Scout Finch

The narrator of the book To Kill A Mockingbird is in first person and her name is Scout Finch. The story begins when Scout is only 5 years old and ends when she is 8 years old. Her father is Atticus Finch, Tom Robinson’s lawyer. When the case started about Mayella I feel as if Scout living with her father got an advantage so therefore she believed in Tom Robinson being innocent. She got all of the unknown details, she got to find about about the case more. I think Scout knowing others opinions on the case gave her an advantage to know more than an average person in the town would. I feel since she got all of those secret details and secrets about the case in both sides she made the readers believe her more and more because she was providing

For instance, Jem says, “It showed Atticus barefoot in short pants, chained to a desk: he was diligently writing on a slate while frivolous-looking girls yelled, “Yoo-hoo!” at him. That's a compliment, he spends his time doin’ things that wouldn't get done if nobody did ‘em”’ (pg. 116). Jem is supporting Atticus through this unfortunate event. I think Jem is very thoughtful and considerate by making his father feel better about the situation. I thought Jem was more self centered than he actually is. I believe that the reason Jem is maturing is because all of the bad things that have happened to him at only 12 years old. Conflict proves the theme by Jem’s actions towards

In To Kill a Mockingbird there are multiple objects/characters that arise, but the symbol of the mockingbird stands out the most in the novel as they serve as an image of innocence.

Growing up has a big impact in To Kill a Mockingbird. Jem ages from 10 to 13 has change a lot during his life. When the story begins, Jem's idea of bravery is just touching the side of the Boo Radley’s house and then only because In all his life, Jem had never declined a dare. But as the story goes. Jem’s bravery slowly grows.

Can an individual truly gain maturity without being presented with any experience that triggers maturing? The answer is proved no while looking at Harper Lee’s marvelous and unique novel To Kill A Mockingbird. The main character Scout Finch illustrates a fine transition from childhood into adulthood over the progress of the book. At the beginning of the story, she possesses innocence and naivety like any other child would do, but she begins to lose those characteristics as the story moves along. The missionary circle tea is a defining moment for her since she deals with different complications and values in life. She sees how the ladies at the meeting are hypocritical and prejudiced, forms a better understanding of what it is to be like a real

In Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird,” Scout, or Jean Louise Finch, is the main character, she is a very intelligent young girl who loves to solve her problems with fist fights. Scout has two close friends, one of them is her older brother Jem, or Jeremy Atticus Finch, and the other is Dill whose full name is Charles Baker Harris. These two characters become her allies, for they get into trouble with her as well as helping her with her problems, such as getting out of trouble. I believe the main idea in this story is about Scout and how she chooses to deal with her problems, or bumps in her journey that are either because she is a girl or because she has the ability to read. The time period in which this story takes place is around the 1900’s.

While even Scout grows throughout the story she does not have huge changes. For the most part the characters in “To Kill a Mockingbird” have constant personalities. Many may even relate to Jem and his changing attitude through the story, his high and mighty idea of himself. Although some may not, instead scoffing at the young boy's behavior. One can only imagine what was going through Jems head as he aged, the period of time in which he was slowly maturing is a tough time in every childs

Throughout To Kill a MockingBird we see Jem grow in maturity as Scout’s brother. As we see the mental growth and physical growth from Jem, Harper Lee uses that to adds imagery, dramatic irony, and mood to To Kill a MockingBird.

Being intelligent and curious can be beneficial sometimes. The book To Kill A Mockingbird is by Harper Lee. It is about about a girl named Scout Finch who lived in Maycomb County, Alabama during the Great Depression. She is a very intelligent and curious girl.

Jem, another character that goes through major changes, develops the skill to understand others through life changing events that happen to him. Without this ability, Jem will not have the ability to fully understand other people’s actions, which may lead to him treating others with disregard. When the story begins, Jem is ten years old and by the end of the story, he is 13 years old. In addition, Jem is going through a transitional time, as for any boy (puberty and beginning adolescence), a multitudinous number of life-altering events impact Jem. The best measure of Jem’s maturity comes from the development of Jem’s fortitude and bravery. Through events such as playing games in the front yard, Mrs. Dubose’s death, interactions with Boo

In “To Kill a Mockingbird”, Harper Lee artfully and realistically matures the character of Jem Finch throughout the novel. In the story, Jem transforms from a trouble-making, sometimes insensitive young boy to a more worldly, responsible young man. There is a significant difference in the Jem who, in the beginning of the novel, tries to break into the Radleys’ house and initiates and participates in games that make fun of them and the Jem nearer the end of the novel who takes it upon himself to inform Atticus of the sudden appearance of Dill even though he breaks “the remaining code of [the three’s] childhood” in the process. This change is entirely plausible, because as people age, they inevitably are faced with more duties and therefore must

In the beginning of the novel, Jem was characterized as a very immature boy, but later on in the book he starts to act like a young adult. For example, when Scout was being disrespectful to her Auntie, Jem said “you antagonize Aunty and I'll-I’ll spank you”(Lee 184). Usually only adults scold the children. As Jem scolds Scout, he shows that he is old enough to tell her what is wrong and when to stop. As Jem gets older he continues to mature into a young adult that is capable of doing the same things as any other adult around him.

Jem Finch, I think has changed a lot during this book, from keeping secrets to telling his father whats going on. In the beginning of this book Jem was more of a child, like when he would play with Dill and Scout. Toward the middle of the book Jem became more grown up, he started to be very moody. “I just can’t help it if Mister Jem’s growin’ up. "He's gonna want to be off to himself a lot now, doin' whatever boys do…”(Page 115) This quote is when Calpurnia had to explain to Scout why he wasn’t any fun anymore, Scout was a little confused but decided to leave him alone. The point when Jem broke the rules of childhood was when he told Atticus about Dill under the bed “It ain’t a snake, it’s somebody”(Pg.139) This quote is when Jem went to grab a broom because Scout thought she felt a snake, and to find that it was really Dill, Jem then goes and tells Atticus.

The novel “To Kill A Mockingbird” by Harper Lee, is an American classic, narrated by the young Scout Finch, the most engrossing character in the book. The novel is about the adventures of two siblings over the time of about three years. Jem and Jean Louise (Scout) Finch were two young siblings who one day met another young boy named Dill. Over time, Jem and Scout grow up under the careful watch of their father and friends, learning how to be adults.

Jem is a young boy that grows over the change of challenging situations and adversity that comes his way in the book. Jem is shown through Scout’s perspective in the book, which gives us an insight of how Jem changed through the eyes of one of his beloved’s. Over the course of the book, Jem goes through a great change in his life, which is puberty. Through the eyes of Scout, he is first shown to be childish, young, brave, filled with fear at the mention of Boo Radley after the situations they encountered. Though, as the story continues on, Scout’s perspective changes on Jem and he is shown to be wise, mature, brave, understanding and still, her older brother. Although, the shift occurs when Jem is aging throughout the book and is shown to be aging with experience as he goes through challenging situations that change his perspective on the
