a major theme in To Kill a Mockingbirds the journey from youth and innocence to maturity and knowledge. How does Jem symbolize this theme in chapter 12? what evidence indicates that he is growing up and changing?

This is the chapter that Jem begins to notice things that young boys never pay attention to........ he wants Scout to act like a girl, he's interested in Cal's life and how she became the woman she is, he places money his father has given him in the offering............ none the less, he's also a moody, hormonal young man.
