friend in some situations. Scouts teacher informed her that she was not to have reading
lessons at home with her father, this angered Scout, and pushed her into disliking school.

job, that lasts your life. As you could imagine, Atticus may have wanted a break, so he
simply became a friend. As a companion, his children trusted him and were able to

starry night a mob of towns men confronted him, Jem and Scout , knew that their father
was in trouble, and came to his aid. Scout was able to turn the spot light off of her father
and ?safe him?.
As a father and companion Atticus understood his children?s need of expression.
He was aware that a person?s emotion?s are capable to build up. In some situation?s Jem
and Scout were able to state their feelings. When Scout was upset that school had not
been what she thought, Atticus allowed her to express her feelings toward school. Jem
had different ways of expression that sometimes upset people, but he still did. Mrs.
Dubose was disliked by Jem, and one day she pushed him to the point where he ruined
her flowers. Both children both able to express themselves, but it was not always positive
expression.
