50 POINT AND BRANLY Demonstrating Understanding of Jem's Development One way to demonstrate understanding of character and theme is by writing from the perspective of a character. For this assignment, compose a short poem from the perspective of Jem. Your poem should detail his feelings about either a. his father, Atticus or b. Mrs. Dubose. The poem must accurately trace the progression of Jem's attitudes and beliefs, highlighting the important events and shifts in his perspective detailed above. Your writing should also sound like Jem, using voice and word choice that reflects the voice and word choice found in the novel. The poem can be a free poem (meaning it does not need to rhyme or follow a particular format). It should be a minimum of twenty-lines in length, have a title, and follow conventional rules of spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

Repetitive thoughts

From morning to morning, I wonder

Is this the freedom and fraternity that we have built?

Have we really evolved?

Or was evolution just biological and does not extend to social issues?

From childhood to youth

From youth to adulthood

Will I be able to honor the example you set for me?

You seem very fair to this world

Be able to not corrupt your teachings and practice justice

Even within injustice?

But you are so centered and incorruptible

An example to follow

But society corrupts us

and I don't know how to resist.

But I know what you told me

and admire you without blinking

But I feel lost

Hopeless to disclose.

Explanation:

Jem is a teenager. In addition to having to lead with the thoughts of adolescence that are already quite repetitive and contradictory, he has to deal with the thoughts he has in relation to society.

She believes that society is vile, prejudiced and unjust. he believes it is difficult not to be sucked into these thoughts and feels hopeless about his place in society and how not to be corrupted by it. However, he admires the position of his father Atticus, as an integral and correct person, he has his father as an example and is afraid of not being able to reach that level.

The poem was created to express these feelings.
