True or false Jem and Scout had a renewed respect for their father after he killed Tim Johnson?

Answer 1

This statement is true. Before this incident, Jem and Scout thought that their father just could not do anything. After he shoots the mad dog, they realize that he can do many things well (like when he had the best shot in all of Maycomb), but he is just very modest about it.

Answer 2

True. Jem and Scout gained a renewed respect for their father, Atticus, after he expertly handled the situation by shooting Tim Johnson, the rabid dog, showcasing his marksmanship skills and courage. This event also allowed them to see another side of their father, as a man capable of taking action when necessary.
