Atticus Finch is a very modest man. He does not like to expose his abilities to anyone, fearing that it may get in the way of his life's goals. His personality, being a modest person, does not allow him to show off about what he can do. He rather prefers to keep it to himself and use them when necessary, rather than showcasing them for the entire county to see. I personally infer that he wants his children to follow in the same footsteps. Hope this helped. I'm in grade nine and am reading the same book right now for English class. I absolutely love it, don't know why I never read this book before.

-Cheers!
