What are some quotes that show that Jem is a protective brother in To Kill a Mockingbird?

In ,is
passing the Radley yard when she notices something shiny coming from the knothole in one of the
trees. Scout ends up finding a stick of Wrigley's Double-Mint gum and begins chewing on it.
Whencomes home and asks Scout where she got the gum, Scout tells her brother that she found it
in one of the Radley trees. Jem demonstrates his protective nature by saying,

"Spit it out right now!" (Lee 22).

Jem proceeds to yell at Scout for her "dangerous" stunt
and tells her that she could have died. Another scene that displays Jem's protective nature and
concern for Scout's well-being takes place in . Immediately after Scout and Jem get into a
fight, Scout knocks on Jem's door to ask him if he can take a look underneath her bed. Jem does
not hesitate to come to Scout's aid, and he goes to the kitchen to grab a broom. Lee
writes,

"Jem made a tentative swipe underneath the
bed. I looked over the foot to see if a snake would come out. None did. Jem made a deeper
swipe" (Lee 86).

Fortunately, there is no snake
underneath the bed and Dill Harris surprisingly comes out from his hiding
spot.
