To kill a Mockingbird (Atticus)?

Question

Im doing an assignment for school and I dont really understand the question.

It says:

What objects can you associate with your character that illustrates his essence?

Can you explain this better for me or give me examples?

My character is Atticus

Thanks.

Answer 1

I think the object that best illustrates his essence is his glasses. He needs them in order to be able to see, but it is almost as if his glasses provide him with an insight far beyond which most of us are able to fathom...he can see beyond prejudice and social injustice (which at the time of the novel's setting was really remarkable).

"To Kill a Mockingbird" is a wonderful book. I've just reread it again.

Those are the things you look at when considering the essence of a person. In general just what kind of man is he?

Hope that helps you figure his essence. No two people see a person the same: It is how you see his character and why:
I might see him a the strong silent type who does not need to be bousterous and because of his inner strength his is respectful to others.
You might see him as meek and crowardly. It is how you see him and why.

Answer 3

i think of Atticus is a similar idealistic, honorable guy or woman by using the e book. (that's a shame that English has no adjective according to "integrity"!) If he adjustments, that is because of the fact his infants are starting to be up and he would desire to alter with them. to 3 quantity the newborn's physique of ideas in the direction of him adjustments, as they grow to communicate specific skills and sides of character that have been in him all alongside. i might say that, fairly than changing, he has his character opened like a bud, so as that we see further and further of what's usually been there.
