HE LOVES HIS
FELLOW MAN.  Atticus is color blind when it comes to the races, and as

"Atticus Finch is the same in his house as he is
on the public
streets." 

GOOD
PARENT.  He is a single parent, but he teaches his children right from

independence for them to make many of their own decisions, and his warnings usually

that she and Jem still go to Atticus when they need the right answer to a
problem. 

We

Atticus.

HONEST
& TRUSTWORTHY.  He is constantly reelected unopposed as Maycomb's
representative to the Alabama legislature--a testimony to the man with whom many people
may disagree but nearly all respect. He keeps his promises and puts his responsibilities
over his personal matters, sometimes to the detriment of his family. According to Miss
Maudie,

himself without the benefit of going to school. He is a capable lawyer, well-read, and
adept at understanding what goes on in the mind of others. Miss Maudie claims
that

"... he can make somebody's will so airtight
can't anybody meddle with it."
