Who Is Atticus Finch In To Kill A Mockingbird

My character Atticus finch is the man of the hour in To kill a Mockingbird. He possess many traits. On of his many is the fact that he is accepting. In the early 19 hundreds people were very racist even after the segregation laws were passed. Atticus didn’t care what you looked like.
