Differences between Jem and Scout?
Scout is a very unusual little girl, both in her own qualities and in her social position. She is unusually intelligent (she learns to read before beginning school), unusually confident (she fights boys without fear), unusually thoughtful (she worries about the essential goodness and evil of mankind), and unusually good (she always acts with the best intentions). In terms of her social identity, she is unusual for being a tomboy in the prim and proper Southern world of Maycomb. If Scout is an innocent girl who is exposed to evil at an early age and forced to develop an adult moral outlook, Jem finds himself in an even more turbulent situation. His shattering experience at Tom Robinson’s trial occurs just as he is entering puberty, a time when life is complicated and traumatic enough. His disillusionment upon seeing that justice does not always prevail leaves him vulnerable and confused at a critical, formative point in his life. Nevertheless, he admirably upholds the commitment to justice that Atticus instilled in him and maintains it with deep conviction throughout the novel. Jem is much more awareof his surroundings Scout is more adventurous and outgoing Jem thinks things through, while Scout jumps to conclusions, etc.
What factors influence our moral growth? What kinds of experiences help us learn how to judge the difference between right and wrong?
Oh god, what doesn’t? From the point that you can comprehend anything beyond personal discomfort you are morally influenced by your parents and circumstances. Take Scout and Jem; they are growing up in the rural south with a progressive father and no mother. They will likely be, as their father is, very understanding people. At about 10 years old your mind start valuing input from your peers over your elders so while you will likely keep the lain groundwork, most of your thoughts and opinions from that point will be the same or very similar to your friends. Any trauma along the way will effect you as well, and it’s not easy to pinpoint exactly how. Bullying made me callous but may make others sensitive, there are no sure outcomes that way.A great moral lesson in TKaM is when Jem is made to read to Mrs. Dubose. Making that act of kindness, even though it was against his will and he didn’t understand the depth of it until the end, would have made Jem a much more caring person and taught him not to take first glance as gospel.

How is Jem a dynamic character in the story to Kill a Mockingbird// hurry up 10 pts are waiting for you?
If Scout is an innocent girl who is exposed to evil at an early age and forced to develop an adult moral outlook, Jem finds himself in an even more turbulent situation. His shattering experience at Tom Robinson's trial occurs just as he is entering puberty, a time when life is complicated and traumatic enough. His disillusionment upon seeing that justice does not always prevail leaves him vulnerable and confused at a critical, formative point in his life. Nevertheless, he admirably upholds the commitment to justice that Atticus instilled in him and maintains it with deep conviction throughout the novel. Unlike the jaded Mr. Raymond, Jem is not without hope: Atticus tells Scout that Jem simply needs time to process what he has learned. The strong presence of Atticus in Jem's life seems to promise that he will recover his equilibrium. Later in his life, Jem is able to see that Boo Radley's unexpected aid indicates there is good in people. Even before the end of the novel, Jem shows signs of having learned a positive lesson from the trial; for instance, at the beginning of Chapter 25, he refuses to allow Scout to squash a roly-poly bug because it has done nothing to harm her. After seeing the unfair destruction of Tom Robinson, Jem now wants to protect the fragile and harmless. The idea that Jem resolves his cynicism and moves toward a happier life is supported by the beginning of the novel, in which a grown-up Scout remembers talking to Jem about the events that make up the novel's plot. Scout says that Jem pinpointed the children's initial interest in Boo Radley at the beginning of the story, strongly implying that he understood what Boo represented to them and, like Scout, managed to shed his innocence without losing his hope.
