When a reader understands the history during the time of the novel he or she would understand that this was during the era of the Jim crow laws, and that the black community was segregated and discriminated. An example to further prove this is when during the trial light toned people sat on the first floor in pews or benches, while dark toned people were sitting in the second floor balcony.…

    Jem instructs Scout to leave an innocent insect alone because it's defenseless and it hasn't done anything to her.

Therefore, Jem has become more compassionate. Scouts then thinks back about Dill who recounted to her when he and Jem accompanied Atticus to announce to Helen that her husband had died.…

But, not every child goes through the same levels and stages at the same time —each one is different — neither go through them in order nor all the stages side by side.…
