All who knew him thought he should be treated highly. Judge Taylor thought that Scout should respect him too when saying: "Miss Jean Louise, stand up. Your fathers passing." (Page 214). Atticus was never violent. Even in tough situations where it would be easier to fight with your fist then your mind, he stayed calm. When he was approached at Maycomb jail by a group of white men,

including Mr. Cunningham, he acted with no violence. He also told his daughter, Scout, to be non-violent also when saying: " 'That'll do Scout' Atticus put his hand on my shoulder 'Don't kick folks." Lastly Att

icus is portrayed as a very good father. His attitude towards his children is positive. He encouraged them to read and write and told them they had to go to school.

He told Scout the answer she wanted to hear when she asked what a nigger-lover was. He told her: "nigger-lover is just one of those terms that don't mean anything, like snot nose."
