The two watches symbolize the children's connection with both their father and Boo Radley. Moreover, the watch that Atticus gives to Jem is an attempt to establish trust between a father and a son.

Explanation:

The story of "To Kill a Mockingbird" is centered around the Finch family, which consists of a father, Atticus, and his two children, Jem and Scout. In the fictional town of Maycomb where they live, rumors are circulating about a mysterious neighbor who never leaves his house, Boo Radley. Having heard these stories, the children are afraid of him, but it later turns out that he is a kind person who helps Scout and Jem when they are attacked.

Radley leaves various presents for Scout and Jem in a tree, among which is the watch. This is his way to connect with the children and prove them that he is trustworthy, since he cannot approach them directly due to all the rumors surrounding him. Similarly, Atticus gives Jem the pocket watch that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Finch family. With this gift, Atticus shows him that he trusts him enough to give him this family treasure. This present indicates that Jem has grown up and matured.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
