Since I began reading “To Kill a Mockingbird”, I have realized that I have a lot in common with Jem Finch. We are similar because of many things, but specifically, because we are on the threshold ofmaturity, but there are some ideals that make us contrast. Throughout the novel I have identified myself with him because he has some characteristics that remind myself.

I will work on them with my ideals, which nobody can sabotage. I know who I am,and what I want with my future, family, friends, and religion. All the things I have lived throughout my life have made me a secure, confident person (unlike Jem).
