The protagonist is a very dependent individual due to critical moments in her childhood where she relies on her father for guidance and strays away from her fears, specifically her fear of murky waters. The main character in the story relies on her father for all of her childhood; he acts as a safety blanket to her and uses a yellow towel to physically comfort her: “He wrapped me in a clean yellow towel, and the fear, what was left of it, evaporated” (124). When the girl turns seven, she attends Camp Kinaird with many other young girls where they all learned how to swim. This camp was where

Jem did not have the same pressure about his gender expectations, on the contrary, he is passing through the puberty during the novel, so he is becoming a man and him aware of that many times in the novel, for example when he stands side with his father Atticus against the mob, when he escorts Scout after the performance at the school, and when he tried to defend her from Bob Ewell. Also, Dill did not have that pressure, he is just a child and because he is a very close friend of Scout, at some point he said he will marry Scout when he get older.

The book we have been reading in class has three main characters that develop over time. There's Atticus the dad, scout the daughter of Atticus, and jem the oldest sibling whose father is Atticus. The story gives the base for every character's attitude and feelings and as the story goes on.Jem for example, starts off as a 10 year old and by the end he's 13 and in those 3 years you see a great change. He shows that he's smart for his age, long temper, and very caring

Her use of the diving story really allowed her to express her experience with her mother without the reader feeling unable to relate, the fact that these events happened directly to her gave her whole argument more power due to the fact that she is able to say she did that first hand and she felt guilt prior to the events, and her appeal to emotion allowed her to give the reader a glimpse of the regret she felt thinking back on the whole experience. It is very challenging to think back on painful events and critique what one did wrong, Hopes essay urges the reader to try overcome their challenges so they won’t be able to share the same feeling as regret as she

Wouldn’t you have a feeling of repulsion for an old lady who is always talking down to you? To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee introduces the story of two siblings, Scout and Jem, growing up in a racial society. Jem, Scout’s sister, undergoes many coming of age experiences. One of the coming of age experiences Jem has faced is when he has to do a favor for Mrs. Dubose, the old lady Scout and Jem don’t like and who is also a morphine addict. Jem’s coming of age experience is developed by Mrs. Dubose through Conflict, Irony, and Imagery.

At the beginning of the story the author wants us to infer that Jem thinks highly about Maycomb, however, Jem changes his perspective about Maycomb county as the story develops.

Jem and Scout’s relationship together is unbelievably strong. We find that Jem is extremely protective over his little sister and would do anything to stop her from getting hurt. Jem becomes more mature throughout the novel as you can tell when Tom Robinson is in court he cries and also he doesn’t want to play with his little sister but he will still do anything and everything he can for his little sister they have an unbreakable bond. She always wants his to play but he just goes outside and watches her and protects her. They both mature a lot throughout the novel. Scout matures through her experiences throughout the novel. At the beginning of the novel she is all innocent and naive. Scout at the end of the novel lost much of her

It has been nearly ten years since something similar this has happened. I would have never thought this day would come so soon, well at least not for my brother Jem that is. I never really thought of how it would happen or how old we would be or if I would even be there when it did happen. I have not cried so hard since Dill had told Jem and me he was being drafted and that he would not end up marrying me after all that time. Jem was only twenty-two years old, he was the only family I had left since Atticus started drinking and we had cut off all connections from Maycomb, but I never imagined I would lose Jem so soon. Jem and I moved down to Georgia when Jem was old enough to take care of me. Jem was so inspired by Atticus trying to defend a colored man back in Maycomb he chose Georgia so he could make a difference in the lives of the colored folks who needed some inspiration of their own. Although, Jem’s idea of inspiring the folks of Georgia was quite different than I thought of him. Jem convinced me to protest with him, protest that blacks should get paid as much as whites, blacks should get the same opportunities that white folks did. At first I was only going along with him because I did not know where to go, I wish I did know where to go and I knew what was going to happen and I could have avoided being at my only brother’s funeral. It all started when he met Roy Edwards at the county jail, Jem’s job did not pay enough to supply the both of us with food and shelter so

Jemison's story does not fully support the notion of Indian savagery. About the savagery of the Indians, she basically told about that during the time she was kidnapped. For the whole story, she overturned their savagery. In addition, the most important note is that the Indians was not the ones who started the war. According to Digital History, it stated, "Christopher Columbus believed that Indians would serve as a slave labor force for European" 1. With the breed and cruel ambitition of the Europeans, all of the things the Indians did was just to resist and protect their land and people. There was a different story that was told by one of the survivals from the Europeans. Like the another essay we read and wrote about, Jemison once again emphasized the peaceful life in Indian clans by showing the truth behind the Indians' savagery, showing her life as one of the members in Indian clan, and showing the reasons why she did want to go back to his true homeland. All of the things mentioned was to show the truth that may be disturbed by other Europeans who supported the war or just looked at the scenario carelessly.

Harper Lee’s classic novel To Kill a Mockingbird, wonderfully portrays the rises and falls of a close sibling relationship. Jem Finch is ten years old and just beginning to understand and evaluate the world around him, including his sister, Scout. Jem and Scout are close, but then grow apart due to Jem’s newfound independence, but grow close again once they both mature enough. Jem’s evaluations of school, teachers, peers, neighbors, family, gender roles, race relations, and himself greatly affect this change in relation with his sister. Jem’s changing relationship with his sister highlights his changing perception and values.

Many people have heard the story about the girl in the water. There are many versions and outcomes on how the story is told.

Older brothers are typically the ones who annoy and bully the younger siblings with love. They are the ones who the parents rely on to help around the house. Jem Finch is a little bit different than the typical older brother to a little girl, but then again his little sister isn’t that ordinary either. Jem Finch displays many character traits. In the first few chapters he displays a little kid who gets in trouble along side of his friends and younger sister, but further into the novel Jem demonstrates more responsible behaviors by accepting his wrongs and the consequences. He also shows how he will stand up for Scout and take care of her, even though he doesn’t like to be seen with her while they are at school, and he is hard on her when

I take a deep breath, my nostrils are filled with the pleasant aroma of the salty sea air. This is my happy place, this is where I belong. As I sit with my freshly painted pink toes in the sand, I am overwhelmed with all that is happening around me. To my right, there is a family of four; a mother, father, and two little red headed girls that look like twins, laughing and jumping around, taking in the big world around them. The children are in their bright red and purple flowered bathing suits, running and screaming, attempting to get their toes wet in the chilly water that churns back and forth on the shore. After a few attempts they decide to run and jump full force into the crystal clear abyss, unaware of what creatures they could find if they dive deep enough.

During the course of reading F. Scott Fitzgerald’s short story, “Jemina, The Mountain Girl” there were various aspects of the story. Some were were effective while others were ineffective. A specific example of effectiveness of the story is in it’s use of flashbacks to give historical perspective of the Tantrum and Doldrum dispute. Another example of Fitzgerald's effective storytelling, is making it sound realistic in the sense of the different dialects spoken in different parts of the United States. This was exemplified in the exposition of the story when Jemina Tantrum speaks to a stranger from Philadelphia.
