Jem Finch is a playful, curious, and 

smart boy. Only nine years old, he plays 

with his sister, Scout, and their best 

buddy, Dill, on a daily basis. 

Jem never says no to a dare. One day, 

Dill comes up with an idea to leave the 

neighborhood "monster," Boo, a note on 

their back porch. 

Dill's idea did not work, and they 

end up almost getting shot by 

Nathan Radley, Boo's brother! 

Atticus demands that Jem and 

Scout stop pestering the 

Radley's. Because Jem is 

obedient to Atticus's wishes, he 

obeys. 

After that, Boo started attempting to 

communicate with Scout and Jem. He would leave 

them toys and trinkets in a knot of a tree near 

their house. Jem realized that Boo was not a 

monster, he was as innocent as a child. 

One day, Mr. Radley was filling the hole in the 

tree with cement.   As the gloom of being cut off 

from his mysterious friend lingered over him, 

Jem was heartbroken. 

As time drew on, Jem started to 

realize how the world worked, how 

not everything was fair or right. 

His father, Atticus, was to defend 

a black man, Tom Robinson, against 

charges of a white women and her 

father, Bob Ewell.

This meant that no matter how 

innocent Tom was, the white, 

racist, jury would find him guilty 

and sentence him to death.

Atticus did all he could to help 

Tom, but he knew they wouldn't 

win their case.

That night, Atticus had to go down to 

city square. He took nothing with him 

but a book, a light, and a chair. 

Jem started to get a strange feeling, 

like Atticus was in danger. He sneaked 

past his Aunt to go check on Atticus 

downtown. Scout woke up and she 

followed him with Dill.
