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…
In addition, another way Jem shows maturity is when he defends Scout in the attack.
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
disadvantages. But on the other hand, Scout had also matured in multiple ways. One way is when Atticus tells Scout not to fight anymore because she is going to be receiving a lot of mean comments and hate and she has to control herself, so was scout does is Siri listens to Atticus and follows his orders. “Atticus had promised me he wouldn't wear me out if he ever heard of me fighting anymore; I was far too old and too big for such childish things, and the sooner I learn to hold it in the better off everybody would be.” And its understandable why Atticus tells Scout not fight because it's just going to provoke more hatred towards the family and get her even more mad, so yeah the scale has also matured but Jem has matured more. So with all these examples, it's clear that Jim has matured more than any other character throughout the book.” Dill, I had to tell him, you can't run 300 miles of without your mother knowing” Jem is trying to explain to Dill why he had to tell Atticus that he is that their home and that he left his home,Jem knows the effects of Dill leaving his home, his parents could be really worried, and it was a dangerous journey. So to sum it up, Jen has showed more maturity throughout experiences and events.
