Perspective of Atticus
Hello,
I think that my life is passing by too quick. My little daughter is growing up so fast right in front of my eyes. Also my son is in 7th grade already. I remember when he was in 2nd like my daughter. Now I have a court case where I have to defend a negro. This is going to be a hard case because everyone hates Negros here in Maycomb. Cecil Jacobs is one of the people that has a big hate for Negros. He always torments them and his tyranny against them is something I don't like to comment on. I myself am fine with Negros around me. That is why I decided to defend tom Robinson. I feel that my decision could be a bit more quibbling. Negros shouldn't be treated how they are because they are humans just like us. Now that I have taken this case every keeps calling me a nigger-lover. I am trying my best to evade these people but they are everywhere. Almost everyone in town is calling me that name. I am trying to be a chameleon and avoid Cecil Jacobs. Also I want my children to avoid him to so they don't have a bad influence.
I want my kids to stop annoying Boo and realize that he is a nice person, after all he gave my daughter a blanket while she was freezing. He isn't mean or scary and he won't kill anyone. The stories of him are mostly fake. The reason he is probably scared is because everyone is scared of him. He thinks if he comes out he will be avoided and tormented.
