The Sky is Falling

                                                                        

            Today something very weird thing happened in Maycomb County. Today Mrs. Radley died and Atticus went to their house to tell them that he was sorry for their loss. According to Atticus her death was imminent- she was extremely old. I interrogated Atticus to find out what he knew about Boo Radley. He was very meticulous with what he answered; he didn’t want me and Jem to try again to get Boo out of the house. At the end he just told me that he did not see him.

Next morning when I woke up I had probably the biggest chill I ever had in my life. When I woke up I ain’t felt the sweltering climate there is everyday in Maycomb. The moment my feet had contact with the floor a chill ran thru my body. I looked at the window next to my room and saw the most bizarre thing I ever saw. I thought the sky was falling; I didn’t know what the white particles that were falling were. It seemed as if the world was ending. Had the world gone in a state of anarchy?  I screamed till Atticus and Jem came to help me. Atticus told me that it was snow and it was something that happens all over the world only that it is very weird for it to happen in Maycomb. He said there had been an elapse of many years since the last snow fall in Maycomb County. Ten minutes passed until I was able to assimilate what they were saying.

            There was no school that day because this was very weird and the school wasn’t ready for this. Jem and I conspired to build a snowman but we didn’t had enough snow so we got some from Miss Maudie’s backyard. After that we still didn’t had enough so Jem made the snowman out of mud and the covered it with snow to make it a snowman instead of a mudman. We made it look as Mr. Avery because Jem kind of lionized him since we saw him peeing. I was scared that Atticus will get mad at us because of the piness  it had. I was sure that he was going to have a strong dissension about us making as snowman with a piness. I was impressed when he didn’t scream at us but told us that we were to disguise him. I that weird day nothing worth to tell happen.

            I the middle of the night Atticus woke me and stared putting in my clothes on me. I didn’t know why he was waking me up that early until I apprehended what was happening. I asked him and he answered with two words: Miss Maudie. Jem and I were taken outside of the house and next doors Atticus and other men from the county were taking what they could from Miss Maudie’s house. I wanted to go there and helped them but the Atticus instruction of not moving shackled me in my spot. What was happening was a real calamity, all the house was burning down. I thought that snow was made out of water but apparently it can cause a fire. Well, at least Miss Maudie didn’t get hurt in the fire. I was so cold while I was outside that Jem and I were hugged to maintain body heat.

            After that Atticus made hot coco for Jem and me for us to heat up. While we drank the coco Atticus asked me from where I got the blanket. I didn’t know what was he talking about until I saw mi elbows. I said that I didn’t know from where it came. In a couple of minutes we were able to solve the mystery apparently the person the placed the blanket on top of me was nobody less than Boo Radley. I was amazed that he had placed the blanket on top of me. I also couldn’t believe that the only moment he went out of his house I didn’t pay attention to him and didn’t even see him. Jem confessed of all the things we had done and also about going to the Radley’s house. I believe that Atticus had had enough action that day because he didn’t get mad at us. For the rest of the night he just talked about his cases and about how his client was being arraigned tomorrow.

            That next day Atticus didn’t obligate us to go to school because he knew we were tiered from what had happened yesterday. We played outside of the house for the majority of the day. We spotted Miss Maudie going to her incinerated garden she didn’t look as sad as we expected. To our amazement she said that it wasn’t that bad that her house had burned. She said that she always wanted a bigger garden and a smaller house. I looked at Jem funny and he whispered in my ear: that is just Miss Maudie.
