Journal #5 chapters 13-15

From the perspective of Dill

I ran away. I had to get away, I did not like it there at all. I took a train and I hitched a ride on a wagon and I walked a lot of the way. When scout stepped on me I felt nervous I was scared she was going to find me and be mad with me. And guess what, she was. I extracted myself up from under the bed after Jem found me by putting the broom under the bed and was scraping me with it. I came out and because I went so far without a shower I was so dirty turning my skin brown. It felt so gross and I had on dirty clothes that I wore for many days and did not change. I got up and scout was so shocked to see me . I thought she was goin to scream her head off that she saw. You and me both know that Scout thinks she is so infallible. I think we can make an acquiescence because we can agree that scout is the way that she is. I am so begrudged of Jem and Scout because they get so much and I don’t. I wish I got more love from my mom and her new husband. All they do is buy me this and that. I don’t think that that is love its just buying me love. I want to spend more time with them. They sit in their room and do nothing. I want to do stuff with them but they wont let me. When we Scout and Jem came and picked me up and we went to the jail house I was surprised I just stood there and did not say anything.
