How might you compare and contrast why Atticus has accepted the Tom Robinson case with what he tells Scout and Jack?

Answer 1

The explination of why he accepted the Tom Robinson case:

He doesn't love evreyone of diffrent colours, but does not hate them either. He believes it is wrong to hate according to a colour. He took the case because it was a case that he felt attached to personally. He felt that if he didn't accept to take the case, then he would never forgive himself and that he would never be able to tell Scout or Jem what to do anymore because his opinion would be tarnished. He didn't know Tom very well, but Calpurnia did, or atleassed was very close to Tom's wife. Atticus took Calpurnias words seriously because he believes they are words he can always count on.

The explination of why he accepted the Tom Robinson case (Scout and Jack):

Atticus did hold back a little while before telling scout and Jem about taking the case, but once he did, he explained why.

Answer 2

Atticus accepted the Tom Robinson case because he believes in standing up for justice and defending the innocent, regardless of societal expectations or consequences. However, when he tells Scout and Jack that he took on the case because he couldn't face his children if he didn't, he is emphasizing the importance of living by his principles and teaching his children to do the same, even in the face of adversity.
