Anyone lose their pants???

Anyone lose their pants?

Jem did, and had a difficult and awkward time getting them back.

Last nights reading continued on from Scout, Jem, and Dill getting back from wondering around Boo Raddley's house. They found some pretty weird things and saw some too. As they wondered around things got very eery, (sp?) or suspecious. In a split second a shotgun shell fired, and they took off as fast as they could away from the house. Not far from the edge of Boo Raddley's property they encountered a chain link fence and crawled under it as fast as they could. Scout and Dill got threw without a problem but when Jem tried to his pants got cought and he took off without them. Chapter 8 starts here.

Scout and Jem were lieing in bed sound asleep when Scout woke up to Jem calling for her. Jem told her that he was going back to Boo Raddley's house to retrieve his pants. Scout got chills down her back when she heard this because she was scared of Boo Raddley. She offered to go with him but he told her to stay home. Scout got very nervous as Jem was gone, thinking every second that Jem was gone Boo Raddley had kidnapped him. Finally Jem returned home and was more scared than Scout.

Jem told Scout that when he got to the Raddley's house he found his pants without a problem. What scared him was that when all three of them (Jem, Scout and Dill) were running away from the house Jem's pants were basically torn off and knotted up. When he arrived at his pants, they were stiched up at the tare, and folded. Jem got to thinking and came to the silly conclusion of thinking Boo Raddley could read his mind and know what he was going to do next. Jem was very suspicious and saftley home for the night.

The next morning Scout awoke to THE WORLD ENDING!!!!!!!! Just kidding. Scout awoke to what she thought was the world ending. It turns out she awoke to snow. Kinda different huh? Anyway as you can tell Scout had never seen snow before. Jem soon after explained to her what snow was. As soon as the last word of explaination left his mouth, Scout wanted to go outside and make snowmen!!! Jem told her that they had to wait a little while for more to fall down and then they could go. As soon as the waiting was over, they were off! Jem told her to gather dirt, (I was thinking dirt? What the heck , your making snowmen aren't you?) and snow. Jem knew what he was doing though. Even though there wasn't a HUGE amount of snow they made excellent snowmen, or as I read they did. Jem and Scout Put the dirt into balls, the size of snowmen, then packed snow on top of the dirt. Pretty genius huh? I thought it was.

Soon after the neighbor's house cought on fire. Big city comotion. Firetruck's, stuff being thrown out the window's, the whole nine yards. Long story short, the house went up in flames and burned to nothing, sad I know. Well I know that's not a LOT about the last part but sorry, that's all she wrote.

Let me know what's happenin!!! Peace Out!!!

James Blonde, What a nice summary post and eye catching title! So, do you think Jem's right about the pants? Did Boo fix them? I thought the same thing about the snow man...dirt! Pretty clever, I agree. So what's a morphodite?
Good post!
