In this journal I will be characterizing Atticus and questioning whether Calpurnia or Alexandra is an excellent mother to the children. As I am further reading To Kill a Mockingbird I begin to characterize Atticus. I characterize Atticus as a caring and wise individual. One of the first ways Atticus portrays himself as is caring.

First of all‚ I will be characterizing Atticus as an outsider and a riskful person. To begin‚ Atticus can be characterized as an outsider. Firstly‚ Atticus does not hunt‚ fish‚ gamble‚ drink‚ or smoke like a majority of the fathers and men in Maycomb do. As stated in the novel‚ “He did not do the things our schoolmates’ fathers did: he never went hunting‚ he did not play poker or fish or drink or smoke. He sat in the livingroom and read” (Lee 118). Not doing one or two of those activities to the

Atticus Finch‚ the hero of To Kill a Mockingbird‚ and Jake Brigance‚ the leading man of A Time to Kill‚ are both brave‚ determined lawyers. Though they share some similar techniques in the way they defend their clients‚ overall their methods as lawyers are quite different.

He is an experienced lawyer‚ and uses cross examination

Atticus as a Protagonist Granted. It is an interesting word‚ Granted means to “To accept without question or objection; assume.” You never know when the world is going to take people or change them for good.

To begin with‚ Robert Anton Wilson once said‚ “There is absolutely nothing in this world that can be taken for granted.” This is exactly what the novel is about. Tom Robinson

The Finches‚ consisting of Scout‚ Jem‚ and Atticus are very well educated. Scout‚ who started the first grade‚ already knew how to read‚ thanks to Atticus and his newspaper. Dill‚ the children’s summer time friend‚ used his first words of greeting when they first met‚ to brag about knowing how to read at the age of seven. Jem responded to him‚ saying that Scout could read ever since she was a baby. Scout wasn’t looking forward to her first day of school. The imperceptive young teacher from out of

Atticus approach to parenting when you first start reading the book‚ seems like a mean and rude parent. But as you keep reading and learn from what time period his kids grow up in and what type of town the live. Which his way of parenting makes his kids understand how life goes around Maycomb‚ Alabama. If he didnt parent with the “love‚ hate” relationship they would have a tough time when they hear all of the hateful and rude comments made about others around town. It might not seem like it but

There seems to be an overarching idea that the Intelligence Community (IC) is not functionally operating to its fullest extent. There are many dissenters to the ICs structure and capabilities‚ referring the IC as inept and squandering opportunities‚ ignoring priorities. The ability to provide actionable and relevant intelligence to the ICs customers from the President‚ military‚ congress and policy makers is important to the wellbeing and safety of the U.S. The IC customers all rely on the proficiency

Atticus‚ from Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird said “People generally see what they look for and hear what they listen for.” He knows that people won’t want to believe that tom is innocent but he still tries.
