To Kill a Mockingbird Chapters 12,13 & 14

These three chapters show the age difference between Scout and Jem. Scout is still stuck in the stubborn young child age where she wants only what she wants and that's final. Jem is starting to grown up a lot and I find that interesting because you start to see Jem as more as an adult figure and no longer the same age as Scout. Scout is slowly understanding Jem is growing up but it takes time for her to know how to react. She doesn't understand why Jem changed so fast and since she is so little she blamed it on a worm disease which I thought was funny. Scout blaming it on a ringworm shows that she is unreliable because she doesn't know much about what is going on. Unreliable narrator continues as Aunt Alexandria moves in. When Atticus and Alexandria argue Scout is able to repeat parts but with uncertainty and gets lost in the conversation. This made the story difficult to understand at some parts.
