Something about cognitive dissonance. He believed that they were going to win the case, and it was nearly obvious so that they would win the case, yet they lost. Also, coming from another perspective, he sides with his father about this case and his father believes Tom is an innocent man, which in turn Jem believes out of the fact that he wants to act like Atticus. Since they grew up in a less racially discriminative enviroment, being raised by Atticus and all, they're possibly more vulnerable to these kind of racial discrimintory acts, especially when the case was more clear cut in Tom Robinson's favor, and not favoring the Ewells.
Jem is deeply affected by Tom's killing, feeling a sense of injustice and disillusionment about the world. He struggles to make sense of the racial prejudice and unfairness that led to Tom's death, causing him to question the morality of society.
Jem is sad about the verdict and about Tom's death. He doesn't even like it when Scout tries to kill the rollie pollie. Jem believes that Tom didn't do anything for him to die. Remember, "it's a sin To Kill a Mockingbird".
Jem is broken hearted because he couldn't begin to understand such injustice that had taken place before him.
The jury does not look at Tom and he knows they never look at the person they have convicted.
she was really upset
.
amazed
shocked!
at the pagaent Bob Ewell was waiting on scout and jem to try and kill both of them and didnt suceed on killing them
Atticus doesnt have many flaws but atticus lies to jem and blames jem for killing bob ewell.
Jem is shocked and disturbed by Nathan Radley's actions when he fills the knothole with cement. Jem feels betrayed and hurt by this act of deception.
Others in Maycomb generally view Jem with respect because he is seen as a well-behaved and responsible young man. He is also admired for his bravery and calm demeanor during challenging situations. Overall, Jem is held in high regard by his community.
RIP English
Jem helps Dill to get cleaned up and takes him back to the Finch house, where they listen to Dill's story about how he ran away from home.
According to Dill, Tom's wife didn't react much to the news of Tom's death. She simply looked up from her stitching and nodded. This lack of emotional response suggested that she had already accepted the inevitability of Tom's fate in the oppressive society they lived in.
It doesn't really say. Boo was too busy saving Jem. But Boo seemed to care about him enough to stay around to make sure he was okay...
