Atticus was sitting up reading in Jem’s room. I asked if I could sit with him and he agreed. He was reading a book, so I asked him to read it aloud. I was falling asleep so he took me to my room. I told him the story was good, but the man in the story was misunderstood . People thought he was bad. But when they finally saw him “he hadn’t done anything… he was real nice.”
“Most people are Scout, when you finally see them.”
He tucked the covers under my chin, turned out the light , and went into Jem’s room. He would be there all night, and when Jem woke up in the morning.
