Character Analysis Of Atticus In Harper Lee's 'To Kill A Mockingbird'

As I saw Atticus carrying a long electrical extension cord which had a light bulb on the end of it got me confused. Where was he going? I just kept thinking as I laid in bed trying to go to sleep. I glanced over to the clock and saw that it was 10 o’clock. I began to think this isn’t like Atticus to stay out this long. This made me to want to see where he was and what he was doin’.
I didn’t really want Dill and Scout to come with me only cause I didn’t want them getting’ hurt. I knew that Scout wouldn’t give up until I let her go so I just gave in and told them to stay with me.
We found Atticus’s car park in front of the court-house but all the light were off. This confused me. What was Atticus doing then? I was tryin’ to think what Atticus would be doing especially with the light bulb and electrical cord. I was worried about Atticus. He should have told us what he was doing.

I saw a light over at the Maycomb jail which got be stumped cause jail doesn’t have an outside light.

We saw Atticus sitting under the light reading the newspaper, I wonder what he was doing sitting in front of the jail reading. This was very strange for Atticus to be doin’ especially this late at night.
I worried as I saw the cars pull up in front of Atticus. What was about to happen? Scout broke loose of my grasp to run to Atticus. That wasn’t going to end well, Atticus want like this. I could believe what she was doing. Did she want to get

hurt?
I did like this, I just looked up at Atticus, but it wasn’t the type of look I was expectin’ it was like he was afraid. He told us to go home, but I just denied him. Atticus keep going on at me to go home. I was not goin’ until I new he was safe, and he was going to come home.
I knew why he was doin’ this. This all was for Tom Robinson, after hearin’ Reverend Sykes say that he is a good friend to this church. I can see why Atticus was a good friend of the church, no mater what colour they were he would stand up for them and to do everything in his power to make sure they were safe.
Scout started talking to Mr Cunningham about us knowing Walter. She really has high confidence to just come out with that despite us already bein’ in a bigger problem. I watch the men look at Scout with surprise in what she was saying to Mr Cunningham. To my surprise she was the one who made them leave.
