Comparing me to Jem.

INSTRUCTIONS: Compare and contrast yourself to either Scout or Jem at their age. Compare and contrast your summer activities, friends, relationships with your dad, siblings, and adults.

Jem is one of my favorite characters in the book. He is always getting everyone into trouble, but would through his sister or Dill under a buss to keep from being yelled at. Unfortunately, I think that I can be like that some times, especially with my nephews. I guess that because your are older, you think that you're the responsible one, it just seems fit that the younger ones should be getting in trouble. Here are some other things that relate me to Jem.

In the summer, I always play pretend with my nephews, not go and play video games with kids my age. playing pretend is more fun because I get to act. We both want to be lawyers when we grow up, and me both have good relationships with our fathers. I think I sorta treat my nephews like Jem treats Scout and Dill, like little kids, like I'm the smart, elderly one, so I get to make all the rules. Also, when my niece is here, I sometimes don't play with her because me and the boys are playing boy games. I also have a lot of african american friends.

Some differences are that I still have both my parents, I don't have any younger siblings, I don't have a cook/maid/slave. I've never broken my arm, I don't live in the south, and I have a job. I think that Jem and me are alot alike. He is sly, mischeviouse, and unmistakably handsome. :)
