Week 4 Homework

I never liked her for sure. I mean she called Atticus names and said he wasn't any good than the negros, or whatever she liked to called them. Mrs Dubose was always such a crooked woman, never did any good of me and Scout for sure, just shouted at us all the time. But then Atticus told us she died today. To be honest, I don't know, I guess I was kind of glad to not have to listen to her ugly voice anymore. But then Atticus told us something and well, now I feel bad. Atticus says that she had some addiction - to morphine. He said that's why she was having her scary fits and all the medicine. He said she knew she was going to die, wanted to leave the world 'beholden to nothing'. So she promised herself that she would detach herself from the morphine, and thats why she wanted me to read to her, and all the alarm clocks and stuff. And now Atticus shows me this camellia, I thought it was horrible, the way she gave me something from her annoying garden. Now, I think it looks pretty I guess. From what Atticus tells me, I guess she wasn't such a bad lady as I thought.
