Scout says that Atticus was feeble?

Answer 1

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 is feeble because he didnt play football as other dads of her contemporaries and when ever Jem wanted to tackle him Atticus would say ''I'm to old for that,son''.I think this is her point of view when she was younger because she didnt understand much and when Atticus shot old Tim Johnson she wanted to tell every one at school but Jem told her if Atticus wanted them to know about it he would of told them.Scout doesnt think this after Atticus shot the dog because now she knew he was the deadest shot in May Comb ..
