The image of acceptance and wisdom Atticus portrays
I really like Atticus. Alot of the people in this book seem to be old school families, or harsh, or view kids as immature and don't think they can learn, stuff like that. But Atticus looks for every option to teach Scout life lessons and he treats his kids like they are older than they are. He is very wise and is a great father figure. There is still the things about them not calling him dad, which i do wonder about. But going back to what i was saying Atticus really stands out as a person of wisdom. And it really bothers me how alot of the other people judge kids and it shows how much judgement and they thought everyone was the same and social classes were always the same. He is the "needle in the Haystack" said by my fellow blogger charliesangels

I agree! He is a single father, but he just does his best. And he lets the kids figure out life's lessons on their own, which is the best way to learn them. But he is always there when they need help.
Atticus really reminds me of my dad. I mean i do not call my dad by his first name but he seems to have the same qualities my dad has. My dad is a single dad raising 2 kids. My dad will do anything to keep me out of trouble. People even call my dad "Mr........" It really makes me look at my dad and appreciate the things he does for me like Atticus does for Jem and Scout.
And the father of the year award goes to... (drum roll)... ATTICUS FINCH!!!
yeah. He is like me, he doesnt' go with the flow. He does the right thing and just because people insult him and his family he still fulfills his duty and does the right thing
