Jem Finch Monologue

295 Words | 2 Pages

My brother Jem got his arm badly broken when he was thirteen. Luckily, his no-good arm doesn't interfere with his mad football skills, so he didn't care that much. I think everything began with Andrew Jackson, whose actions led to our only ancestor Simon Finch, settling in Alabama, then calling his homestead, Finch’s Landing. If it wasn’t for him, I don’t think that I would be here. My father Atticus moved to Montgomery to go at a law school.

Atticus Finch Archetype

916 Words | 4 Pages

In To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee portrays Atticus Finch as the sage archetype, presenting him as a wise and shrewd lawyer who confronts prejudice with tenacity while concurrently fulfilling his responsibilities as a parent to educate his children regarding the nature of society. Atticus Finch employs his knowledge and moral convictions to guide his children, Jem, and Scout Finch, as demonstrated when he urges Scout to "hold [her] head high and keep [her] fists down" while hearing the unpleasant remarks of others concerning the Tom Robinson trial. By using indirect characterisation, his words reflect his knowledge of the consequences for defending Tom Robinson, which will be reflected on his family; thus, he wishes to protect his family from the vexatiousness of the trial, enunciating the attributes of the sage archetype as he is understanding of morality, with which he guides his children, and is represented as a wise family figure.

Jem Finch's Innocence

2048 Words | 9 Pages

“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view — until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.” (Chapter 3) You never really understand what Atticus, a white father with a creditable job as a lawyer but defends for the black, was trying to teach his children if you are not trying hard to play his role in the novel.
