Aunt Alexandra came to visit I could tell that the kids weren't so happy about it, but I told them she would be staying for a while with us. I think that Scout is the one who has trouble with her the most, because Aunt Alex is always saying she needs to act more like a girl and that's right, but she can when she wants to, is what I think. Scout asked what rape was, because people were saying things about Finches. When she asked me she said that Calpurnia told her to ask me after they got back from her church. I told Scout what it was but she didn't understand why it was bad. Scout asked me is she could go to visit Calpurnia sometime and before I could answer Aunt Alex answered for me, and said that she couldn't go. Scout was so mad at that, that she yelled at Aunt Alex. She wanted to know if she had to listen to her and I said she did.
One day, Scout and Jem were fighing over something I didn't know what, but I sent them to bed. So I was downstairs when Jem came down and told that Dill was in Scout's room. I went up thinking it was a joke, but sure enough there was Dill standing there covered in dirt. When I asked him how he got here, he said that he stole money from his mom and caught a train to Maycomb. I told him to eat and take a bath after I would figure out what to do with him. Once he was cleaned up him and Scout went up into her room. He stayed the night with us. In the middle of the night I herd someone get up and go into Scout's room.
A week after Dill arrived, a group of men showed up at the front door led by Heck Tate, the county sheriff. There is a possible lynch mob forming to lynch Tom Robinson. Aunt Alex started fighting with me and accused me of being a disgrace to the Finch family. The next night I went into town and while I was sitting outside the jailhouse, because that is where Tom Robinson is. Scout, Dill and Jem came running out of the bushes when a group of men came up to me. Scout talked to Walter Cunningham and after that they all left. Mr. Underwood was at his news stand with a double barrel shotgun and he said that he had my back the whole time. After all that I took the kids back home.

I think that you did a great job writing in Atticus perspective! Next time I would try and make transitions between what you are saying because it is just one thing after another like a list. You used great details and you use that most important parts of the story. Nice Job!

Your in the perspective of Atticus, and Aunt Alexandra is Atticus's sister so i think you should chang it to just Alexandra. I think you should put you own opinion about how you felt in Atticus's perspective.
Great Job!
