Both Jem and Scout and Atticus and Alexandra have fairly typical sibling relationships throughout the novel. In both sibling groups, each person cares about their sibling's well-being and disagrees with their siblings on occasion. Similar to Atticus and Alexandra, Jem and Scout are prone to arguing with each other, and both siblings struggle for influence and control. Like Atticus and Alexandra, Jem and Scout spend a significant amount of time around one another and attempt to console each other during difficult times. Alexandra offers to help Atticus raise Scout, and Jem demonstrates affection for Scout by walking her to the Halloween festival, buying her a baton, and attempting to prevent her from arguing with Alexandra.
Unlike Atticus and Alexandra, Jem and Scout do not have fundamentally different ideologies regarding race, heritage, and education. Jem and Scout also express their affection towards one another more than Atticus and his sister. Scout also looks up to her brother and follows in his footsteps, which is not the case in Atticus and Alexandra's relationship.
