Dear Diary,
It's been about 10 years since I wrote to you. I've accomplished many great things since then. I'm now a proffesional football player for Alabama. My arm healed after about a month after I broke it. When it healed, it was stronger than ever. My coach put me on the team as the star quarterback. Now I'm the star quarterback for Alabama. I travel a lot, but still keep in touch with my family and friends. I just went home a few weeks ago. Scout is now 18 and she's finally acting like a lady. Atticus is doing well too. Dill was there. He's in college now. Boo Radley even decided to show up for dinner one night. He's been a lot more open now that he saved us. Well I have to go get ready for the big game. Wish me luck.

Tom-Guilty
Dear Diary,
Well I'm real upset about the verdict. I really thought Atticus would help me. I know he tried, and I'm truly grateful for that. I'm just so upset. I think the reason why I was found guilty was 'cause the jury had no black men on it. The only white person I know who doesn't hate black people is Atticus. Well I guess we still have a chance of winning, but not a very good one. I really miss my family and friends, I just hope they ain't too worried 'bout me. Jail isn't too bad, if you behave. I do, but sometimes the guards are mean to me anyway 'cause I'm black. This world just ain't fair. Well I gotta go, it's time to excersice. I really hope Atticus can help me.

Dear Diary,
I been havein a real bad day. I'm at the courthouse now on break. I really appreciate Mr. Finch for standin up for me. I mean if he wasn't my lawyer, I would probablly lose the case. I feel sorry for him though. People don't like when a white man stands up for a black man, even if I am innocent. Mr. Finch is the only one who knows that I'm not guilty. I would never even touch a white girl if she didn't want me to. I would also never hurt anyone less the hurt me first. I don't really know why Mr. Ewell is wants me to go to jail so bad. I never did anythin to him. Well looks like my breaks about over. I really hope Mr. Finch will win this case for me.

Dear Diary,
Today was my first day back in Maycomb. I got here this morning and me, Scout, and Jem are already messin with Boo Radley. We ain't trying to be mean, we're just havin a little fun. Anyway, we were just havin a catch when I heard talkin from inside the Radley house. I told Jem and Scout to come listen. It sounded like Mr. Radely was yellin at someone. We figured that someone was Boo. We couldn't really hear what he was sayin, but then it got real quiet. We didn't realize how close we were to the house, so we ran. When we were safe behind a tree, we looked at the house and Mr. Radley was on the porch with his shotgun. I swore I could see another man in a chair in the far corner of the room staring back at me. When Mr. Radley went back inside, the yelling continued and we ran. I told Scout and Jem that I thought I saw Boo, but they didn't believe me. I decided to let it go. I figured we would have all summer to see if we could see Boo. Well that's all for now. I can't wait to write about what I do tomorrow.

Summer in Maycomb: Dill
Dear Diary,
I just came here for the summer to Maycomb County, Alabama. I really like it and I already made some friends. Scout and Jem are my new neighbors. They’re real fun and we play everyday. There’s this house on the street called the Radley House. Jem told me all about the stories of the Radleys. It seems kinda scary and I’m very curious about the house. One day I dared Jem to go and touch the house. He though ‘bout it for a while but then agreed. I really didn’t think he was gonna do it. He proved me wrong. He touched the house then came runnin back all out of breath. I can tell that this is gonna be a great summer.
Today me and Jem are gonna give a note to Boo Radley. I came up with the idea. Jem said he was in. When Scout came out to play Jem told her she couldn’t but let her in anyway. It’s not that I don’t like Scout, it’s just she can be pretty annoyin and she acts like a real girl sometimes. Anyway, we were ready to give Boo the note. I wrote on the note asking if Boo would like to come out and play sometime. Jem attached it to the fishing pole and me and Scout were lookouts. I decided to ring a bell if I heard anyone comin. When Jem was close enough, he reached out the pole and tried to get it in the window. The note wouldn’t come off so Scout had to come help him. After a few more tries, I saw Atticus. He was standing right there so I rang the bell as hard and fast as I could but it was too late. We were caught. Atticus yelled at me to stop ringing the bell. We all tried our hardest to explain but Atticus just assumed that we were makin fun of Boo by acting out his life and givin him a note. I could tell that Jem was real upset that Atticus yelled at him.
