Atticus is the father of Jem and scout along with the boss of Calpurnia. Atticus seems to be motivated by his children. He expresses his need to provide for his family by working as a lawyer. Atticus doesn't seem to have any weaknesses so far, but he does have many strengths. When Scout was upset about him teaching her to read, he identified the problem and fixed it. I was a little bit surprised how his children refer to him as Atticus or sir rather than dad, father, etc. this represents how Atticus stands for equality among all by putting his children on the same level as himself. In addition, whenever Scout or Jem ask about the Radleys he says to mind their own business and to not bother them. I predict that Atticus will play an important role in the story and act as an equalizer within his family and the whole town.
