My mama died a while back, so it is up to me to keep the house runnin' smoothly. Since my Pa goes off for days-long drinking binges, I act as mother to my siblings. We don't have that much money because my pa spends his employment money on alcohol. I am saving up my nickels so one day soon I can let my little siblings go buy some ice cream.
My house is located in Maycomb, Alabama. The area where my house is located is near the colored folks. I hate being surrounded by them. They pass my house all the time on their way to and from their jobs. The only good thing 'bout this is that sometimes I ask em' to do some work for me. I see this one man everyday, I think his name is Tom Robinson. I ask him to do a lot of jobs for me. Sometimes I have him choppin' kindlin', totin' water, or breakin' a chiffarobe. I don't think my dad would be too happy about me askin' the colored folks to do jobs for me 'cause he don't want me near them. But he won't find out so I won't worry. He don't help me anyway an' I gotta do all this work by myself. I don't see no problem with askin' for a little help every once an' a while.
