Atticus Finch Diary Entry
For my dairy formative, I chose Atticus Finch from the classic Novel To kill a mockingbird by Harper Lee. The scene I chose for this Diary entry is when Atticus in court defending Tom Robinson.

Choosing the scene was hard for me because in To kill a Mockingbird there was many great scenes with Atticus. But I believed that the Scene in the Court showed a lot from atticus for example it showed how powerful of voice he has and a lot of traits about him.

Throughout the Diary, I tried to show the emotions that Atticus most likely occurred during the court scene and after it. For example when I wrote “Anger

    So far I have read chapters one, two, and three in “To Kill A Mockingbird.” They have been quite interesting, and a lot has happened in these chapters.

While I was reading the book I started to think that by the way they would talk about Boo Radley they would not be meeting him. There is an old story in the Maycomb town that Boo Radley was locked away for a good amount of time.…

    In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, we are introduced to many unique characters. One of which is Atticus Finch; a patient man who always cares. In the story, Atticus is talking to Uncle Jack on the topic of answering a child’s question. He gives Jack these words of advice, “ ‘Bad language is a stage all children go through, and it dies with time when they learn they’re not attracting attention with it.’ (pg. 116)” I believe Atticus is definitely doing the right thing by letting Scout discover for herself what her cursing will lead to. Atticus, without a doubt, has to be patient with young Scout as she continues to exercise these words. I believe that Atticus also has to be accepting towards Scout when she practices speaking…

    A lot has happened since the day that I stood on Boo Radley’s porch and looked out into the street. I had finally been able to see the world from his perspective. It was on that day that I truly learned that a person cannot be understood until I stood in their shoes and walked around in them. From that day forward, I vowed that I would one day teach my children the wise words that Atticus Finch had taught me when I was a child. Seventeen years have passed since that day.…

    In the 1930's in southern Alabama, rape and attempted rape was considered a capital offense. This was just one of the measures taken to ensure the safety of Southern women, who in the eyes of men, were fragile and innocent. As a result of the Ladies Law, men could even be sentenced to jail time for using profane language around a lady. This conservative culture, combined with prejudices leftover from the civil war, spelled trouble for any black man who spent his time in company with white women. In Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird, Tom Robinson, an African American, is charged with the rape of a young white woman. Tom Robinson is very fortunate to be given Atticus Finch as his defense attorney. Atticus Finch is an outstanding lawyer whose moral responsibility and personal investment gave Tom Robinson the best chance at being acquitted.…
