Atticus is Scout (Jean) and Jems (Jeremy) father and is one of the most prominent citizens in Maycomb during the great depression Atticus is relatively well off in a time of widespread poverty. Because of his penetrating intelligence, calm wisdom, and exemplary behavior, Atticus is respected by everyone, including the very poor. A person whom everyone in Maycomb turns to in a time of doubt and trouble.
First of all Atticus is looked up to by everyone in Maycomb especially in times if need and trouble when they come to him to help them solve there problems because he is very intelligent because he went to school to become a lawyer. Atticus is also strongly against racism. He is also the only person that will stand up for Tom Robinson a black man charged for raping a white women, witch gets every white person angry at them because he is standing up and helping a black man. "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... until you climb into his skin and walk around in it." This is a quote that Atticus said to Scout in chapter three when he said this I believe he was meaning that you can't tell how someone feels until you get to know them and see things the way they see things.
