How does Jem change in To Kill a Mockingbird?

Answer 1

They mature throughout the book. EG, at the start of the book Jem believes in childish superstitions like hot steam but at the end of the book, he feels that it is not true. Both Jem and Scout regard Boo Radley as a monster but towards the end of the book, they are no longer afraid of him and at the end, they realize that he is a shy man. In fact, they find out that he is also a "mockingbird".

Or

The change occurs because Jem is going through puberty and now is trying to use the knowledge he gains. He is seeing things differently as he ages and acts more like an adult that a child. He is taken to reading instead of playing childish games. He even goes so far as to tell on Scout.

Answer 2

Jem changes in the book from being a boy to becoming a man. He once believed that everybody was good and didn't posses the capability of being evil. That changes after Tom's trial and Jem realizes that what he once believed isn't completely true but he decides that he still believes in the goodness of human nature.

Answer 3

scout and jem gradually start to mature in the novel in varies stages.
