In chapter 5 he teaches Jem a lesson about putting yourself in someone else's shoes. Chapter 9 shows his good morals and his justiceness.It also shows how he is straight forward and honest with his children. It also shows his respect and that he is wise. Begining of chapter 10.

-wizerwordz- answered Wednesday August 18 2004, 11:53 am: Wow, i had to do quite a few essays on this book last year. Fortunately, i remember some examples from the book about this. UNfortunately, I don't remember the exact chapters everything was in.
Sorry if these arent in order, but i'll give some examples:
1. Scout says Atticus is a gentleman for shooting Tim Johnson (the dog) and ridding the town of that danger.
2. As Atticus is leaving the courtroom from Tom Robinson's trial, ALL the negroes stand up (showing respect because Atticus was a good man and tried his best to help Tom, something no one else would have done)
3. Bob Ewell spit in Atticus' face the next time he saw him after the trial, but Atticus did nothing about it giving a good reason for it (he said it was worth not doing anything if it saved Mayella Ewell from another beating from Bob)
4. After Boo Radley saved the kids from Bob Ewell, Atticus agreed to not tell anyone about it, because Boo wouldn't like attention from the town (I think that showed Atticus is very understanding)
I hope this helps you out.
If I remember anything else from the book about Atticus' character, i'll update this.
barthez4 answered Wednesday August 18 2004, 11:42 am: really they all do, but probably the beginning. the great thing about that book is that you see atticus' character more through his actions and his beliefs. if i had the book with me, i'd be more specific than just "the beginning", but you shouldn't just go by physical description because of his good character.

lovelyrita answered Wednesday August 18 2004, 11:42 am: It's been nearly ten years since I last read that book, but I remember this part in the movie where someone spits in his face and he "turns the other cheek", like in the Christian Bible. I honestly don't remember if that exact scene is in the book as well, but there are many examples of him "turning the other cheek" in a less literal sense.
