Explanation:

The given passage in the question is from Harper Lee's "To Kill A Mockingbird" Chapter 4 where Scout, Jem and their friend Dill were playing. The exact passage is from when Scout, our narrator, had just offended her brother and didn't realize it. So, the next chance that Jem got to pay back his younger sister for 'offending him' when she "contradicted him on Hot Steams", he did so.

They were playing with an old tire when Jem pushed it so hard that Scout couldn't see properly, "Ground, sky and  houses melted into a mad palette". She got rolled up all the way, crashing at the Radleys' steps.

In this passage, Scout used the word "reward" in an ironic and sarcastic way, implying that due to her offence of disagreeing with her brother before, he had now taken a chance to punish her for that.

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.
