What Is Atticus Considerate
Atticus is considerate and wise. He is considerate for three reasons; the first is because he always makes sure his kids are safe. When Uncle Jack gave the kids their air- rifles, Atticus would not teach them how to use it. When the rabid dog was on their street, Atticus made sure his kids were safe, and he killed the dog to keep everyone safe. Another reason he is considerate is because he makes sure his kids grow up having manners. When Mrs. Dubose wanted Jem to come read to her, Atticus made him even though he did not want to. He said “if you hadn’t fallen into her arms, I’d have made you go read to her anyway” (Lee148). Atticus knew it was the right thing to do, so he made sure Jem did it because he wanted him to grow up as a gentleman.
Another reason Atticus is considerate, is because he always does what is best for his kids even if they do not agree, or want to. When his kids get teased about Atticus doing the court case for Tom Robinson, he always tells them not to start a fight, or to let it get to them. Jack asks if Atticus has ever laid a hand on Scout, and he denies, because he does not think it is right, and he usually get by on threats. When Jack and Atticus are talking about why Atticus took the Tom Robinson case, he purposefully worded it to what Scout needed to hear, because he knew she was listening in to the conversation. He knew all those things were best for Scout and Jem. Atticus is also wise. He is wise because he knows many things from his past experiences. He knows how to handle hard situations with his kids from his past situations when he was young. He also gives good life lessons. He tells his kids that the bravest people are the ones who start things, even when they know that they might not end well, or go as they planned. Lastly, he does things that most people might not think is right, but he knows it is the right thing to do. He takes the Tom Robinson case even though everyone looks at him badly for it. He knows even though he will not win the case, he would not be able to hold his head up in the town if he did not try to help Tom. For all these reasons Atticus is considerate and wise.
