Journal #8: Perspective of Dill

It was once more the time that comes nearly at the end of all my recent summers, the time where I have to cherish the few days I have in the great county of Maycomb, I wish I could live there because I have learned so many things from there. Like in the last couple of weeks the subject that i could not swim was brought up in a conversation i was having with Jem. He thought it would be an inconvenience to live in Mississippi and not know how to swim. So he taught me how in a lake and in two weeks I gained the skill which seemed now pretty useful becaause I could allegedly engange my parents to go to the beach with me. I aslo went through some hardships in Maycomb. Like witnessing the racism of our nation in courthouse and yet the judicial system is supposed to be justified and eqaul to both sides. All those hypocrites that walked out the courthouse pretending to feel bad on how the verdict turned out. It just makes me sick most of time thinking about that trial on how Atticus worked so hard to provide a good case but instead it turned out that the evidence didn't matter only the subject which was black vs white. I tried to spend as much time I could with Scout and Dill ever since I ran away from home because i would want good memories back in Meridian. Mississippi.
The last couple of days were aprehensive because soon after tom lost the case and was sent back to jail he had enough and tried to escape but was brutally shot during his escape. The harsh part about it was that Atticus had to tell Tom's wife Helen that she Tom died and she has become a widow. She he had to bring Calpurnia with him and after a long while Atticus came out of the house and i would guess Calpurnia was still in their comforting Helen about the awful news. I hated the fact that I would leave Maycomb soon on a sad event, I tried to make the most of it but the trial was on my mind, I tried to hang out with Jem and Scout but could't, until the l;ast day when i told Scout and jem as soon i was out of School i would come by train and not meet them under obscure circumstances.
