What does it symbolise when Miss Maudie gives Jem a slice from the big cake? Integrate a quote into your response.

Miss Maude gives Scout and Dill the small cakes she has baked separately as they don't have to share. She cuts a slice for Jem from the large cake that the adults share, showing Gem is now wiser and more mature. Symbolising the coming of age, Gem has gone from adolescence to adult and understands the trial better. Scout narrates, "There should've been three little ones... But we understood when she cut from the big cake and gave the slice to Gem."

But we understood when she cut from the big cake and gave the slice to Gem." I agree with this statement as Jem is symbolising the coming of age by understanding life better and the things that are happening around him. |

Miss Maudie sees that Jem is old enough to understand what has happened at Tom Robinson's trial. She responds to this by serving him from a "grownup" cake and speaking about the trial with him in an adult manner.

This symbolises Jem growing older and becoming wiser as a young Individual.

Jem receives a slice from a larger cake because he is becoming a man, he's maturing which means he can have a larger slice of cake then the other two who are not as mature yet. |
