Today I found two pieces of gum in the knothole of the tree on the Radley property. I chewed both pieces because it's not often that I get gum. But when I told Jem where i got them he became worried and told me to spit them out right away. He also made me gargle in case it was poisonous, but I don't think it really helped, it just took the taste out of my mouth. I don't think they were harmful I just think Boo wants a connection to the outside world.

The Beginning of a Nightmare: school
9/16/1933
Today was the first day of torture! My teacher, Miss Caroline, hates me because Atticus taught me how to read. That horrible lady told me that I wasn't able to read with Atticus at night anymore because she was the teacher, and SHE had to teach me. I don't understand the point of that. After all, why does it matter who teaches me as long as I learn? Also, Miss Caroline tried to give Walter Cunningham a quarter to buy his lunch, and he wouldn't take it. I politely tried to explain to her that Walter was a Cunningham and they don't accept nothin' they can't pay back. I'm gonna tell Atticus that I'm never goin' back to school again!
