Nataly [62]

Answer:

Methods of characterization become even more important when the author needs to show a character's growth. Let's take a look at Atticus' son, Jem Finch. Jem grows from a game-playing child to a mature teenager questioning and struggling with the hypocrisies of the adults around him. His actions and words show the evolution of his maturity.

At first, Jem perpetuates the rumors and superstitions surrounding the Radley household:

Jem gave a reasonable description of Boo: Boo was about six-and-a-half feet tall, judging from his tracks; he dined on raw squirrels and any cats he could catch, that's why his hands were bloodstained - if you ate an animal raw, you could never wash the blood off.

In telling Atticus that Dill has run away from home, Jem shows the ability to weigh the consequences of a secret:

Dill's eyes flickered at Jem, and Jem looked at the floor. Then he rose and broke the remaining code of our childhood. He went out of the room and down the hall. 'Atticus,' his voice was distant, 'can you come here a minute, sir?' [...] Jem was standing in a corner of the room, looking like the traitor he was. 'Dill, I had to tell him,' he said. 'You can't run three hundred miles off without your mother knowin'.

Finally, Jem shows maturity in critically thinking about the underbelly of prejudice:

If there's just one kind of folks, why can't they get along with each other? If they're all alike, why do they go out of their way to despise each other? Scout, I think I'm beginning to understand something. I think I'm beginning to understand why Boo Radley's stayed shut up in the house all this time... it's because he wants to stay inside.

kondaur [170]
Limericks and haiku's have some qualities that they share but these two forms of poetry are very different. Haiku's are a from of traditional Japanese poetry, unlike Limerick's origin which is unknown. They are both similar though because each of these forms of poetry have evolved throughout the years and can be used to express, most commonly, feeling towards nature. A haiku's format is much different then any type of poetry, it consists of 3 lines, the firs and last lines of a haiku's only have 5 syllables while the middles line has seven, they generally do not rhyme. Limericks format consist of 5 lines and his usually humorous,  <span>The first, second, and fifth lines must have seven to ten syllables while rhyming and having the same verbal rhythm. The third and fourth lines only have to have five to seven syllables, and have to rhyme with each other and have the same rhythm. These two forms are similar in another way, as you can see both of the forms consist of a specific amount of syllables in their lines, although they do not have the same amount needed. Limericks and Haiku are all forms of poetry but poetry is very diverse and similar at the same time!
