Atticus Finch Symbolism

Improved Essays
Everyone is approximately equal, but everyone is also commonly unique. Atticus Finch, a character in Harper Lee’s novel To Kill a Mockingbird tries to save Tom Robinson, a black man, from a wrongly accused crime. One of Atticus’s statements is “our courts are the great levelers, and in our courts all men are created equal.” Anywhere, all men should be created equal, but that is not the reality of human nature. Harper Lee’s use of dialogue and symbolism show that man will not perceive others as equal. The dialogue in TKAM expresses how people prejudice their fellow man because of how they live their life. Dolphus Raymond, the “town drunk” states “When I come to town, which is seldom, if I weave a little and drink out of this sack, folks can

    I recall a time when I was a little kid, maybe 7 or 8 years old, when my dad decided it was time for me to see what he does at work. He’d taken me with him before, but not for the entire day. He’s a professional tennis trainer (former pro), and also cleans pools on the side to obtain a little extra money, since my mother cannot work due to her illness. There were times when I’d just tag along with him when he went to teach a lesson or brush a pool out, but for the most part, I wasn’t really aware of exactly what he did and for how long every day. Just that I’d wake up and he’d already be gone, and then get home at around six-thirty or seven PM.…

    In this journal I will be characterizing Atticus. Atticus in chapters 10-15 is mysterious for many reasons. One of the many reasons he was mysterious is because it said in the book “ Atticus Finch was the deadest shot in Maycomb County in his time” (Lee 129). If I found out or anyone did that my dad was a great shooter before I was born I would be asking myself why did he not tell me before. Atticus could have been trying to protect Scout and Jem by not letting them know that he had a great shot, but if he was trying to protect what was he trying to protect them from?…
