The strained father son relationship that Baba and Amir have is the catalyst for Amir’s crime against his half-brother Hassan.

The responder is given as insight into Amir’s thoughts through the use of first person narration, before, during and after the rape. This allows the reader to observe how the strained relationship between Baba and Amir has affected the motivation of Amir to commit his sin. Throughout the early chapter of the book we learn that Amir has “always felt that Baba hatted [him] a little.” He has always longed for his father’s approval, acceptance and admiration, as he feels responsible for the death of his mother.

Her father, Atticus Finch, plays an important part in the story by defending a black person in court. This novel presents two children growing up in a biased community, often discriminated themselves, because of their father's views. Lee portrays courage in the characters of Atticus Finch, Mrs. Dubose and Boo Radley. It takes courage for Atticus Finch to go against people's beliefs in order to do what he believes was morally right. The racist views of the town are against Atticus defending Tom Robinson, a black man accused of raping a white woman, and Atticus is often discriminated against for not agreeing with them.
He shows a lot of courage by defending a Black man in the Maycomb society even though, he knows just how discriminating Maycomb is and that he would lose the case. My research on the context of the novel, (Sparknotes 2015) tells me,’ In 1931, when Lee was five, nine young black men were accused of raping two white women near Scottsboro, Alabama’. Atticus; knew that many of the white people living in
But, he was said to be a servant of the “Black Man.” He watched Hester stand on the scaffold holding their child, with a scarlet letter embroidered on her clothing for all to see, alone. He was too cowardly to stand up and say “Yes, that’s my child, and I am just as guilty as she is.” In the eyes of a Puritan, the devil is the only thing that could keep you from confessing your sins. Evil doesn’t always come with age, but in these circumstances it seems to be unavoidable. Dimmesdale finally comes to the
In To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Atticus portrayed his courage time and time again throughout the novel. He showed his bravery and will to do what was right when he took the Tom Robinson case. Tom was a negro (sic) man accused of raping the daughter of Mr. Ewell. Atticus took the case because he needed to uphold his sense of justice and self-respect to model for his children. Since the story took place in the thirties, racism was heavily prevalent and even children as young as six use the “n” word.
Atticus Finch is ridiculed by the townspeople for being a moral human being and sticking to his beliefs in defending an innocent colored man. As explained by Lee through her characters Tom Robinson, Boo Radley and Atticus Finch, the mockingbird is a symbolic representation of innocence, purity and virtue. To begin, the community of Maycomb basically indirectly murdered Tom Robinson. Despite the fact the man was helpful and kind - especially toward Mayella, who charged him of raping her - Tom was sent to trial and then found guilty even after Atticus Finch had verified his guiltlessness. His responsibility was all based on the color of his skin, not his true moral character.
Atticus Finch, without much support from the others in Maycomb, shows his heroism when he tackles the racism in Maycomb alone. First, the racism in Maycomb is shown through several of the events that happens in the book, then Atticus Finch, gets appointed to defend Tom Robinson, a black person who is accused of raping a white girl, the verdict of the trial is obvious, but through what Atticus does for the trial, even without anyone’s help, Atticus shows his brave, heroic character when he challenges racism in Maycomb despite all the difficulties he has to overcome. The novel, To kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is a classic book which shows the racism against the black population in the 1930s in America through a criminal trial in which a black
One way Atticus displays courage is in his choice to defend Tom Robinson. To Kill a Mockingbird revolves primarily around a court case in which Tom Robinson, a black man, is accused of raping Mayella Ewell, a white woman. When the judge appoints Atticus as Tom’s lawyer, Atticus actually tries to defend Tom, knowing full well that the case was already lost. He becomes disliked by many in Maycomb for choosing to defend a black man, yet he continues to provide Tom with his full support and legal counsel. He does all this just because he believes that “The one place where a man ought to get a square deal is in a courtroom, be he any color of the rainbow.” This shows the
