jem: 'I guess you don't really understand how much people mean to you, until they are gone. And well, i guess thats how i feel with Mrs Dubose, you see, she was the most horrible person I have ever met. She would do nothing but call my father names and make fun of him, but what I didn't understand was that she did indeed have true courage like Atticus said she did. Everytime i had to read to her, and it felt like a prison, I had never noticed that i was helping her. And that she was strong enough to over come her drug addiction. When Atticus had first told me she had passed, I was filled with so much happiness, but i regret even thinking that now, cause even though i assumed she gave me her flouer to tuant me.. I have come to believe that she actually meant it as a sign of forgiveness, as though she would even consider me a friend. I realised i was not the nicest person to her, and since then I have decided that as I grow up, not once will I ever give up, because not once did Mrs Dubose give up.'
