SOM - chapter 13

conformity- I think that Jem is following the conformity because he is trying to act more responsible and mature, like of how people would want him to. He is acting upon how his father, Atticus would want him to. He is polite and does more gentleman like things for Cal and for the other people that he helps out. Before he didn't care what people thought about how he behaved but now, he understands that he has to be more like an adult figure. Atticus and Also Aunt Alexandra want Jem to act a certain way, in which he can be presentable for the family. Aunt Alexandra is pleased when Jem knows about the family and when he is polite, in which he learned more and acted more polite around her and their company. Jem tries to please others, even if he doesn't want to necessarily do it.
Obedience - I would have to say that Scout follows the obedience that most. She does not like to be punished so if Aunt Alexandra says say hello to your cousins, she says hello in a polite, lady like manor. Then, when Atticus tells Scout not to fight, she obeys him and tries to stay out of fights to not get in trouble. Scout follows peoples instructions, no matter how much she does not want to, she still does just to prevent from being punished. For Aunt Alex she is working on becoming more lady like just to please her and to no get yelled at, but it is harder than she thinks. Scout will do anything just to not get punished.
