I live in Maycomb ( http://www.enotes.com/to-kill-a-mockingbird/class-system-maycomb-county ) with my two children Jem and Scout Finch, but enough about me let me tell you about my case on Mr. Tom Robinson.
Before my case on Tom Robinson, went to trial there was alot of bad talk about me. By defending a coloured man the people in Maycomb had thought i had lost my mind. I took the case because everyone in their life has one "case" that effects them and the Tom Robinson case was mine. Being a good lawyer and a father is not always an easy thing to do but i get along, my two children come first and with this case they heard alot of talk. My daughter, Scout came to me one day cry'n because of something Mrs. Dubose had said about me, i told her that she and Jem would be hearing alot of nasty talk bout her daddy because he's doing something most people won't, but it didn't mean I'm not the same Atticus. I had heard a few days ago from Jack that Scout and Francis got in a bit of a tiff over something that was said about me. Jack filled me in that Francis said i was a "nigger lover". I want Scout to see people will say things when they are mad or don't understand why someone does something, so they don't know what to say. this will all clear up soon.
