Atticus Book Reports

Do you ever think about what problems other people have? In this book called To Kill a Mockingbird, there is a character who people think bad about. The people just talk, but never think or understand why he is making those decisions or why he acts a certain way. His name is Atticus. Atticus is a lawyer who tries to defend his client and he is a father who gives his best for his children. I chose Atticus as my character because I see Atticus in my father. He has to take care of the problems of others and take care of his family. He is a good father that puts his children first. Atticus and my father have much in common. They both teach their children and sometimes have to punish them. They go to work and give their best in their job. They are …show more content…
Atticus has had a lot of problems after the death of his wife. He learned with his kids because he didn’t see what problems they were having and he had to help and guide Jem and Scout.

When it was Christmas; Jem and Scout just wanted rifles. Nowadays, kids just want phones, tablets, etc. In addition, I need to be appreciated that I have a family, a mother, father, and a
