One month. It had to be once a week too. Do you know if he read for an hour once a week? or was it longer.
Jem has to read to Mrs. Dubose for two hours every afternoon for a month as his punishment in "To Kill a Mockingbird."
The agreement made between Jem and Mrs. Dubose is for him to read once a week for one whole month.
5 weeks it was originally a month but Mrs. Dubose said, "one more week" and Atticus told Jem to go for another week
He reads for one month and a week.
She punishes him by making him read to her.
read to her
punishment for ruining mrs. duboses flowers?? He has to read to mrs. dubose everyday after school.
Mrs. Dubsoe thinks Jem is a troublemaker.
Jem destroyed all of Mrs. dubose's camellias with Scout's baton because he was mad at her for making fun of Atticus. Jem reads to Mrs. Dubose because Atticus punishes him by telling him to go to Mrs. Dubose and apologize for what he has done. Mrs. Dubose tells him in order to make up the mess he created, he has to read to her everyday for 5 weeks.
Jem committed to reading to Mrs. Dubose every day for a month as a way to atone for destroying her camellia bushes. This task was challenging as Mrs. Dubose was ill and had a difficult temperament, but Jem persevered to fulfill his commitment.
Jem destroyed Mrs. Dubose's camellia and snow-on-the-mountains with Scout's newly bought baton. He is later punished by having to read to Mrs. Dubose everyday. :)
Jem Finch
Jem's punishment was that he had to read to Mrs. Dubose every week.He learned about her morphine addiction,and was very sad for making fun of her and being rude to her because she was actually quite nice.In the end,Mrs. Dubose dies,and leaves Jem the candy box that was in her home,and inside was one of the flower tops that had grown back after Jem had cut all the tops off.Jem had to read to Mrs. Dubose after school everday and on Saturday. He had to do for two hours and for one month.
Jem is ordered by his father, Atticus, to read to Mrs. Dubose as punishment for damaging her camellias. This punishment not only teaches Jem about empathy and understanding but also helps Mrs. Dubose with her morphine addiction.
He cut the tops of her flowers off
Jem took Scout's baton and chopped the tops of all Mrs. Dubose's camellia bushes. Then he snapped Scout's baton in half.
