Scout notices that jem, who has turned 12 at the beginning of ch 12, has changed. describe how jem is different. how has the relationship between the siblings changed?

Once he became 12 years old, Jem began to ditch his childish ways , even at times scolding Scout for disturbing his life. This change would lead him to be more interested in the concerns of the adults, spending more time alone and away from Scout.

The relationship of the siblings changed drastically and so suddenly that Scout did not seem to understand it. She finds it unfair and unacceptable that Jem is behaving so different in such a short time. She wished that someone would "beat him up" for the way he's acting with her and telling her to mind her own business and leave him alone.  

Explanation:

In Chapter 12 of Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird, the narrator "Scout" directly states that "Jem was twelve", meaning he's grown up. She also mentions that "He was difficult to live with, inconsistent, moody. His appetite was appalling, and he told me so many times to stop pestering him" which seemed to greatly disturb or rather annoy her.

This change in Jem, which Calpurnia termed as him becoming "Mister Jem", changed the siblings' relationship for Jem began to think less about their childish games and more into the 'adult' life. Calpurnia also told Scout that he's "gonna want to be off to himself a lot now, doin’ whatever boys do", thus leaving Scout to entertain herself all alone without Dill. This hurt Jem for she had always had Jem as a play partner and in everything they do. Now, she's left alone to play in her own childish world while Jem begins to act and get interested more into the adult world. But for Scout, this change is something that she finds unacceptable, for Jem "acquired an alien set of values and was trying to impose them on me". This change in their relationship led Scout to spend her summers more with Calpurnia in the kitchen.  

the play romeo and juliet was one of the most famous love tragedies ever written. this love story unfortunately had a fatal ending. many people argue over why the lovers had died, was it over free will or fate?  

the death of romeo and juliet was partially because of free will. the fact that romeo and juliet got married knowing that there was a bitter feud between their families, the montague and capulet’s. this feud brought on many problems, such as the murder of tybalt by romeo. juliet knew that this might be a problem for her and romeo. juliet had said: “what’s in a name”? which explains her ill fate of being a capulet and romeo being a montague. when romeo tells his servant “ ay, mine own…show more content…

i believe they had died over the love they had for each other, strong enough that their lives could end so suddenly if something horrible had come between them, and that was exactly how it happened. this tragedy occurred within five days of the two meeting, they experienced love at first sight, got married and quickly were dead. free will became a part of this when juliet decided to take friar laurence’s advise in inhaling a potion that will make people assume she is died but will awake in 42 hours prier to when she took it. when romeo had heard the news that juliet was dead, he assumed it was true, and responded with the line; “well juliet, i will lay with thee tonight”. to me this line indicated how he feels for juliet by dying in her will. the fact that free will didn’t take control of the story; it left fate to be the murder of the lovers. fate first kicked in when their eyes met at the capulet party. when romeo and juliet spoke, their words had powerful contentment; they had such a strong feeling for one another that they could lay in each other’s arms forever. their happiness didn’t last long; there were many reasons for this, for example; the marriage lord capulet arranged between paris and juliet. i believe that the plot of the play thus far leads the audience to believe that the deaths were a result of fate. the last act will determine once and for all if it is fate or free will. romeo again challenges fate.
