Even though Jem showed some rashness and also, sometimes failed to consider the consequences of some of his actions, he managed to handle his emotions and turned a possible violence to keeping to himself. In terms of his physical appearance, he tolerated his appearance and remained extremely optimistic. Normally, Jem had always been very matured and was full of knowledge. He cared for others' feelings and understood others.
There was a few cases when Jem may have made the situation undesirable, however, through his tolerance, he managed to not do so even though he still expresses his thoughts. He was the one who was dealt with the greatest impact upon the unfairness of the society as he had just learnt and understood about it. And very soon, Jem was forced to face this reality.
Jem is very much influenced by father, Atticus, in which he always upholds justice. What Jem had experienced can be traumatic and complicated for a child of his age. His witness that justice does not always prevail may have changed his thoughts about justice since he was at such an age. However, his still admirably keeps to his commitment in justice. From the example: “Jem refuse to allow Scout harm a roly poly bug” showed that Jem keeps his commitment to protect the fragile and harmless, even when the victim is not someone or something he likes.
