I think that Jem cried because he was sad that Mr.Nathan had filled up the tree hole, and that Atticus expects him to no these things.

he cryes at the end of thew chapter because he didnt wantr the hole in the tree to be covered up.

he cried because he did want the hole and tree to be covered up

i think jem cries because of the things they found in the hole they cant find any more so

its makeing him feel like theres nothing to do anymore

Jem cries at the end of the chapter because the hole gets filled in and him and scout kinda had a friend through that hole and now they cant

comunitcate with him.

Jem cries at the end of the chapter because the hole gets filled and now they can't have the person who cared enough to wach them so closely

jem cries because he liked the stuff him and scout were gettin.

he cries because he wanted to know who put those things in the tree and who cared for them and i think he is very stressed as well

jem cries because of the tree being plugged up and he didnt really figure out the mystery of who is putting the gifts inside of it

even though he has ideas about what is happening

jem cries at the end of the chapter because mr.nathan covered the hole upp and no him and scout cant figure out who was leaving the stuff in

the tree for him and scout

jem cries at the end of he chapter because he finds that the hole in the tree is covered up

and cuz he didnt find out who was putting the things there

I think he cried at the end because he didn't want to hole to be covered up, he couldn't communicate with their secret friend.

i think he cried at the end because the whole was covered up and so he couldnt find out who the person was that was sending them things

I think Jem cried because he couldn;t find out who was giving them presents

Also, I think he cried because he lost the excitement of finding new treasures everyday from their mysterious friend

he cries at the end of the chapter because he liked getting stuuf out of the tree hole and now he cant.

Jem cries because he’s upset because Mr. Nathan filled the tree hole

Also, Jem is crying because he may know that Boo puts stuff in the tree for them and he wanted to talk to Boo.

I think Boo got the note and couldn’t read it so he asked Nathan to read it. When Nate saw the note he filled the hole to stop Boo

from talking with them. I think this is because he doesn’t want the kids to know a secret that probably involves Boo.

Jem cries at the end of the chapter because they put cement in the hole. I think that he's finally showing how much he cared about getting

to know boo and how much he looked forward to whatever they were getting in the hole.

Jem cries at the end because Mr.Nathan Filled the knot in the tree to keep boo from commuicating with the kids

i think because it is the end of his adventures

he is crying because he is never going to find out who was giving them the stuff because the tree hole was covered up.

or he thinks he never is going to find out

love all these responses..loss of adventure, loss of possible friend, no more gifts...good stuff

to cry over it, though? why is it that important? what does that tell you about Jem?

he obviously cries from the tree issue. but why does this bother him so much

?*

something more has got to be going on. the tree mustve meant much more to jem than we thought because he actually cried about it..

probobly because he knew hed never find out who the secret "friend"is that keeps leaving stuff there

He cries because he didn't want the hole in the tree to be covered up.

he cries because the whole was covered

wow. I meant hole.

I think tht the covered hole means tht the kids can't get anymore stuff from the person

they can't communicate anymore with tht person

Jem might have finally realized it was Boo, it could be Nathen too, who put the stuff in the tree and fixed his pants.

I'd cry too. they're creepy!!!!

I think Jem cried because the hole was exciting to him, he enjoyed the stuff from the tree and it showed it meant a lot to him

he feels that he has nothing to look forward to now that there is no hidding place.

he cried beacuse the hole was covered and they can't get any other things out of it.

I think Jem cries for the whole being covered up because, he doesn't want to believe that it has to do with the Radley's house.

dasia, great question and response...think about Jem's personality..he's been taught all about compassion

and now, he's seeing an UNcompassionate act..nathan filling in the tree...he knows nathan must be keeping boo from people

in some way...or that boo is so lonely that he's reaching out for any type of human contact

and now, that's gone

I also agree with brad...their adventure is over...it's like the night before school after a great vacation..can't you relate to that?

jem crys because the hole in the tree was blocked up and it was exciting for them to find new things in that tree each time they went there.

agreed with taylor, and he had the idea that it could be boo, so he prolly felt as though he could get closer to him some how, and finally

know him

jem cried at the end of the chapter because Mr.Radley filled up the hole in the tree with cement

i think that jem cries because someone covered the hole and can no longer cumunicate with that person through the tree.

because he wanted to met who eve ws doingg this

jem cried because the hole got fixed up. this means that he and scout could no longer get presents or meet the person who was leaving them

jem crys because of MR nathan radley fills up the knot hole that boo has been putting stuff in...

I just read it since I wasnt here monday or tuesday. I think Jem cries because he wanted to get to know boo, and now, he no longer can.

i think jem cries at the end of the chapter because he lost communication with boo

Jem crys at the end of the chapter because Mr.nathan radley filled the hole in the tree

with cement. jem feels bad because this was boo's way to reach out and communicate to people and it was taken away just like that
