Later on we learn how ferm Atticus believes in racial equality when he is talking to Frank about Tom's case. He confesses that tom will never be acquitted since their will be an all white jury (100). Although he understands their is no hope for Tom, he still tried his hardest and only gives me more evidence to believe he is trying to set an example for the rest of the town. I believe Atticus is doing the right thing. I think all people should
Beside all Atticus believe anytime a white man treat a black person unapropriate, that man have no value in the eyes of the society as well as himself(pg:290). As a result of Atticus being a lawyer make him have more reason to defend Tom Robinson in order to maintain justice in the society he live
He stands up for what he believes in even if that means ruining himself or possibly putting those around him into danger. Atticus Finch is a very determined, earnest, and ambitious
Integrity is about being honest and doing what’s morally right; even when no one is watching you for it. The population of people with integrity is getting smaller by the day but the people who still have this trait are the people who make this world a better place. In Harper Lee’s novel To kill A Mockingbird integrity is a common trait which very few people seem to have but for the few people who does obtain this trait are the ones making a positive change towards racism. Atticus Finch is a man of integrity. He is defending Tom Robinson because he knows the man is wrongly convicted.
He wants to give everyone an equal chance. No matter the race or gender, Atticus is someone to treat everyone equally–He is unprejudiced. When trying to defend Tom in court, he says this. “But there is one way in this country in which all men are created equal- there is one human institution that makes a pauper the equal of a
Within the novel, Atticus is defending a black man by the name of Tom Robinson who was accused of raping a young woman. How Atticus handled this trial is widely considered to be fair. He asked just and equal questions to all the witnesses along with Tom and Mayella, the girl who cried rape. Why does Atticus do this instead of just giving up on Tom? It is simply explained with “if I didn’t
What do you think is the most important trait a person can have during stressful times? In To Kill A Mockingbird there are many situations in which the main characters are put through stress and are forced to make hard decisions. Having integrity during stressful times is incredibly important, one character who is especially good at this is Atticus Finch. Throughout many times in this story he keeps his head up and holds true to his beliefs. In To Kill A Mockingbird Harper Lee shows that having integrity is vital in order to do what is morally right through Atticus.
As a father Atticus has done everything he can to maintain his children, Jem and Scout, informed of what really is like out there in the real world. Honesty seems to be Atticus rout when dealing with life. In times Atticus will lose trial but the courage he has won’t allow him to give up on innocent people, like Tom. Atticus is the definition of role model to follow. He’s a great father to his children showing the the truth will always push them forwards in life.
Atticus was a great man. He was kind, caring, respectful, well thought of, level headed, and anything and everything that a good lawyer and father should be. He is one too just wants what 's right, which is why he did his best to defend Tom, when the case shouldn 't have been given to him but a low man who just finished the bar Judge taylor gave him the case because he knew he would give it his all to bring out the truth. He also sees everyone as equals and does not believe that the whites are any better than the blacks. Attics makes points toward the jury that in any other place or time would have been ruled in Toms being not guilty but because of the segregation in the deep south of maycomb the jury had their mind made up before tom even
Atticus clearly knew what he was getting into when he took the case, he knew how it would affect him and his children. He implied that he loved his children so much that he wouldn't be able to be the best parent to his ability if he did not take the case. Moreover, taking the case means he has to sacrifice the early innocence and security of his children. Scout and Jem would be faced with the reality of racism and learn about Maycomb’s usual disease. They would face people who disapprove of Atticus defending a Negro, and have to face the insults directed at him.
He is not only doing it for Tom Robinson, he is doing it for himself as well. Secondly, Atticus stands up for what is right because the moment he is asked to take Tom Robinson’s case he doesn’t think twice. He knew that someone who is innocent should not have to go to trial for something they did not do. He thinks racism should have an end. By taking this case he not only opens the eyes for his children, he opens the eyes of his peers and community members.
He is a talented man, he is good at a variety of things from being the best checker player in the town to being an honest and fair lawyer, and he can even play the Jew’s harp. Atticus is seen as a great father even though the odds are against him he does not give up therefore he is admired and respected for his courage. His attitude and personality does not change. For instance Miss Maudie says, “Atticus Finch is the same in his house as he is on the public streets” As a parent Atticus has a special way of teaching values he not only tries to explain how to behave but also why to behave in that way. Instead of telling and stating instructions what is wrong and right he uses real life occasion as a medium.
Atticus Finch is a man with many commendable attributes, one being the fact he believes in equality for all people. Regardless of their skin color, he does his “best to love everybody” (Harper, 144). Another attribute of Atticus is his wisdom. He has always been there for his children to share his fatherly advice. All the lessons Atticus teaches to Scout and Jem further strengthen the fact that Atticus is guiding his children, as a leader does.
In my opinion that is truly unfair. It makes sense as to why Atticus decided to defend Tom Robinson. He continuously tries to find the good in everyone and believes that the black community contains good people. Atticus had mentioned to his brother, Jack, that Tom was innocent but “doomed”. It was impossible
