She also sees a different side to him that she didn’t recognize, when her aunt Alexandra had him talk to Scout and Jem about what it meant to be a Finch. Atticus was very strict and serious. He yelled at Scout to stop the noise with her brush. Scout was stung by his curtness. One more that was very noticeable to Scout was whenever Atticus talked about Tom Robinson and the court case he gets very stern and focused. He doesn’t talk about it much with Scout or Jem, he keeps to himself about it. The other side to Atticus is his happy and fatherly side. Atticus always comforts Scout when she is sad or scared. He always makes time to hear about her day and smiles at all the fun things she did. Atticus always talks sweetly and kind to Scout, he doesn’t act or talk grumpy or rude to her. Scout has an encounterwith Mrs. Dubose. she sees Mrs Dubose’s angry side, whenever Scout passed by her house with Jem she would always yell at them no matter what.
