Like all young children, Scout (and Jem) did not see their father very clearly. To kids, a parent is either a saint or failure. They don't see parents' conflicts or even their feelings. Scout thought Atticus was weak because she didn't see his inner and deliberate strengths.
Scout says that "Atticus was feeble". Do you think that this is her view as she tells the story or her view when she was younger? Does she still think this after the events recorded in this chapter?
In Scout's eyes, Atticus's chief fault is that he is too old, doesn't play football, and doesn't engage in "typical" father-daughter activities. She sees him as lacking in traditional masculine qualities and finds it difficult to understand his approach to parenting.
In "To Kill a Mockingbird," Scout doesn't call her father Atticus feeble. She does notice that he is older than other fathers, but she admires him and doesn't see him as feeble. Scout looks up to Atticus for his wisdom and moral strength throughout the novel.
Atticus says this in To Kill a Mockingbird.
no it says somewhere in the beginning when scout asks her dad if they were poor and atticus says yes
She says that Atticus teaches her!
She says that Atticus teaches her!
Scout wishes her dad did more and was younger.
he says that they were just upset people and racist
Yes, Scout is Atticus's daughter.
Scout didn't like the fact that Atticus was old because he says " Our father didn't do anything" (chapter 10) and Scout feels like his father can't do anything useful but it is then shown later in the book that Atticus has the best shot in maycomb and Scout and Jem are quite shocked.
Scout says that Atticus sees God as "an old man with a long, white beard" and she describes this image as being similar to the common depiction of God in children's storybooks.
