Journal #5 -Chapters 13-15 Perspective: Dill

I just can't beleive I did this. I finally ran away from home. I don't even know what to do next. I've been thinking of running away for months now, running away to Maycomb so I can see Scout again. My mom hasn't even been paying attention to me ever since she got married. And my new dad, don't get me started. He started off being all nice then he just ignores me. I don't care what he thinks about me.
I finally arrived at Maycomb and everything seems all right now. I like being here at Maycomb because all I think when I'm in school are the summers I get to spend with Jem and Scout. Now I can spend alot more time with them. I think the worst part of the whole running away thing was hiding from the grown ups. Because if they find you, they're just gonna call your parents and tell them to pick you up. So I hid. I hid under Scout's bed. When the Finch's were out for dinner I just snuck in and hid under Scout's bed. Then Scout saw me and my heart was just beating and then stopped for maybe half a second. When I heard the footsteps I thought it was Atticus, and I was scared for my life. The footsteps were heading towards me and I almost wet myself. When I saw it was Scout it was just a huge releif. Like a huge truck going at you and then just stops 1 inch away from you. But then Jem saw me. He went off and I thought he was going to tell Atticus. But I didn't know he would tell him right away. Suprisingly Atticus didn't send me home. But instead of sending me home he fed me and I slept in Jem's bed. Then he sent me Atticus sent me home the next morning.

I like how you describe how dill feels in dill's perspective. You give a lot of imformation about how dill feels about jem and scout and his life so far.
The only thing i recommend is i recommend is understanding what happen to dill. Because the next morning they went to follow atticus to the town not go home. Other then that good job.
