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.
Jem realized that they finally caught sight of the man Boo Radley whom they had been obsessed with encountering. He was overwhelmed by the realization that Boo Radley was real and that they had just witnessed him in person.
To Jem, the fact that Atticus has never whipped him signifies his father's belief in using reason and understanding to discipline him. It demonstrates Atticus's respect for his children's intelligence and his commitment to teaching them through positive reinforcement rather than physical punishment. Jem views this as a reflection of his father's patience, trust, and guidance.
Jem destroys Mrs. Dubose's camellia flowers in a fit of anger after she insults Atticus. As punishment, Jem is required to read to Mrs. Dubose every day, which is meant to teach him discipline and empathy. Through this experience, Jem learns about courage and forgiveness.
Mrs. Dubose makes Jem read to her everyday after school. Scout usually sat with him during these times. Jem probably felt that is wasn't a fair punishment at the time, but he is genuinely helping Mrs. Dubose. She was a morphine addict and as he read, she gradually stopped taking the morphine. When she died later on in the book, Atticus told Jem that he had helped her die happy.
