Examples Of Atticus's Parenting Styles In To Kill A Mockingbird '

1. Atticus’s parenting style is not like most parents in Maycomb. Atticus likes to be straight forward with his kids Jem and Scout and not lie to them. Throughout the story Jem and Scout have to deal with racism. Atticus said,”...you’re confusing that with something else. Way back about nineteen-twenty there was a klan, but it was a political organization more than anything(Lee 196). Atticus is talking to Jem when he says this. I’m pretty sure not many white parents told their kids about the KKK. Atticus’s relationship with his kids is close almost always, but sometimes Atticus gets a little too far into his work.

Atticus FInch best exemplifies courage in the book. Atticus takes crap from everyone from defending Tom Robinson. On page 290 it states, “...Mr.Bob Ewell stopped Atticus on the post office corner, spat in his face, and told him he’d get him if it took the rest of his life. All Atticu responded with was he wished Bob didn't chew tobacco. Atticus didn’t get mad all he did was walk away. Atticus Finch has the most courage, because he doesn’t let anyone get in his way.
