The Dr. Dhil Show

Jem’s relationship with Scout changes as he matures in the story. He goes from a fellow conspirator and playmate for his sister to her protector, resembling Atticus more and more with every chapter. In chapter 4, they are playing a game enacting what they perceive Boo Radley to be like. Atticus interrupts the game and inquires whether the game was about the Radley’s or not. Jem lies, saying no in response. In page 40, Scout yells in confusion and Jem remarks, “Shut up! He’s gone in the living room; he can hear us in there.” This shows his mischievous behaviour and the fact that he is still

Since Jem enjoys doing "manly" things, Scout does them as well for she does not know any better and she wants to gain Jem's respect for her. As time goes by, Jem starts to mature himself, from an irresponsible boy to a sensitive, gentlemen, Mister Jem; he is always Scout's adored older brother. As Scout gets older, her Aunt Alexandra decides to try and get Scout to act more like the Jean Louise that she wants her be. The only time that Aunt Alexandra was around for a long period of time was during the trial when she came to live with the Finches when Atticus was the lawyer for Tom. Even though she disagrees with her brother, Atticus, with his way of raising his children, especially Scout, who should be taught to be a lady believes that in time, she will "come around"

Before, Jem would always be Scout’s playmate but now he tells her to “stop pestering him” and that she should start “bein’ a girl and acting right”. Jem now likes to be kept alone and feels as if Scout is a lot more childish than he had realized.

Calpurnia also calls Jem “Mr.jem” because of the southern respect and because his is her “employer” She respects Jem because of his newfound character and his wants to emulate honesty , and character. Jem loses this his strong belief in justice When Atticus talks about losing the Tom Robinson case , Jems idealism is shattered by the reality of an adult racist society.

Jean Louis Finch, or as readers know her, Scout. Throughout the book Scout shows her courage by standing up for her father, Atticus. Francis calls Atticus a “N” lover after he heard Aunt Alexandra say it (110). Another way she shows courage, in chapter one when Dill and Jem try to get Boo to come out. She goes right along with them to

Jean Louise Finch, or otherwise known as Scout, is Atticus’s daughter who Atticus helps develop. In the scene where Scout doesn’t want to go to school because her new teacher is mean, Atticus says “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view – until you climb into his skin and walk around in it” (Lee 39). He tells Scout to pretend that she was in her teacher’s place. Her teacher is new and doesn’t know what the Maycomb ways so they can’t expect her to behave the same as the rest of the town. Scout keeps this in mind when her brother is being moody. “I tried to climb into Jem 's skin and walk around in it” (77). In this scene Scout gives Jem his space because if she had gone through what Jem had went through, she would have wanted to be alone. Then, in the

In the beginning of the novel, Scout acts masculine and is unable to stand being called a girl by Jem, creating a negative connotation with being a girl. “‘Scout, I’m tellin’ you for the last time, shut your trap or go home- I declare to the Lord you’re getting more like a girl every day!’ With that, I had no option but to join them” (Lee 69). To Jem, calling Scout a girl is insulting, and indicates uselessness and weakness. He stereotypes all

Through Scout’s curiosity, readers are shown that innocence is lost as a child. After Christmas at Finch’s Landing, Uncle Jack goes home with Scout, Jem, and Atticus. Uncle Jack tries to tell Scout how wrong she was but, she did not get the chance to tell her side of the story at first.“ ‘What did Francis call him?’ ‘A n----- -lover, I ain’t very sure what it means, but the way Francis said it -tell you one thing right now, Uncle Jack, I’ll be- I swear before God if I’ll sit there and let him say somethin’ about Atticus’ ” (Lee 98). By Scout telling Uncle Jack how she felt about people calling Atticus names, Scout later learns what the name means. She has a very good relationship with her father and knows that she can ask Atticus anything and obtain an honorable answer. By Atticus answering all of Scout’s questions, some of

Rickey Williams says, “I don’t think people change. I think the essence of what I am today is the same as when I was five years old. It’s just maturity.” (Ricky, Williams). In the novel, To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, the characters face many challenges in their society and experience lessons that made them different, than from the beginning of the book. Atticus, the father of Scout and Jem, is a lawyer in Maycomb County during the 1930’s. Atticus is given a special case where he has to defend a black man, which creates many problems for him and his family against their town, dealing with racism. In the novel Atticus, Scout, and Jem are all wise people that symbolize a mockingbird.

In the book, she is depicted as a tomboy. She first mentions her brother Jem, who is introduced in the story arguing against Scout about the events leading to Jem’s broken arm. Jem is a commanding type of boy. He is demonstrated throughout the story to have leadership qualities. Atticus, the father of Jem and Scout has the character of a righteous and virtuous man. He is shown to be a lawyer in the book. He is first recorded in the story in a flashback during which Scout explains how he attempted to convince his clients to plead guilty to second degree murder. She explains this because it shows a way how Atticus tries to do the right even when the standards are virtually

For example, together they work to try to convince Boo Radley to come out. Boo Radley is a man who lives on the same street as Scout and Jem and is described as a “half-human, half-monster” type of guy, and he is always inside his house. “Jem attached the note to the end of the fishing pole, let the pole out across the yard and pushed it toward the window he had selected.”(Lee 63), by trying to reel in a letter to Boo Radley they were just trying to help, and although it was unsuccessful, they still put in the effort. Along with that, Scout and Jem consistently defend their father, Atticus. When Atticus started defending Tom Robinson, a black man several people in Maycomb began calling him racist terms. Besides this Scout physically attacks her cousin after calling her father out for defending a black man. On a regular basis, these characters strive to make things fair for

Throughout the novel, Scout encounters various people she does not necessarily like. Her only young friends are her older brother Jem, and Dill, a boy who visits Maycomb during the summer. She spends most of her time with these two boys and does not associate with many girls. Therefore, Scout often wears

" To which he replies, " 'don't say [ni--ers] Scout. It isn't polite" (Lee 122). Although Scout realizes that Atticus has indirectly answered her question, she is still undecided as to whether or not she should subscribe to Maycomb's intolerance, since she is still quite impressionable, and contests Atticus's decisions. Furthermore, her impressionability, apart from its derivation from her gender, undoubtedly forces Scout and her generation to become the key towards social change, and right the wrong that injustice imposes upon various individuals. Scout's age and gender encumber her ability to form her own opinions throughout the novel. Yet, Atticus conveys the importance of morality and equality by demonstrating a level of acceptance towards his client and his client's ethnicity. It is not that Scout underestimates her father, but rather, that she is very young, perhaps too young, to understand his motive and the prejudice that is attached to his case. Likewise, the Finch's neighbor, Arthur "Boo" Radley, serves to teach Scout the harm in discrimination during three separate summers. Although Boo is made the subject of games that involve him as a murdering maniac, he becomes, "a compelling enigma […] that also represents Scout's most personal lesson in judging others based [solely] upon surface appearance" (Felty 299). For her entire life, Scout has always

Jem is young and carefree in the beginning of the novel. He is just starting to take on the responsibilities of an older brother: “Jem condescended to take me to school the first day, a job usually done by one’s parents, but Atticus said Jem would be delighted to show me where my room was.” (p.20). Atticus is trusting Jem to safely get Scout to school, and help her
