Atticus is a great father in a different way from the standered we have set. Atticus doesn't have strict rules or discipline but he loves his kids he is afraid that if he attacks them with alot of rules then they wont love him. The fact that with strict rules they can't learn themselfs worries him to. You can really tell this on page 34 when he say " just forget it..." about Aunt Alexendra's rules.

Atticus is like my parents in some ways and not in others. My parents let me go and stuff alone, simular to atticus. They are different in the way that I am 14 abd not 8. Also, my parrents know what is happening in all of their kids life, unlike Atticus.
