Atticus made him go read because he knew that Jem would learn a lesson, he also knew Dubose was sick and needed something to keep her busy. Atticus said, “Nobody’s about to make you go anywhere but to bed pretty soon. I’m just going over to tell Miss Rachel you’re here…” (Lee 88). Atticus could’ve easily called Dill’s parents and sent him back home but since he treats Dill as a son of his own and he knew how much it meant to all of them that Dill could stay. There are many other events in the book that shows how Atticus values his family but those are just a few. His family is probably the most important thing to him next to his job.
