Analysis of Attic Finch


What he wants them to know is that courage is when you know you are beat, yet you persevere anyway. Atticus is making sure that his kids do not have the wrong impression of what is courage. Atticus, in a very subtle way, shows, not tells, Jem and Scout how their father is courageous. He refers to courage as knowing when you have lost before you even begin. His definition of courage is exactly how he deals with his almost impossible Tom Robinson case. The best thing that Atticus does for his children is making them one of the few white people in Maycomb who isn't prejudice. Atticus makes it clear that he is not racist towards black people. In doing so, he also has a conversation with his daughter about how racist people are very appalling. One day after visiting Mrs. Dubose, Scout asks Atticus if he loves black people, "You aren't really a nigger lover then, are you?" asks Scout "I certainly am. I do my best to love everybody", responds Atticus (113). Because there are so many people accusing Atticus of being a "nigger lover", Scout decides to ask her dad if he really is. Atticus responds by saying that he is a "nigger lover", and proud of it. Atticus tries his best to love everybody, and by him doing so, he teaches his children that they must do their best to love everybody as well. Throughout the story, Atticus teaches them different morals. He tells them when to do the proper thing at the right time. He has them do special deeds for different people. By making his kids well mannered and well educated, Atticus drastically improves their lives. .
             Atticus makes numerous impacts on the black people and their lifestyles as well. The black community is so thankful to Atticus for doing such a great job of defending Tom; they give him an abundant amount of food. The morning after the verdict of the Tom Robinson case, the whole Finch family is feeling bitter. As soon as they come into the kitchen for breakfast, they are welcomed with a pleasant surprise.
