TKAM from the perspective of Walter Cunningham

Man was I embarrassed ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL! So this is how it happened: Miss. Caroline, a teacher who has an enormous lack of knowledge decided to spear me a dime. Everyone knows me. I'm the poor kid, who can't afford things and can’t really pay peoples back. When it was lunchtime, Miss Caroline speared me a dime. I remember feeling my cheeks flush. I said no thanks and gave it back to her, but she just didn't stop. It was making me even more unconformable. By the way she dressed and her makeup, I new she would be completely disgusted by what I would have to trade and offer back. I felt my throat swell up and I was getting nervous. Suddenly a courageous voice spoke out. The voice belonged to Scout, the one girl who loves to rub my face in dirt. She spoke clearly and openly, and I felt a since of pride when she exclaimed my dilemma. And of course Miss Caroline was in shock. In my openly opinion, I think she is the worst teacher of all teachers and my first. She thinks, knowing how to read before attending school is a sin. Do you know how much goods I would give, to at least own my own books and be known for a smart kid and not just some poor, poor child? It’s a lot to take in I’ll tell ya much.

That day I had a sense of pride and honor and decided to follow Scout and Jem home. I was thankful to be eating their good foods. Though when it came to dinnertime, Scout was having trouble under standing the difference between company and Cunninghams and was quibbling. When Miss Calpurnia snatched Scout into the kitchen and tanned her, I felt a bit sheepish and discomfort maneuvered into the room. When it was time to leave I felt relieved from the intensity, yet when I arrived back to my daily livelihood, I new things would go back to normal, and my face would be rubbed in the dirt once more and to many times from the hands of Scout. Oh the tyranny. But I guess I deserve it, for her two punishments caused by me: Miss Caroline and Calpurnia. These were the tormenting signs I would somehow get used too.
