Major character Atticus Finch

Quote: The quote shows that Atticus is a kind man. He tries to be a good father for his children. He does a lot of things to make Jem and Scout happy.
 * **“Jem and I found our father satisfactory: he played with us, read to us, and treated us with courteous detachment.” (Lee, 6)**
 * **“Calpurnia always won, mainly because Atticus always took her side.” (Lee, 7)**

The quote tells us that Atticus respects all of people. Even though, Calpurnia is a black woman, Atticus always respects Calpurnia. There is no racism in Atticus’s family, he treats Calpurnia well.


 * **“If you can learn a simple trick, Scout, you’ll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. You never really understand person until you consider things from his point of view.” (Lee, 39)**

The quote tells that Atticus is a discipline man. Even though, he loves his children, he teaches his children to have a good manner. He trains his children to understand others people. He told his daughter to put herself in someone’s shoes. It means he teaches Scout to consider things from other people point of view.


 * LINK “THE PERSUIT OF HAPPINESS”**

I chose the trailer of “The Pursuit of Happiness” by Gabriele Muccino, because Chris Gardner (acted by Will Smith) has a similar figure with Atticus Finch. Even Chris Gardner loves his son, he teaches his son to have a polite behaviour disciplinary.
