In these chapters Jem turns 12 years old. Scout and Jems relationship isn’t as good anymore because Jem doesn’t want to play with Scout anymore. In chapter 11 Jem gets angry at Mrs.  Dubose for talking bad about Atticus and trashes her front yard. I personally don’t like Mrs. Dubose. When Atticus finds out he tells Jem that he has to apologize to her, he cleans up the mess he made and apologizes. Mrs. Dubose wants him to read to her everyday after school. He reads to her everyday but everytime he goes he goes home a little bit early. Turns out that she was a morphine addict and she was trying to break her addiction. Even though she had a morphine doesn’t  mean she has the right to trash talk Atticus.
