Miss Maudie usually makes small cakes for the children, so her giving Jem a slice of the big cake symbolises that he is no longer a child and is becoming a man. This is shown in the quote "We understood when she cut from the big cake and gave a slice to Jem".

This is shown in the quote "We understood when she cut from the big cake and gave a slice to Jem". I agree with this. The larger slices of cake were previously only given to adults, so by giving him one Miss Maudie recognises that Jem is becoming a man. |

Ms Maudie giving Jem a big piece of cake means that she is recognising that he is becoming an adult. I agree as Jem (and Scout and Dill) previously would smaller pieces of cake because they were children. |

Ms Maudie giving Jem a big piece of cake means that she is recognising that he is becoming an adult. This shows that Miss Maudie is recognising the changes of Jem. It proves that she is is observant and does have that motherly influence on Jem. |

What does it symbolise when Miss Maudie gives Jem a slice from the big cake? Integrate a quote into your response. Miss Maudie usually makes small cakes for children, so giving Jem a slice from the big cake is significant, as that means she views him to be growing up. A quote to support this is "We understood when she cut from the big cake and gave a slice to Jem". |

I agree, she probably recognises the responsibilities he takes on when he has to take care of Scout, which shows maturity in his age. |

What does it symbolise when Miss Maudie gives Jem a slice from the big cake? Integrate a quote into your response. Miss Maudie giving Jem a piece of the larger cake symbolises the transition of Jem as a boy into a man. When she cuts him a piece "from the big cake and gave a slice to Jem", the other children take notice his step into manhood. |
