This shows just how good a parent he is for trying to instill into them tolerance at this young an age. He even did a case for the Cunninghams which we did not get the full details for, he could not pay Atticus back to which Atticus was very kind towards him about saying he did not have to do it. Though Atticus knew they would pay him back somehow not in money but in other ways because he trusted them because they never take anything they can not repay someone back in. Which is why Walter before he even hit adolescent would not take a quarter because he knew he could not repay the teacher back. There are a lot of characters in this story though Atticus seems to far to have the highest morals being more tolerant of others even if he dislikes them like the Ewells. Though Jem understands social situations more especially in reading a situation or what someone means when they give a vague answer. One example of this is when Dill said his dad was alive, but not with him, Jem knew what he meant while scout was coming off intrusive in asking him until Jem tried to give her a hint. Another example is the Cunninghams being a poor family never getting anything sweet, but she rather than trying to understand him just called him out on it making him feel embarrassed to which Atticus later attempted to explain to her by saying you got to get in someone's skin and move around in it to understand them. This is his explanation and Scout seemed to somewhat understand it and we will find out in the next situation that may arise just how much she took it to hurt if she did at all.

Atticus's Morals
Atticus Finch so far is a man of high moral standard. From the first three chapters so far we have heard so much positive things about him. He is described as a tolerant man and even tries to teach it to Scout who somewhat understood it. Scout in this chapter is pretty ignorant of the ways of the Cunningham family. I don't know about anyone else, but if molask was the only time I was getting something sweet I would bathe in it. His description of tolerance is very understanding and though sounds weird at first thinking about it, it makes sense. If you step in someone's skin and move around in it you will see things from their perspective.

I do agree with Atticus's tolerance, and that he is a good parent for instilling it in both Jem and Scout. He also provided the best explanations without laying a hand on his own children. Atticus also looks at the poor like the Cunninghams and says that they don't have to pay him back. This also shows he does his job because he wants to help the struggling, not for the money. I do agree that Atticus is the most tolerant and charitable character in the book so far.
ReplyDeleteI agree with all the things you said about Atticus. We know that he is a man of high morals, and I agree that he is already teaching his children tolerance, and this is very important. He is a very nice man, and we see this when he tells the Cunninghams not to worry about the money. You did a good job talking about a very important character in the book who is a man of character and integrity, and I agree that Atticus seems to have the highest morals in the book so far. Overall, you did a good job summarizing Atticus, and you wrote a great blog post.
