How does this quote show growth, "It was Jem's turn to cry. His face was streaked with angry tears as we made our way through the cheerful crowd. "It ain't right," he muttered, all the way to the corner of the square where we found Atticus waiting"?

Jem cares deeply about the Tom Robinson trial. He is no longer concerned with peeking at Boo Radley or playing games like Dracula. Jem is concerned about social justice issues. Unlike many white adults he can clearly see that Tom Robinson is innocent and the virdict is nothing more than bigotry and hate. Jem is mature enough to see the depths of inhumanity.
