The story finally argues that the love of a parent is powerful enough to overlook nature’s flaws. Mario Garcia’s short story, “Poolman”, argues that although society may believe that raising a disabled child is a tragic sacrifice, it is mutually beneficial. The story explains Jose’s devotion to Michael who “needed constant attention, constant vigilance.” Although he was only seven, Jose knew that “there was no end in sight” (Garcia 5). It doesn’t matter to Jose that Michael has disabilities; Jose still has unconditional love for Michael, and he enjoys raising him like how any father would enjoy raising their child. Everything that Michael’s father does is in a positive effort to help Michael to be a normal kid.
To Kill a Mocking Bird by Harper Lee Published in 1960 The Differences between the Ewell’s and the Finches Atticus Finch and Bob Ewell are the fathers of the two different families which I am comparing despite all the differences they do share some things in common. Both Atticus and Bob are single parents and are both involved in the court case of Tom Robinson, however on different opposing sides and they are both known well in their society. Both families were hit hard by the depression and had very little money or riches left on their family name, but apart from these few points the Ewells and the Finches couldn’t be any more different. Harper lee uses the differences between the Finch family and the Ewell family to expand on and to show the different themes of racism and prejudice in the novel. The Finches and the Ewells have very different family lives and have different views on how to look after children.
Atticus Finch has been deemed a hero of justice, a mythological paragon of social activism. But although Atticus admirably defended Tom Robinson. He was no antiracism activist. First, Atticus did not volunteer to defend Tom Robinson; he was given a court order to do so. Then there Atticus’s complacence to racism, clearly portrayed in his confession (regarding defending Tom): “I’d hoped to get through life without a case of this kind…” This is not to dismiss Atticus’s fine attributes: He is a good father, treats all (black and white) with respect, and practices patient humility.
I have chosen Meshak as the main character because, although he might not be a classic main character, he is the one who brings the various small stories together in the end. He is the one who saves Melissa’s baby and takes him to Coram. He knows that Aaron is Melissa’s baby, and he knows that Otis is still alive - he is the only person who knows all this, and yet he doesn’t tell anyone, because he wants to protect Aaron. He is also quite an interesting character because of the way he thinks of some of the other characters, and how he is treated in return. I think his appearance did convey his personality quite well in a way.
Therefore, the black community in Maycomb was crippled with fear. A fear that they will get lynched for a crime they did not commit. Stereotyping is a human instinct. We will always stereotype people's race, class and families. When Aunt Alexandra lived with the Finches, she said this to Scout about the Cunninghams, "Because he is trash, that's why you cant play with him.
He sets a great example to them by doing the right thing and teaches them to not discriminate like he did not discriminate Tom Robinson, Atticus treats people with respect and is rarely rude to people, and if his children make a wrong decision and does something bad he does not beat them, which was common back in the day, or raise his voice at them allowing them to learn the right things on their own. Atticus Finch, a lawyer and devoted father, has the ability to see past the ill in people and teaches his children the same qualities. He provides his children with an education and allows them to develop their own personalities by giving them more freedom than the average child but also influencing them by his actions. A good sign that you a caring parent is through their children. Throughout the story you can
I think Atticus is a good model for an ideal parent because he caring, shows great courage throughout the book. Also I think he's a good father because he always wanted the best for his kids. Atticus was a good father to jem and scout, mainly because he had to be. As an only parent, Atticus had all the responsibility to look after his children and raise them well. He taught them some of life's valuable lessons and morals to go by.
Although Forrest is exposed to foreign situations and new types of people, his will to do what is right always prevails. As previously mentioned Forrest was taught not to question things- including the good morals and values his mother installed in him. Forest is the true innocence of the film. For example, he never knew his father, yet he never questioned or wondered about him. His innocence was to such an extreme, that he believed his mother when she said his father was on vacation.

• As a father Atticus can be said to be a great father. He is generally loving and caring towards his children, he guides them through right and wrong always, and he tries to make them morally strong as he is. He shows intelligent parenting, when Scout starts swearing, Atticus doesn’t punish her or tell her not to, knowing that this would just make her swear more, instead he leaves her to keep swearing until she herself realizes it’s the wrong thing to do. He does not do it because he is careless or it does not matter to him what his children do, he
