Powerful Enough To With Stand Jem
232 words
Personally, I do not find Jem very bad or very
good but I do find him kind of powerful. I placed
Jem in the Neutral Square for good or weak because
he is not a perfect child. In the story he tries

why Atticus is pursuing this trial. In a sense Jem
is powerful....
