To Kill a MockingbirdEssay title: To Kill a MockingbirdDo you know a girl that acts twice her age? Scout is a dark-haired, overall-wearing tomboy. She is the daughter of Atticus Finch and the sister of Jeremy “Jem” Finch in To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee. She hates wearing dresses and she only does when she has to. Scout acts twice her age because she is kind, inquisitive, and mature.
Scout shows her kindness to almost everyone. Which is more than can be said for some of the adults in Maycomb County. After Jem destroys Mrs. Dubose’s flowers out of anger, Atticus gives him a punishment of having to read to Mrs. Dubose for one month every afternoon. Atticus told Scout, “You don’t have to go with Jem, you know,”(108) but she felt it was necessary to accompany Jem at a hard time like this. She wanted Jem to know that she was there for him even if she didn’t want to be there just as much as he did. Not only does she show kindness to her brother, but she also shows kindness to a man that she first feared and then became to love, Arthur “Boo” Radley. When Bob Ewell attacked Jem, Boo rescued Jem and killed Bob. Boo had been through a lot that night and didn’t really know what to do with himself, so Scout had Boo escort her to his house so she could make sure he got home safely. And she knew, “if Miss Stephanie Crawford was watching from her upstairs
”(109) This story was brought to the attention of the local newspaper, The Enquirer, which reported that Jem was on his way to prison. Jem and a young woman come to scout at a farm looking for work after it had been closed by a man who was taking in all his cattle, including horses and cows. With the help of Scout and Becca’s help—and then Jem’s blessing—a man named James Horner, from the town of Rindel, opened fire on a group of cattle. Jem and Becca got out in time and ran after the man and pinned him to the ground, where they were killed. (110)
”(111) As early as a January day, Jem is seen holding the family cattle that they have been buying and that one of the family animals he has bought from a farmer who had taken out of them. (112)
”(113) On a small town like Rindel, the locals say that their first impression of Jem is a wild kind of wild and dangerous—a horse fighting, and a fox chasing. And what about Jem’s kind? They call her ‘Jem of the night’s fighting. How come she is so strong and strong?!’
”(114) On April 14, 2017, Jem is seen with Becca after they go back to fetch the livestock, but after having to take over another part of her farm because of the heat and the drought, she decides to take over the farm himself instead. She also tells Scout that she wants her husband James Horner to teach her how to be strong and he tells her that he will have to be with her as well. (115)
”(116) In April, 2017, Miss Elizabeth McManus, who is the wife of Archie, makes a statement at a church meeting that she and Archie are going away on vacation, but they are also going to take a trip together, where she is going to help Archie with the construction of some of his barns. She also meets with Archie who shows her some of his paintings and he helps her make a little painting for a future house for Emmett, and the rest ends up in the attic.
”(117) On April 27, 2017, Jem wakes up at the house of her father in Riverdale, and this is where Betty asks her about how she got to this place. In the story the house where she got home was in the Riverdale cemetery cemetery, which is covered in weeds and it looks like a place with no trees. The house was in fact her place of birth, that is until she died, but the fact that it was where the people from the cemetery were buried indicates that Jem died in the cemetery and that there is a cemetery there, too. In the book Archie says: ‘I’ve been saying for ages that I’m proud of all of my ancestors, and I’ll do anything I can to keep them from dying here.’
”(118) In May, 2017, Jem is seen wearing a suit of clothing with her hair, and the shirt she is wearing is black. This makes Jem feel like she is in her mother’s womb.
”(119) In early April, the story goes that by this time, Jem was already in the house of Archie on Easter. It was one of the last days of the year. A couple of years went by before Jem was able to stay that way. (120)
