Atticus

Atticus is a good and protective parent but he is old so he isn't a fun and active parent. He gives the kids presents that they can play with without him. When Scout wanted to know what certain words meant Atticus wanted to make it clear to tell the kids what that stuff meant like when he said" when they ask what something is tell them!" so the kids knew what words were okay and what weren't so they learn from it. I think Scout was confused because she was being told that she shouldn't know and should know from different people, one being her father. It shows that Atticus knows what he is doing as a parent and wants to raise his kids right. He was teaching about the difference in white and black people because he was defending a black person and wants the kids to know the conflict.
Atticus is way different from my parents because my parents dont just read and stay inside. There more involved and young and active. But there also similar because my mom tells me what certain words mean so I'm aware and know what is not okay to say. No, I wouldn't want a father like Atticus because I think he is just boring and not as interested in his kids life.
