I think that one of the main themes of the book is not to jude a book by its cover. Atticus is the main one trying to teach his kids not jude people and tyring to see things through there eyes. Such as when Atticus was talking to Scout in chapter 3 he said ". . . consider things from things from his point of view." (30) As the book goes on Scout and Jem start to learn what Atticus is tyring to teach them.

Atticus as a father

I think Atticus is a very good foather to Jem and Scout he is always teaching them good morals one of them would be not jude people like when he said to scout "... you never really undersandt a person until you consider things from his point of view" (30) He wanted Scout to try and see things from her teachers point of view. I also think Atticus is more understanding then most other mothers or fathers. i like parents the way they are for the most part but sometimes i wish they were a little more understanding.
