Answer:

<h3>When they understood and learned more about the lives of Calpurnia, Boo Radley and Tom Robinson.</h3>

Explanation:

  • Scout and Jem began to see life from other people's perspective when they understood and learned more about the lives of Calpurnia, Boo Radley and Tom Robinson.

  • Secondly, Scout and Jem realized that Boo was not as bad as they thought to be. They realized that they were wrong in their judgement and that Boo Radley was, in fact, a good person.
  • And finally when Scout understood what life was like for Tom Robinson, Scout realized that the society where she lived was corrupted and evil. After learning more about the lives of Calpurnia, Boo Radley and Tom Robinson, Scout and Jem become more mature and understanding than they were before.
