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. Atticus states “… I do my best to love everybody…” (Lee 144). From
