Well, the camellia Mrs. Dubose gave him symbolized appreciation for distracting her from her fits since she knew she only had a few months left on Earth. She wanted to rest in peace and the camellia is a form of "thank you" or "forgive me". She didn't want him to feel like she hated him.

Atticus says that she was the most courageous person he's ever met because she demonstrated real courage. He says the word courage is not a man with a gun in his hand. He also tells Jem that it was Mrs. duboses way to say that everything is alright now.

Atticus and Heck Tate (the sheriff) initially disagree over how to handle the situation with Bob Ewell’s death. With whom do you agree, and why?

The sheriff insists continually that Mr. Ewell fell onto his knife and killed himself, which irritates Atticus, who wants Jem to be treated as fairly as anyone else and not has exceptions made. After much arguing, finally, the sheriff yells out that he's not trying to protect Jem (he is trying to protect Boo). The sheriff urges Atticus, this once, to accept the situation even if it's not perfect according to law: Mr. Ewell was responsible for Tom's death, and the sheriff urges Atticus to "let the dead bury the dead." He says that it would be a sin to drag shy Boo Radley out into the limelight, and declares officially that Mr. Ewell fell on his own knife. Atticus, deeply moved by this revelation, asks Scout if she understands. Scout assures him that she does, explaining that having it another way would be like shooting a mockingbird. Atticus looks at Scout with a sense of wonder, and thanks Boo for the lives of his children.


In to kill a mockingbird how is Atticus's parenting style?

Atticus is a wise man, committed to justice and equality, and his parenting style is based on fostering these virtues in his children-he even encourages Jem and Scout to call him "Atticus" so that they can interact on terms as equal as possible. Throughout the novel, Atticus works to develop Scout's and Jem's respective consciences, through both teaching, as when he tells Scout to put herself in a person's shoes before she judges them, and example, as when he takes Tom Robinson's case, living up to his own moral standards despite the harsh consequences he knows he will face. Atticus is a kind and loving father, reading to his children and offering them comfort when they need it, but he is also capable of teaching them harsh lessons, as when he allows Jem to come with him to tell Helen Robinson about Tom's death. At the end of the novel, when Atticus believes that Jem killed Bob Ewell, he tries to talk Heck Tate, the sheriff, out of calling the death an accident-Atticus's standards are firm, and he does not want his son to have unfair protection from the law.
