By the end of my first year, the Dewey Decimal System was school-wide. I wasn't too thrilled about this because I didn't have any of the other previous methods of learning to compare to. I feel like in a way I was being cheated out of something. Jem was functional alone or in a group, where I was not.
On my walk home from school that day, I noticed something shiny in the knot hole of the tree in the Radley's yard. I went over to investigate and saw that it was gum. I unwrapped it and shoved it in my mouth as fast as I could. When Jem got home and found out where I got the gum, he started yelling at me. He told me that the gum was poison and that if I didn't spit it out he'd tell Atticus. It was losing it's flavor anyway.
