It was the SNOWMAN who caused the fire





In this chapter, we read about a few things that are pretty important. The big thing was that Miss Maudie's house burned down. It burned down because of the chimney not being cleaned out. It never snows in Maycomb since 1885, so she just never thought it was snow again. I think that snowman had something to do with Miss Maudie's house being burned down. In 1885, someone probably made a snowman and it probably melted away right away. I think that the snowman scout and Jem made sabotaged Miss Maudie's house. Maybe that snowman came back and set the house on fire to show a signal to the people of Maycomb that winter will take over the world. Maybe the snowman is trying to conquer the states that barely have winter and is trying to take over the whole world with winter everywhere. Did the chimney actually get cleaned out and the snowman sabotaged Miss Maudie's house? The men of maycomb got the furniture out before anything else bad happened. Mr. Avery almost got stuck in the house while it was burning down, but he ended up getting out safely. I can relate to this incident, but it wasn't an accident. I would travel to California with my grandparents to see my grandfather's mother. She was in her nineties. My grandfather had went to the grocery store to get some food. I was with my great grandmother and my grandmother. I noticed a huge fire in the back yard. I told my grandmother and she called for help. Firefighters came and we got to help put out the fire by getting our hose in the backyard. It got on the back of the house but it didn't damage anything else inside of the house. The backyard was messed up, but no one was hurt. After the fire was put out, policemen found fireworks. Another big thing is that it snowed in the state they live. They haven't had snow since 1885, and Atticus hasn't seen snow at all until that day. Scout and Jem made a snowman that looked like Mr. Avery and made the snowman a bit fat to make fun of Mr. Avery. Even Atticus got a laugh out of it. Obviously I have seen snow before because I live in Minnesota. It was never a surprise for me when it snowed. I probably saw it at a really young age.

  1. I loved your blog. I think this one of the funniest blogs ever. I likes how you put out your opinion about the snowman it could probably be the snowman who savatage everything and wanted to conquer the world. I'm also grateful that nothing happen to you in the fire in your grandparents house.
