Since there is no task for logical intelligence, I shall do my third highest smart, myself smart. I shall do a diary entry of Scout of her first day of school. Here goes:
Dear Diary,
Today was my first day in school! It was so exciting. This morning, Cal waked me up early in the morning. It was tiring, but being the first day of school, I was nevertheless hyped up! However, Cal forced me to wear a dress. It was so uncomfortable. I have never worn a dress before. It makes me look like a sissy. It totally doesn't match my personality. Hmph.
Jem took me to school today although it is usually a parent's job. Jem told me not to bother him nor approach him when in school. I am so not used to this. I really miss the days when Jem and I do not need to go to school and we can play all day long. Never mind, I shall put that aside. Our teacher is called Miss Caroline Fisher. She has golden hair and pink cheeks: she is beautiful. I wish I can be like her when I grow up -- in the boyish way. She began the day by telling us a story about cats. In the story, cats could talk! So interesting! However, I think most of my other classmates doesn't know what she is talking about: they just lack imagination.
Then disaster struck. She told me to read THE FIRST READER and MOBILE REGISTER. Miss Caroline realised that I could read and told me to tell Atticus to stop teaching me. However, I told her that he did not teach me, he only read to me. I tried to defend Atticus, but she told me to stop reading altogether. She is so irritating. I love the times when Atticus reads to me. She just doesn't realise that this is a part of family bonding. Later Jem explained that Miss Caroline introduced a new teaching method. Sigh... I think I would try to forget these unhappy things that happen in school.
Then there was this was this Cunningham controversy. Miss Caroline asked everyone of us to put our lunch on top of our desks. When she walked past Walter, she asked him where was his lunch bucket. Walter ignored her but she continued interrogate him. Then she gave him a quarter and asked him to go downtown to have his lunch. Walter refused and Miss Caroline became annoyed. At this moment, everyone was looking at me. They expected me to explain to her. Hence I explained the background of the Cunninghams to her. I just said, "Miss Caroline, he's a Cunningham." She didn't understand this statement and used a ruler to beat my hand. This world is so unfair. I think that is enough for today. I shall go sleep now.
Love,
Jean Louise Scout
