Monologue: Good Morning friends‚ today I will be giving a eulogy to share about my experiences with Mrs Dubose. I had never liked Mrs Dubose.

The wind was harsh in Maycomb that night‚ the moon a meer pearl in a black sky. I sat in the chair in my study‚ cringing from the moonlight emanating from the large window‚ as if it‚ too‚ would burn my skin. I tapped my pen‚ thinking about the Finch children.

“Your father’s no better than the niggers and trash he works for!”. Suddenly I couldn’t move. Scout had to drag me along‚ and I don’t remember much from that trip to the stores. We walk by Mrs. Dubose’s‚ and she is not at her usual place on the porch. Instantly my arms come to action as if they had a mind of their own.
