How Is Atticus Finch Similar

122 Words1 Page

As I read To Kill a Mockingbird I couldn’t help but notice the similarities of Atticus Finch and my pastor, Scott Bollinger. I wanted to experience how it felt to be in Atticus’s skin. I feel that Pastor Scott portraits similar characteristics to Atticus. Both Atticus and Scott seem very humble, soft spoken, display a calm demeanor, and turned the other cheek to avoid quarrels. These men respect everyone without reflecting on color, class or gender. Their lifestyles have no bias toward not respecting others. They are examples of how I want others to look at me in the future. For these reasons I chose to shadow Pastor Scott Bollinger. I was able to observe his life from a new perspective. .

    To Kill a Mockingbird is full of heart wrenching and painful moments that shaped and defined each and every inhabitant of Maycomb, Alabama. Atticus Finch, the father of the main protagonist, once said, "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view--until you climb into his skin and walk around in it," (Lee 51). This was a lesson he taught to Scout, the narrator and main protagonist of the story. Scout never fully grasps the idea of this concept until the very end of the story, but throughout the story she exhibits this lesson and is empathetic without even knowing it. No character felt others emotions quite like Scout, even if it was right away, a little while after, or even the whole book.
