Similarities Between To Kill A Mockingbird And The Finch Family

My family is similar to and different from the Finch family in several ways. My family includes my mom, my brother, and my dad, and some other close relatives. The Finch family consists of Scout, Jem, Atticus, and Aunt Alexandria. The Finch family in To Kill a Mockingbird is a very dynamic family with lots of different characteristics.

My family is similar to the Finch family because we are both very close. In To Kill a Mockingbird, they all live nearby each other and see each other a lot. In the Finch family, Scout, Jem, and Atticus live together in the same house and they depend on one another a lot. Scout turns to Atticus for comfort and Jem for when she is feeling sad and wants to play. In my family, we see each other for all the holidays and we talk to each other often. We also all live nearby each other so we get to see one another often just like the Finch family.

One of the ways that my family is different from the Finch family is that we seem to be a lot more adventurous. In To Kill a Mockingbird, the Finch family did not leave from there small town at all and they seemed to all live fairly simple and routine

lives, doing the same thing everyday. My family, on the other hand, travels a lot and we go hiking a couple times a year. We go to visit my grandparent’s house several times during the year and we usually like to get out of the house on weekends and go somewhere fun so we don’t just live the same lives week after week.
Another way that we are similar to the Finch family is that we are intelligent.

The Finch family is quite advanced for their time, especially Scout. She could read and write when she was just in the first grade and the rest of her classmates were just starting out. Atticus is also very intelligent. He is the most level headed and kind hearted person in the book. My family is also intelligent because my dad is a therapist and he has his masters degree in psychology so I really look up to him for advice. My grandpa quite an intelligent man as well; he has been a family doctor for pretty much his whole life and he just now retired. He is also wise when he makes decisions and he doesn’t like to argue with other people; he tries to look and the other person’s point of view and see where they are coming from rather than just attacking their

character.
Overall, I think that my family is quite similar to the Finch family. Of course, we have our differences but I believe that my family can really relate to the Finch family. We both are good hearted people and are very close to our family members.
