Atticus Outline
I. Introduction
A. I believe Atticus is a good parent for Jem and Scout.
B. Atticus is a lawyer for the town of Maycomb and has two children, Jem, a boy, and Scout, a girl. Scout acts like a tomboy. Everyone who lives in the town has lived there for a very long time and because the town is little, everyone is in each otherʼs business and knows everything about one another. Every summer a little boy named Dill comes down to play with Jem and Scout. They are all really curious about one of their neighbors, Boo Radley and his background. They are always trying to come up with ways of how to get him to come out of his hous because people say he looks like a monster. Tom
Robinson is accused of raping one of the familyʼs daughters in Maycomb and
Atticus becomes his lawyer. People start turning against him and the children have a hard time dealing with it.
C. I believe Atticus is a good parent because he acts like he knows what heʼs doing and he lays down the rules to Jem and Scout.
II. Body Paragraph 1
A. I believe Atticus is a good parent because whenever Jem would bother Atticus about the Radleyʼs, Atticus would always say to stay off somebody elseʼs property. B. Dill, Jem, and Scout want to get Boo Radley to come out of his house. There had been rumors going around saying that his face was stained with blood with a long scar going across his face and he had rotton, yellow teeth.
C. Scout says, “...when Jem would question him Atticusʼs only answer was for him to mind his own business and let the Radleyʼs mind theirs, they had the right to....” (11).
D. Atticus taught Jem and Scout to stay out of someone elseʼs business when it doesnʼt involve them which is a good parenting skill. This helps prove that
Atticus is a good parent.
E.
III. Body Paragraph 2
A. I believe Atticus is a good parent because he cares about the safety of his
children.
B. Jem, Dill, and Scout were acting out the stories they have heard about Boo
