2.1.1.1. Atticus is saying that he has faith in Jem because he has proved that he can problem solve and fix a sticky situation. He see's Jem as a smart boy that will go far, as shown when he says 'what'll become of you', as this talks about his future.
2.2. Growing up - Scout
2.2.1. 'His maddening superiority was unbearable these days. He didn't want to do anything but read and go off by himself.' (Page 152)
2.2.1.1. Half way through the book, Jem grows up and Scout doesn't really like the change, as he spends less time with her and they're tight-knight sibling friendship that is in the first half weakens. As he grows up he becomes more boastful of his knowledge and wants to show it off to Scout. Although he has 'maddening superiority' and might not want do things with Scout, he still loves her and would do anything to keep her safe, as shown in the scene with Mr Ewell (page 288 - run scout, run!)
2.3. Calpurnia
2.3.1. 'Don't you fret too much over Mister Jem -' she began. 'Mister Jem?' 'Yeah, he's just about Mister Jem now.' 'He ain't that old,' I said. 'All he needs is somebody to beat him up, and i ain't big enough.' ... 'I just can't help if Mister Jem's grown' up. He's gonna want to be off to himself a lot now, doin' whatever boys do,'
2.3.1.1. Calpurnia is explaining to Scout how Jem is growing up and that it's about time that he was called 'Mister Jem'. This highlights the time that the book is set, the way to address ladies was 'Miss' and 'Mrs'. Similarly, when boys grow up to a certain they are labled Mister until they are adult, when it changes to Mr or Dr. This quote shows how Scout doesn't want Jem to grow up because he's changes as he does. She also worries that they're friendship won't carry on into his teenage hood.
3. ACTS LIKE Lucy Moloney

Even with the slight danger that staying there could hold.

3.2.1.1. Even at the beginning of the novel, Jem shows his welcoming nature, and his treating of people equally. Despite Dill being seen as a 'peculiarity', he invites him over to play with him and Scout. On the first day back at school he invites Walter Cunningham over for dinner, even though or perhaps because of Scout taking a grudge towards him and beating him up.
3.3. Protective of Scout
3.3.1. Besides, Jem had his little sister to think of. When he said that, I knew he was afraid. Jem had his little sister to think of the time I dared him to jump off the top of the house: “If I got killed, what’d become of you?” (Page 15)
