It is the chapter in which Jem and Scout’s life would change completely. There are a lot of events that evidently show their relationship in the third stage. Firstly, it is revealed at the end of the chapter that Aunt Alexandra would stay with them for a while. At the beginning of the chapter, Scout says, "Overnight, it seemed, Jem had acquired an alien set of values and was trying to impose them on me: several times he went so far as to tell me what to do. After one altercation when Jem hollered, "It's time you started being a girl and acting right!" I burst into tears and fled to Calpurnia, “(pg 97). This shows how mature he has become. He used to tell her before to stop acting like a girl, now he insists that she must act like one. It is apparent that Jem is becoming more wise and aware. Calpurnia even calls him ‘mister’, to Scouts utter surprise. Secondly, Jem gets Scout in his room, and tell hers to stop antagonizing Aunt Alexandra. So they get into a fight.

I believe that as the case goes further, they will be even closer. The more hardships they face and injustice they witness, they more they will become one. Brothers and sisters might drift apart, but they both know that they love each other at heart. They might not show it, but they are certainly linked at heart. “To the outside world we all grow old. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were. We know each other's hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We live outside the touch of time, Clara
