In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee describes her characters very well and has a complex imagination so you can really picture the characters and feel their relationships with others. Three of the most different and interesting characters she wrote of consists of being Calpurnia, Atticus Finch, and Boo Radley. These characters are all very different, but all link together in some way.
Calpurnia is the Finch’s housekeeper who is trusted by Atticus and his family. Atticus says I couldn 't have got along without her all these years. She 's a faithful member of this family, and another thing, the children love her. She acts as a mother figure for Jem and Scout and disciplines them like her own children.

He now lives in Maycomb, Alabama and has two children and a housekeeper and is a widower. Atticus is nearly 50. Atticus is one of the only people in this town during this time who does not discriminate and think it 's wrong, which is a good influence for Scout and Jem, his children. Atticus is also nearly blind in left eye. Atticus defended a black man named Tom Robinson, who was accused of rape and was chosen for the case because everyone knew if anyone would defend him properly, it would be Atticus even though the odds of him winning were slim to none. Atticus says if I didn 't I couldn 't hold my head up in town, I couldn 't represent this county in the legislature, I couldn 't even tell you or Jem not to do something again. Atticus is a good role model for his kids by teaching his kids to respect everyone despite people are not always friendly. An example of this is when Mrs. Dubose calls him a nigger-lover and is rude to his kids he does not yell back and handles this situation in a good way. When she passed away Atticus told them the reason he made them read to them for a month was because he wanted her to stop using morphine. Atticus also makes an effort to make the people of Maycomb understand that it is not because of the person 's race, gender or economic status that makes them innocent or guilty. He shows his ways in the courtroom while defending Tom Robinson against Mayella Ewell and her father, Bob. To show that he is not demeaning Atticus talks to them as Mr. or Miss. Atticus is a good anti-racist person who teach Jem and Scout about this topic and is a good role model in the
