Many people have different ideas why Jem did not want Scout to kill it. But here's a popular one that I heard around the class.

"Jem became more sensitive with because he has a new perspective after the Tom Robinson case."

But...it could also be one of the symbolism of the mockingbird. The roly-poly is innocent and never did any wrong-doing...just like the mockingbird. ^ - ^
