He cut the flowers off her bushes.
because mrs. dubose said that atticus "lawed for n word"
He cut up her hedges and broke scouts baton
Ms. Dubose made Jem read to her and fix her camellias. Ms. Dubose also had a morphine addiction which also frightened Jem when he went to go read to her. After Ms. Dubose passed away, she sent a perfect, waxy camellia to Jem which he took as her torturing him for all the pain he went through. Later on, Jem finds out that it is a symbol of courage.
Jem took Scout's baton and chopped the tops of all Mrs. Dubose's camellia bushes. Then he snapped Scout's baton in half.
Jem attacks Mrs. Dubose's camellias in the novel "To Kill a Mockingbird." He destroys the flowers after Mrs. Dubose insults his father, Atticus. Jem later learns the reason behind Mrs. Dubose's behavior and the significance of his actions.
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.
He was not happy with Mrs. Dubose's comments on his father, Atticus. Mrs. Dubose had said that Atticus is no better than black people and the trash he works for. Trash meaning defending Tom Robinson, a black man. Jem became angered and forgets his promise to Atticus and later tore out the majority of the camellias and their leaves in the front yard.
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 has to go to Mrs Dubose's house and read to her every night. The reading sessions end with an alarm going off (later and later each session) and Mrs. Dubose having a fit.
He cut the tops of her flowers off
Jem is upset with Mrs. Dubose's racist comments towards his father, so he retaliates by destroying her flowers as an act of rebellion. Jem is trying to stand up for his family and assert his own sense of justice in response to Mrs. Dubose's bigotry.
