My dear neighbour: Miss Maudie- Your flowers are beautiful!
Hi Everyone! It's me Scout again, today in class our teacher Miss. Caroline asked us to paint a picture inspired by the first person that came to mind, and the first person that came to my mind, was Miss.Maudie. Miss.Maudie is the neighbour who lives across the street from our family. She is a very intelligent lady who spends a lot of time working on her flower beds. Some might say she is obsessed, I would just say that she has a passion for beautiful, living gifts from God she goes to the same Church as us too- or at least that's what she tells us! When Miss. Maudie's house burnt down last month she had to move to a smaller house, but she is still close and seems to be very happy! She enjoys being able to tend to her new larger gardens and being outdoors enjoying the scenery. She is such a nice woman, she never makes fun of my clothes, or tells me that I should be a "lady" like Aunt Alexandra does. Miss.Maudie also makes really delicious cake, its the best tasting for miles and miles. It just doesn't get any better than her cake, its a marvelous masterpiece of a dessert!This is how to make her famous cake. Miss Maudie's tastes better though, because she substitute ingredients for ones that taste extra special. Sometimes when Jem is getting on my nerves, I go to Miss. Maudie's and we sit on her front porch, then if I'm real lucky she brings leftover cake outside from the dinner before and we share it while discussing stories about the old town of Maycomb. Sometimes we talk about Boo Radley, and what he was like as a young boy. She told us that he wasn't as scary as everyone around here thought he was. And that he was actually a sad boy, with a lonely childhood. It made me sad when she told me about it, because he is so misunderstood. I wouldn't want people thinkin I ate rats and whatnot.
