How Does Jem Mature In To Kill A Mockingbird
The Older Jem
“If there's just one kinds of folks, why can't they all get along with each other? If they're all alike, why do they go out thier way to despise each other?” Jem has been the biggest character in the book that has changed, some reasons are when Jem snitches out Dill telling Atticus that Dill left home and came with him and Jem, another reasons is when Jem defends his sister from Bob Ewell’s attack on them. These reasons are strong to support my point saying that Jem has matured more than anyone in the book.
One of my reasons is when Jem snitches out Dill, Jem goes and tells Atticus that Dill left home and is at their home. ”They must not know you're here” “We'd know if they were lookin’ for you….” Once Scout and Dill find out that Jem has told Atticus the news, they feel betrayed. They now see Jem as a traitor but Jem knows that was the right thing to do. Jem knows the fear that Dill's parents must be going through knowing their son is missing. …show more content…
After the court case, Bob Ewell is filled with anger towards Atticus’ family. So he decides to attack Atticus’ children while he's drunk. ”He slowly squeezed the breath out of me. I could not move. Suddenly he was jerked backwards and flung on the ground, almost carrying me with him. I thought, Jem's up.”Jem was brave enough to defend his sister, Bob Ewell is an older guy who has advantages over Jem like he's much stronger, and taller. Jem told Scout to run and Jem fought against Ewell. No matter the situation, Jem will defend his little sister regardless the height, strength, or anything that give him
