Aha Moment
“‘Dear sir,’ said Jem. ‘We appreciate the--no, we appreciate everything which you have put in the tree for us.’” It is conveying that Jem is maturing based on how he addressed the situation. He switches from thanking the person for the one gift that they received to thanking them for all of the gifts that the person has given him and Scout. This indicates that he is maturing because he starts to focus on the broader picture of all the gifts that they have been given, not just the one present.
