Jem is a protective brother who tries his best to take care of Scout and offers her advice at different times throughout the novel. Jem is often selfless and does not hesitate to share with Scout. He also offers Scout words of encouragement when she is upset or uncertain and prevents her from getting into several arguments with Aunt Alexandra. Toward the beginning of the novel, Jem includes Scout in many of his games and offers her explanations to things that she doesn't quite understand. Overall, Jem is a morally upright child, who wishes to become like his father. Jem follows in Atticus's footsteps and develops into a tolerant, understanding individual, who is willing to go to extreme lengths to protect innocent, defenseless beings. Jem is also a loyal son and refuses to go home when his father is surrounded by the Old Sarum bunch. Jem matures into a well-behaved child with integrity and sympathy for others.
