Snow and Fire

In Maycomb it was cold and snowing since 1885, but it started to snow again. When it started to snow I thought the world was about to end because I have never seen snow in my life. That sounds funny, snow scared me, wow! Mr. Avery said that it snows when kids like Jem and me are fooling around and being bad. Jem and I went to Miss. Maudie's house to make something called a snowman, but I knew it was going to be fun. We made the snowman out of snow and a little out of dirt because there wasn't a lot of snow. Miss. Maudie said that we had to cover up her garden with bags so her plants wouldn't freeze and die. Ahh! Work during fun that stinks, but I love Miss. Maudie so it doesn't matter if I had to do work. During the night when we were sound asleep I was awakened from sleep by Atticus. Atticus told us to go outside, as we went outside I saw Miss. Maudie's house on fire. The fire trucks came and I was so terrified of all the fire and the cold that was shivering my bones. As I saw Mr. Avery fall from the house I was just scared like I saw a monster! Thank Goodness Mr. Avery was okay. As the fire went down, Miss. Maudies house was torn down to pieces. Miss Maudie wasn't angry as I thought she would be. Miss. Maudie wanted a new house with a bigger garden and from now on she would be living with Stephanie Crawford. I was surprised how positive, optimistic, and happy Miss. Maudie was even though her house burns down. She influenced me to be optimistic during hard times or during difficult setbacks in life. When Atticus told me that Arthur Radley also called Boo Radley put a blanket on me when I was shivering made me gasp with excitement and a little terror because Boo Radley was right behind me. I can't wait to see him and thank him for the blanket.
