 * 2 || Jem was seldom self conscious about his injury || The reader now interprets Jem to be a very strong character. || Jem now seems tough and brave. || Strength and resilience ||
 * 16 || Not waiting to see if his foray was successful, Dill and I followed on his heels || - || It shows that Jem is a leader while Dill and Scout follow in his footsteps || Leadership ||
 * 21 || “ I know what we are going to play he announced” “Something new, something different” “what?” asked Dill “Boo Radley” || Jem repeats the word something which shows mystery and interest in the reader || The audience now interprets Jem to be daring and to be a natural leader. The Boo Radley game shows again that Jem is very brave but also that he is not very educated on things such as this and that he is disrespectful. It shows how he does not respect that Boo Radley is a person as well and he does not respect this fact. || Daring and leadership ||
 * 25 || Jem said ‘“Our daddy is a friend of your daddy’s” Scout here she’s crazy – She won’t fight you anymore.”’ || Using daddy to make it seem more child like || This interprets Jem to be a very kind character, but also that he holds some resentment to scout. || Kindness, innocence, ‘a grudge’ ||
 * 21 || ‘Jem threw open the gate and sped to the side of the house, slapped it with his palm and ran back past us’ || Exaduration to make it seem as if what Jem has done is larger than what it actually is || This shows that Jem is very brave and daring. But this also shows that he is impulsive and not level headed. This is later reflected in the book and displays how he is so innocent. This also displays Jem as a person who is very confident in his abilities. || Daring, confidence, impulsive ||
 * 14 || “Wonder what he does in there?” ‘Boo Radley’ || Foreshadowing || We learn that he is very curious about the unknown and that he is willing to face danger. We also learn about the spark that makes him want to know more about Boo Radley. Also how Naive he is to think that later down the road he will not expect serious consequences. || Naivety, innocence ||

- physical description - behaviour and personality - body language and facial expression habits || Example: He said Atticus never talked much about the Radleys: when Jem would question him Atticus’s only answer was for him to mind his own business and let the Radleys mind theirs’
