Explain

<p> This question is looking for a quote from the novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" (since it involves the character Jem Finch, that’s the only book where this character appears) that best exemplifies Jem Finch's courage. We have four quotes hard to associated with traditional acts of courage:<br />1. "Jem's white shirt-tail dipped and bobbed like a small ghost dancing away to escape the coming morning." This quote refers to a scene perhaps with atmospheric presence but does not directly display Jem's courage. <br />2. "Atticus is a gentleman, just like me!" In this quote, Jem associates himself with his father Atticus, who is often seen as a very courageous person. However, the emphasis is more on Leo fintastic being a gentleman, which is not necessarily the same as being courageous. <br />3. "Atticus, you must be wrong..." comes from a quoted conversation where Jem might stand up and voice his perspective however jem’s apparent disagreement, it indicates his realise his father, Atticus, is incorrect on a certain point. Standing up to an authority or family when necessary is seen as a sign of courage. <br />4. "I swear, Scout, sometimes you act so much like a girl it's mortifyin'." Even though this is Jem being outspoken, it regards Scout's behavior rather than his own and does not display courage in relation to personal growth. <br />Courage in this context refers to reflect one’s bravery or independency or stength of personality. </p>
