Character Compare and Contrast: TKAM 12.05.14


Aunt Alexandra and Atticus are similar to each other in a few different ways. For one, Atticus and Aunt Alexandra are both sophisticated. They make sure that the kids are well spoken and taken care of. They don't want them to be nosey and rude kids. They are also strict. Atticus doesn't allow his children to do certain things and for most of those things Aunt Alexandra respects and agrees with Atticus. 

Although they have some similarities, Atticus and Aunt Alexandra are different in many other ways. For one, Aunt Alexandra is more for the kids and wants to hangout with them. Atticus is always working and never wants to do things with them like play catch with a football or just hangout out. Atticus is just really busy. He is always working since he is a layer and never has anytime to do things with them. Another way that Atticus and Aunt Alexandra are different is that Aunt Alexandra is more understanding with certain things involving the children. Atticus is more strict than Aunt Alexandra but she is some what strict. The rules that Atticus has are pretty strict because he is a lawyer and he is just trying to make sure his children do good and stay out of trouble. Aunt Alexandra agrees but feels that they should have some freedom and have fun.

Atticus is Scout's dad. He is a lawyer and they live in Maycomb Alabama. Aunt Alexandra is the aunt of Scout, Atticus' sister. She doesn't live in Maycomb but she came to stay with Scout, Jem, and Atticus because they felt that the children needed someone. Aunt Alexandra wanted to also be there for Scout because she thinks Scout needs a "feminine influence". Atticus just thought that they needed someone to be with them when Atticus was gone at work and for during the summer.


Aunt Alexandra is supposed to be the "feminine influence" for Scout since she doesn't have a mom or any other girl role model. She is also there to watch Scout and hang out with her as the year goes on. Atticus is Scouts  father. He lives with her and Jem in Maycomb Alabama. Atticus is a lawyer and he never really spends time with Jem and Scout. Atticus is there to teach her the hit and the wrong on each topic. He teaches her respect and gives her respect. All though he is a tough dad, he does give her some freedoms and allows her to get away with some things. Because of Atticus, Scout is a polite young girl. Yes she does get unit trouble sometimes but for the most part she is a goof child.
