Question

Why is "To Kill a Mockingbird" truly the story of Jem maturing more so than Scout?

Answer 1

Jem learns and understands the realities of the real world, while Scout doesn't understand what she is seeing.

Explanation:

In the book, Jem learns to understand what happens in the real world. At the very end of the book, he realizes that Boo Radley doesn't come outside not because he's a murderer being held there, but because he wants to. However, Scout never truly understands this concept, but doesn't question anything. Sorry if this is a garbage answer, I'm suuuppper tired
