Question

(to kill a mocking bird, chapter 2 and 3)

Atticus intervenes in Scout's life several times in this section. Briefly summarize these incidents and analyze Atticus' role as a parent.
What philosophy does he seem to have about parenting? What talents as a parent does he reveal in these episodes? What does he seem to lack?

Answer 1

Atticus is very smart and knowledgable. His parenting style is sitting back and watching Scout and Jem figure it out by themselves. He will only interfere if they ask him a question or they mess up, then he will correct them.
