Jem is very angry with the way the trial turned out. He understood and was more matured than scout so he felt really awful about the verdict. He said it wasn't fair or right and felt strongly about that.
Ch.24- The big event that happens in this chapter is the death of Tom Robinson. While in jail, Tom made a run for it and tried to escape by climbing over the fence. The guards shouted at him to stop and gave warning shots, but he did not stop. The guards then shot him seventeen times and killed him.
Jem is extremely effected by the verdict. I agree that he doesn't think it is fair or right. In his eyes, Tom is not guilty and he can't understand why others don't feel the same way. He also doesn't like that his dad lost. It is difficult for a child to see his parent fail and this hurts Jem.
Kate,
I agree with you that Jem is more mature than Scout and Dill. I believe that he is struggling with the reality that the people in his town are not perfect, and that their prejudice has cost Tom Robbinson his life.
