Chapter 6 - Maturity of Jem

There are two reasons as to why I named this chapter "Maturity of Jem"

Reason 1:

Jem's increasing maturity is shown when he deals with the matter of getting his trousers back. There were two reasons why Jem decided to go back to the Radley place to get his trousers. The first reason was pride. Jem has never been beaten by Atticus before and did not want to get beaten now. Another reason was because of consideration. Jem did not want to give Atticus a reason for beating him. Jem being able to consider this two factors shows his increasing maturity.

Reason 2:

Jem's increasing maturity is also shown in his courage. It takes a lot of courage for Jem to go back to the Radley place. Moreover, he went back during the night, where there was an increased risk of getting shot by Nathan Radley as people cannot see clearly in the dark.
