Answer:
- small cakes; a slice of a large cake.
- To acknowledge his maturity.
Step-by-step explanation:
The day after the trial, Miss Maudie invited the children inside for cake. Dill and Scout get two small cakes, Jem gets a slice of a large cake.
This is based on the book, ''To Kill a Mockingbird'' by Harper Lee.
Jem got a slice of the larger cake from Miss Maudie because she acknowledged that Jem was now grown and more mature because he was able to understand the injustice that a man named Tom Robinson had gone through in being wrongfully convicted for a ra-pe simply because he was a black man in Alabama.
