She doesn't want to be judged. https://nowcomment.com/documents/194649?scroll_to=1818902 https://nowcomment.com/documents/194649?scroll_to=1818902 Mon, 20 Apr 2020 14:45:18 -0400 I agree, because while Atticus can be strict, he also cares very much for his kids, & to see Jem like that must made him realize how much he has been going through recently. He knew that focusing on the current situation was the best way to go about it. https://nowcomment.com/documents/186751?scroll_to=1761987 https://nowcomment.com/documents/186751?scroll_to=1761987 Fri, 03 Apr 2020 10:50:31 -0400 I think Jem was just getting exhausted. He was exhausted of keeping secrets and he didn't want to hold everything in anymore, so he finally caved. https://nowcomment.com/documents/186751?scroll_to=1761962 https://nowcomment.com/documents/186751?scroll_to=1761962 Fri, 03 Apr 2020 10:44:56 -0400 Earlier in the book, Atticus told Scout that "You never really understand a person until you see things from their point of view. Until you climb in their skin and walk around in it." Scout is trying to use this advice to figure out what's wrong with Jem. https://nowcomment.com/documents/186751?scroll_to=1761909 https://nowcomment.com/documents/186751?scroll_to=1761909 Fri, 03 Apr 2020 10:40:24 -0400
