Examples Of How Jem Mature In To Kill A Mockingbird

Jem really matured of the course of the book. In To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Jem is a dynamic character because he experiences change in the book.

I think you could actually use the idea that his bravery proves he has become more mature at the end of the book than he was at the
