TKAM Journal 1: Jem's POV
Me and Scout were walking to Ms. Rachel’s house because we heard something in her collard patch. We were hoping it was puppies cause her dog was expecting but instead we saw some sort of midget in them. Even though we’d never meet a midget before we decided to preserver and find out the truth about him. What we soon found out was that it was just some short kid who had moved here for the summer, he was an eccentric type of boy. Since we were indigenous to the area we took it upon ourselves to show him round. We told him about all the people in the houses till we came to the Radley’s. We started to tell him the scariest stories about them but he just got more exited, that irked me. Later then we were playing and he dared me to run up to the house. Of course I was scared but I didn’t want to show it, not in front of my young audience. We made a compromise an all I had to do was touch the house so I ran up fast as I could and touched it and ran all the way home not turning to look back.

I feel that you could have explained more about what happened. Also, I think you should have tried to write more in Jem's shoes. Tell us more about how you think he would be feeling, any side thoughts or anything of the sort.

Your post was late!
I think that the begining of your journal entry could have been bettter. Maybe talking about what everything looked like. You could have explined more of what was going on. I couldn't pick up that this was in Jems perspective. I think you could have added something in there to make it seem more like this was a perspective of Jem. You should add thoughts feelings, quotes.The ending sounds cut off.
