Answer:

He says they did a "jim-dandy job"

Step-by-step explanation:

In chapter 8, it snows in Maycomb. The children create a "snowman" with mud and a little bit of snow. When Atticus sees the snowman he tells they did a "jim-dandy job". Jem is delighted because of that comment, and he tells Scout that Atticus is a gentleman. This gives the reader the idea of the loving relationship between Jem and Atticus.

Answer:

At the point when Atticus sees the snowman he says they completed a "jim-dandy occupation." Jem is elated with his dad's compliment since his "ears blushed" when he is given Atticus' endorsement. Jem admires Atticus all through the novel and is always revealing to Scout that he is a "refined man" simply like Atticus.

Scout and Jem buckled down, and gradually their snowman met up. They made him look like Mr. Avery, a neighbor. When they indicated Atticus, he declared that they "had completed a jim-dandy employment" (To Kill a Mockingbird, Chapter 8). He lauded them on striving to make a snowman with so little snow.
