Although Atticus did not think of it as very courageous, Jem and Scout were proud of their father and the courage he showed in the situation. He was not trying to prove anything, yet they were still impressed. Later on in the story, Jem and Scout encounter the vindictive Mrs. Dubose. "Your father's no better than the niggers and trash he works for!" (Chapter 11, Page 113) When she bad- mouthed Atticus like that, Jem decided that the best way to settle things was to ruin Mrs. Dubose's camellias.
Calpurnia plays an important role when Jem begins to mature very quickly, she explains to Scout what is happening to him and tells her why he doesn’t want to play any more. Scout becomes closer to Cal during this time as she goes and sits in the kitchen with her when she is bored and Cal tries her best to find something to entertain her. When Atticus is away he trusts Calpurnia to take care of his two children, showing the children, whether or not they realise it, that what white people say about black people being untrustworthy is not necessarily true as Atticus would trust Cal with his life. She takes them to her church
Both the texts are themed around a character who is discriminated against. The Black Balloon explores empathy through role of Tom Mollison a young 16 year old boy forced to take on more responsibility when his mother falls pregnant. Maggie: “He's your brother!Thomas” Mollison: “He's a freak!” Maggie:” Your brother will never be able to do the things you will. He'll never go to work or start a family, so we have to look after him. He's staying with us forever.” This quote is near the beginning of the movie when Tom has just met a girl named Jackie who he really likes.
Although Atticus didn’t win the trail, he showed courage by trying. Boo is the next person to show courage. Since he was a teen Boo, Arthur Radley, was locked up in his house because of something he had done. Through the book he began to watch Scout and Jem. He gave them gifts with hints that he was watching them and that he was their friend, but Jem and Scout didn’t understand the gifts until the end of the book when he saves them from being killed.
Scout and her brother even play games about him using him as the boogieman. As Scout matures she begins to realize hat Boo is not much different than Tom. He is perceived the way the townspeople have create him to be, no who he really is as a human being. Boo saves the children. Scout comes to realize that he is gentle and not the violent creature the townspeople has represented him to be.
No parent wants to see their children go out into the world exposed to its dangers, but parents also know that they can’t always be there to protect them. Although Atticus accepts this idea, he loves his children, Scout and Jem, with all his heart. Atticus believes that everyone is equal despite their outside appearance. “You never really know a person until you consider things from his point of view—until you climb into his skin and walk around in it,” he said. Most people judge only from what is on the exterior instead of trying to make sense of how different people see things differently under various circumstances.
I hid behind the door because I didn't want anyone to see me. When scout got home she was telling Atticus all about Bob attacking Jem and "someone" saving him and taking him home but but the "someone" was someone she had never seen him before. Atticus interrupted "Who saved Jem?" Soon she saw me behind that door and told her dad "why don't you just ask him yourself."
Scout was too young to really feel the despair Jem does, so she is not as affected. She continues to wonder about her mother, because she can see how much her brother misses her. The emotional courage Jem shows may inspire Scout by showing her that crying is not a bad thing. Papa in “Papa Who Wakes Up Crying in the Dark” and Jem in To Kill a Mockingbird both express emotional courage when they show their sadness at the loss of family. People shouldn’t be afraid to show emotion; It is what makes each of us unique, after all.
The students should know exactly what to expect from you and feel comfortable in knowing that you are always going to be consistent. You do not know what types of situations that students are coming from at home and this may be the only constant in their lives. Take the time to learn your students.

As Scout and Jem walk home in darkness, Scout feels petrified. Jem then notices Scout’s emotions and comforts her, Scout says to herself: “Jem was becoming almost as good as Atticus at making you feel right when things went wrong” (347).

Jem accepts the role of older brother and recognizes that he must be like his father if he wants to take care of his
