Jem is maturing
Jem does a lot of growing up in the book. At the beginning we see him, Scout, and Dill obsessed with their quest to get Boo to come outside. As Jem matures more, we see that he is starting to see Boo as a person, not just a myth they have been told about. At the end of chapter 6, Jem has found his pants roughly stitched up, lying over the fence for him. He begins to think Boo had a hand in doing this. When Jem and Scout start receiving gifts in the tree, Jem knows this is the way to communicate with the elusive Boo.
Big Brother. ✨
Scout’s brother and constant playmate at the beginning of the story. Jem is something of a typical American boy, refusing to back down from dares and fantasizing about playing football. Four years older than Scout, he gradually separates himself from her games, but he remains her close companion and protector throughout the novel. Jem moves into adolescence during the story, and his ideals are shaken badly by the evil and injustice that he perceives during the trial of Tom Robinson.
Your not my dad. 💁
In the beginning of the story , Jem showed very little respect for Atticus because he felt that Atticus was getting old and didn't want to do anything with Jem , but his attitude towards Atticus begin to change when Attitus shot the dog from a good distance , so he started to be there for Attitus and support him alot through the story .
Sisters Keeper.👫
Jem is clearly really protective over his sister through out the story , because scout looks up to Jem she wants to do everything he does so in the end of the story Jem was telling Scout to run home to get away. Jem looks out for Scout and—okay, we'll say it—kind of bosses her around. He definitely tries to get her to do what he, in his superior knowledge from being four years older, knows she should do. Asserting Scout's inferiority, as younger and a girl, appears to be one way that Jem boosts his own ego. The Boo Radley play-acting game starts out as one of these ego-boosts.
