‘“Atticus, he was real nice’, his hands were under my chin, pulling up the cover, tucking it around me, ‘Most people are, Scout, when you finally see them’”(Lee 376).

Scout was a little girl who was sometimes quick to form an opinion on someone.

So as humble as atticus is he decided to defend the poor old helpless and innocent man tom robinson.

And then after the court scene Bob Ewell confronted him and spit in his face to get back at atticus.

“To Kill A Mockingbird” is set in the small town of Maycomb, Alabama during the Great Depression. The main character in the film is Atticus Finch. Atticus Finch is a highly respected lawyer in Maycomb and is relatively financially-stable compared to the rest of the people in his community, even amidst the Great Depression. In Maycomb, a black man named Tom Robinson is being sent to trial for raping a white woman. Due to this town being heavily populated by whites and extremely racist, it was almost impossible for Tom Robinson to find a lawyer who would defend him at trial.

In Go Set A Watchman, Jean Louise is disappointed by Atticus and his drastic change. When Jean Louise was younger, her father was kind and wise. He also put his reputation at risk when he defended an a black man who was falsely accused of raping a white woman in a town full of racist and prejudiced people.

From the beginning of the book all the way to page 126, the kids have always thought that Atticus had never done anything exciting in his lifetime and that he was just an average Joe with nothing particularly or special about him. The kids had always thought that he had led an anti-climatic, boring life. The kids had assumed this for the reason that Atticus had never shared any exciting stories about himself that truly grasped Jem and Scout’s attention.

When Jean Louise “Scout” Finch returns home to Maycomb County Alabama, she never expected the mindset of the people in her hometown to change. Maycomb would become more advanced and modern, but the views of the people she loved and grew up with, never would. “Until comparatively recently in its history, Maycomb County was so cut off from the rest of the nation that some of its citizens, unaware of the South’s political predilections over the past ninety years, still voted Republican.” (Lee 7). Since Maycomb is so distant from the awareness of certain historical events taking place in the mid 1950s, Scout does not expect to find a change in people’s mind relating to civil rights. When Scout first arrives home and sees people like Atticus, Aunt
