Character Relationships

         The two characters I chose are Atticus and Aunt Alexadra. These characters as the book goes on play bigger roles in Scout's life. For instance, Aunt Alexadra is suppose to act as a feminine influence on Scout. "We decided that it would be best for you to have a feminine influence." Also what Aunt Alexadra does for Scout and Jem is that she teaches them about the past of the Finch's. Onto the next person who is Atticus. Atticus has a major role in this book in my opinion. His role is Scout's father. This is probably one of the characters that has a crucial role but isn't the main character. He has basically raised Scout exactly how he wanted, just like him. Which isn't really too good because Scout is a girl but is a tomboy.

          The differences that Atticus and Aunt Alexadra are not really hard to notice. For starters they influence scout in different ways. Atticus is raising her as he wants her to be and Aunt Alexadra is raising her the way she wants her to be. Aunt Alexadra doesn't like the fact that she is a tomboy so she is over there house know to act as the feminine influence which Scout already has which is Calpurnia. Another difference that they have is that Aunt Alexadra gives a life lesson before it happens and Atticus kinds of let's it happen then he gives out the life lesson. I'm not really sure what way is more effective.

            These two characters are thought of differently because of exactly how they are spoken of in the book. I to be honest dislike Aunt Alex with a deep passion just because of the way she is presented. However, she has her reasons for the way she is. Just like Atticus, he is a likable charter in the book because of the way he protects Tom Robinsonl. Although these characters are different they share similar qualities and the biggest one is that they say and are confident in what they believe in.
