Although they only have each other
Although Jem initially did not want to carry this out, he learned the value of true courage from it.

Is able to live her last days morphine free thanks to
Atticus explains why Dubose was such a brave woman by stating she fought to be free, and that she battled her morphine addiction until the she died. He says that Dubose knew she might not win, but she tried to overcome her addiction until the end.
"'She was. She had her own views about things, a lot different from mine, maybe... son, I told you that if you hadn't lost your head I'd have made you go read to her -- I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you being but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do. Mrs. Dubose won, all ninety-eight pounds of her. According to her views, she died beholden to nothing and nobody. She was the bravest person I ever knew.'" (112)
Believes her to be the bravest woman he has ever known for fighting to her last days to be free and restrained by nothing
Dubose was able to carry out her final wish of being beholden to nothing (morphine) as Jem distracted her by reading to her.
"'She was. She had her own views about things, a lot different from mine, maybe... son, I told you that if you hadn't lost your head I'd have made you go read to her -- I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand.

"'Yes, that's what they were. Most of the time you were reading to her I doubt if she heard a word you said. Her whole mind and body were concentrated on that alarm clock. If you hadn't fallen into her hands, I'd have made you go read to hear anyway. It may have been some distraction. There was another reason--'
'Did she die free?' asked Jem.
'As the mountain air,' said Atticus." (111)
Explains how Atticus does not mind Scout's aggressive behaviour by supporting her argument with Jem.
"Atticus smiled. 'Let's leave it at this: you mind Jem whenever he can make you. Fair enough?'" (138)
Is in mutual hate with her sibling
"Of course Jem antagonized me sometimes until I could kill him, but when it came down to it he was all I had."
Shows how Atticus is very reluctant to whip Jeremy
and is tolerate to his rascal-like behaviour.
The line shows how Scout does not have anyone else to confide in most of the time, and the reluctant hate-love bond Scout and Jem make as siblings.
"He blew out his breath patiently. 'I--it's like this Scout,' he muttered. 'Atticus ain't ever whipped me since I can remember. I wanna keep it that way. '
This was thought. It seemed that Atticus threatened us every other day. 'You mean he's never caught you at anything.'
'Maybe so, but--I just wanta keep it that way, Scout. We shoudn'a done that tonight. Scout.'" (56)
