TKAM Journal 2: Dill's POV

It was when I came back to Maycomb that Scout, Jem and I came up with the funniest game yet, the Boo Radley game. We ran around acting out the Radley stories. I had to admit I was a chameleon in this game, one moment I would be Boo teetering side to side then I would Mr.Radley, in tyranny tying people up. We were reenacting the stabbing since when Atticus came out tormenting us in my opinion. We ran around, trading the characters up in a wild game of Radley tag when I tried dodging Scout evasively and ended up falling over, the most amazing thing happened, I looked over at the Radley house and I saw the curtains of the front window move, when no one was home. I never told them about it either, I would save this story for when I really had to distract someone.

I liked that you kept all the events that happened as simple as possible. Though I felt that this could've been done for a character that isn't known to elaborate on details. Since you are writing from Dill's POV, I feel that the more you detail your narrative, the more it seems like its' actually Dill talking to us.

Your post was late so I didnt do a comment, but I will do a comment now.

I like how you talke about the Boo Radley game. I think that you could have wrote more. Why did you think you were a chameleon? Say more.I like how the ending of you post is kind of misterious. I think that it would be interesting if you would put quoted from the story. I think this would make it feel more like you where there watching everything going on.
