What does Scout learn from her family?

Scout learns from her father Atticus to be respectful to others like Mrs. Dubose, and to always make sure you walk around in someone else's skin before making assumptions about their life and judging them. Also, Mr. Finch took the Tom Robinson case even though he knew that he would loose the case just because he knew that it was the right thing to do. Jem taught Scout how to be brave and strong even in tough situations. For example, Jem was a role model for Scout while bad rumors were going around about their father for taking the Tom Robinson case. He did not show any anger towards the people who were taunting him and Scout, and was ultimately the reason that Scout stopped fighting the people who said the horrible things about her family. Calpurnia taught Scout how to be a proper lady, and so did her aunt.


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

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.
