SWAT YOLO SWAG YOLO Acrostic poem - Marlee Rochester J- Jaded from having to keep up with Scout and now Dill E- Enthusiastic that Atticus is doing well at court. M- Mad and worried because of the mob going after Atticus.

I am poem-Jem by Marlee Rochester I am a child in a tree-house I wonder when people will quit the fussing about Tom Robinson I hear nothing from Boo Radley  I see Dill growing a relationship in Maycomb   I want to go to Cal's   I am pushing Scout in a tire   I pretend that no one makes fun of me because of Atticus   I feel the hurt when my dad won't play football   I touch the snow I will never see again in my life   I worry that Tom Robinson will be accused as guilty in the case. I cry barely ever because I am growing up. I am older now and see what Scout doesn't.  I understand how hard it must be for Atticus to be put down all the time. I say that Bob Ewell was a good man until he tried to hurt us  I dream that I will one day learn new and exciting things outside of Maycomb. I try to be helpful and nice around Scout and Dill but it is very frustrating sometimes. I hope Boo and I become better acquaintances  I am still that boy in the tree-house even thought you may not see it.

Original Text (Marlee Rochester) Dear diary, Hey.. i'm jem and I is a sweet boy from Maycomb, Alabama. I am your typical country boy with the accent and the sweet talk attitude and definitely knows my manners. I would say i am a fun, courageous little boy with big dreams and always loved to play football even though Atticus, would never play. I spend some time reading, some times playing in the yard or tree-house and some time thinkin' or having my “guy time” with Dill. Once I started wondering and learning about grown up life, i started acting different and having less to do with Scout. Scout and Dill then became better friends because I guess i was too caught up in what Atticus was doing. Eventually, even when Aunt Alexandria was there, i would always be worrying about Atticus and constantly wanting to know what he did and if he was OK. After a while, things got a little better between Scout and me and by the end of the summer you know that i is still that sweet boy playing football, just a little more grown up! Hopin' next summer will be better! your boy, jem
