In the realistic fictional novel,To Kill A Mockingbird, by Harper Lee we see a young boy named Jem living with his sister Scout, his father Atticus,who is a lawyer and their african american maid, Calpurnia. Jem is living through the Great Depression and lots of racism. Throughout the book we see how Jem slowly starts to mature and understand the racism of Maycomb.
Jem had been showing immaturity from the start of the story before perceiving Maycomb and its ways that had influenced the people of the county. For example, after Scout rolls in a tire and bumps into the Radley place, Jem states, “‘I know what we are are going to play’ ‘Boo Radley’”(Lee 51). Jem makes this game based on how he considers Boo Radley. All of the rumors about Boo gave Jem ideas to create the game.

Not being able to understand a person may change someone’s opinion of them. They misunderstand the person for who they were spoken of to be than who they really are. This situation can resemble Jem’s immaturity, from the start of the story for Boo and how he hasn’t seen Maycomb in Boo’s eyes. …show more content…
