Maturity is a flower that doesn’t grow in everyone's garden. Take me for example, in first grade I would chase the people and give them hugs on the playground every recess.

Over the course of the book “To Kill a Mockingbird,” Jem Finch changes from a boy into a young man by developing a feeling of empathy and developing a sense of maturity.
Over the course of To Kill a Mockingbird Jem changes from a boy into a young man by, developing a feeling of empathy. It's clear that Jem gained a sense of empathy especially after the case was over. “When we left the courthouse, Jem started to cry. His face was streaked with angry tears as we made our way through the cheerful crowd. ‘It ain’t right,’ he muttered.” This is showing how much he has opened his eyes to maycomb’s usual disease, racism; He feels so cheated that Tom was convicted even though he was innocent. Another place Jem shows empathy is in chapter eight after the fire at Miss.Maudie's house is dealt with. Atticus suggests going back to the Radley's house to return the blanket Boo had given scout. “Looks like all of Maycomb was out tonight, in one way or another. Jem, there's some wrapping paper in the pantry, I think. go get it and we’ll--’ Jem responds with a quick, ‘no sir!” (95).

This shows how much Jem has opened his eyes up to what the real world is like therefore making him more mature. Another Key point is when he got mad at scout for mentioning the case again. “Jem was suddenly furious.

In like manner Jem shows maturity when he is so excited to try out for the football team. “Coach said if I can gain twenty five pounds by next year I can play!” (330). This show he is maturing into a stereotypical young man who love
