Write a summary if you can about to kill a mocking bird. one way to demonstrate understanding of character and theme is by writing from the perspective of a character. for this assignment, compose a short poem from the perspective of jem. your poem should detail his feelings about either a. his father, atticus or b. mrs. dubose. the poem must accurately trace the progression of jem's attitudes and beliefs, highlighting the important events and shifts in his perspective detailed above. your writing should also sound like jem, using voice and word choice that reflects the voice and word choice found in the novel. the poem can be a free poem (meaning it does not need to rhyme or follow a particular format). it should be a minimum of twenty-lines in length, have a title, and follow conventional rules of spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

Jem ages from 10 to 12 or 13 (i dont exactly remember) over the course of To Kill a Mockingbird. Interestingly, the changes he undergoes are seen from the point-of-view of a younger sister, which gives a unique perspective on his growth. Jem represents the idea of bravery in the novel, and the way that his definition changes over the course of the story is important. The shift that occurs probably has as much to do with age as experience, although the experiences provide a better framework for the reader.
   When the story begins, Jem's idea of bravery is simply touching the side of the Radley house and then only because "In all his life, Jem had never declined a dare." But as the story progresses, Jem learns about bravery from Atticus facing a mad dog, from Mrs. Dubose's fight with addiction, and from Scout's confrontation with the mob at the jail, among others. And along the way, he grows from a boy who drags his sister along as a co-conspirator to a young gentleman who protects his Scout and tries to help her understand the implications of the events around her.

PEOM:
No, sir AtticusI am not leaving I am not like a beaver, who runs and hides In the sight of danger Who am I, you may ask A boy who is older, and so much bolder I will stick by your side Atticus Sitting in that court room Everything came to me in a rush And boom He is crushed Why Dad, can they do that I’m so mad Now I see how people treat people Dog eat dog around here I can’t bear it

Jem changed through out the story and jem had his ups and downs with atticus...

hope that helped
