Atticus is an older parent, so he is wise, knows his limitations, and does the best with setting examples for his children as he can. He tells them the answers to the uneasy questions they ask such as what rape was, "He sighed, and said rape was carnal knowledge of a female by force and without concent." (pg. 135). He tries to teach his children to be good to all people, no matter their family, race, or religion. He is trying to instill in his children that all people are equals. Everyone is a person with feelings.
Atticus is like my mom where she doesn't always give me the answer. She let's me figure things out for myself. But unlike Atticus she is more affectionate towards me than he is to his children. Honestly I would love to have a father like Atticus because he fights for what is right, and is a compassionate person. I admire him and think he would be an amazing role model.

I really agree that Atticus is wise, with age comes wisdom.But I really believe he could stick up for himself a little better. But another good thing is that he can forgive and forget.
I agree.. With age comes experience and wisdom, which Atticus seems to have a lot of. He's also a good parent because of the way he teaches is kids.
I liked a lot of the words you used while explaining Atticus. Also i agree with you in that he is wise and that he fights for what is right.
The way you embedded the quote was another thing i liked in your paragraph.
Keep blogging.
