A reflective response to chapters 9-11. A few weeks have passed since Mrs Dubose died and Jem has had some time to think about the events of the last few months. In role as Jem, write a response in which you reflect on these events and what they mean.
Jem: I hate her so much. She was stubborn, and inconsiderate, and I actually really enjoyed reading to her, even though she never listened to what I was saying. I sort of liked her near the end, but I would never want anybody else to know.
It's been pretty hectic these last few months. I've been very moody lately, and I'm glad Atticus and Calprica were able to keep Scout out of my hair. I just find her so annoying. I do feel sorry though, she is such a nice girl.
Back to Mrs Dubose, she was sweet, and she grows on you. I believe the main reason why I seemed so mean to her was because Scout was. It was just like peer pressure.
I know Mrs Dubose really liked me, why else would she give me that box? The flower was there to remind me that when things get tough, don't take it out on someone, or something. Calm down. Take time out to become one with nature, get a better view of life from a better perspective.
I know I have done some odd things these past few months, and some I'm not that happy about, but its my life, and I have the power to let it grow into something beautiful, or watch it wither and die.
