These have been some upsetting days. Learning how to use guns eventually lead to the killing of animals, which i do not really agree with. I'm getting to old to warn these kids constantly `but i still have my skills in different activities. Checkers and playing the Jew's harp are some things I am good at, but i just don't want Jem and scout to become like me and lots of animals. Back then i was called O'l One Shot because i was the best hunter. I vaguely remembered my hunting days when i raised that rifle at the "mad dog" I didn't think that we were in much peril from that dog he was sad, weak, and was dying. I didn't like it, i had a advantage over it and it didn't feel right. As i control this case it is becoming more of a problem in the neighborhood for Scout. And even if they use the words Nigger-Lover as an insult i take it as compliment, i love everyone and discrimination should be eliminated, everyone should be treated equally because we are all the same.
Jem is having problems with Ms. Dubose but now that is over. From her saying bad things about me or them to Jem cutting up her bushes to him reading to her everyday after school, and finally to her death of morphine. She would go inaudible and space out to the alarm clock. Of course Jem had many reasons to destroy her flowers from racism to her wanting to contradict him constantly, which she did. A very cantankerous old lady who now can stop teasing Jem. I need to teach that now 12 year old boy to ignore the negative comments of other people. I think Jem should have learned from her and Scout too. Me, knowing Calpurnia would probably take them to church which is fine but i just don't want them learning the wrong things from folks who are like Ms Dubose. Calpurnia is nice and i think i can trust her with helping the kids understand the rest of this town and the different people, while im gone

Try to make it sound like Atticus. It sounds more like a summary of what happened in that segment of the book; make it sound like how the characters in the book talk. I liked how you said Atticus didn't like killing animals, and the fact that you said he didn't really remember his hunting told me that he hadn't hunted in quite some time. I like how you turned the term "nigger lover" around and made seem like a good thing; it's exactly what Atticus did in the book. Your punctuation is still off, and you have a lot of run-on sentences.
I think that at the begginning you described the words that atticus would say really good. When you talk about how he feels about the case was good to because that was one of the key parts in this section of the book
