Personal Response: Which To Kill A Mockingbird Character did i like best

The character that i liked the best in the book was Atticus Finch. I like him the best because of his character and the way he handles situations. For example, he wanted to protect an African American in the court because he felt that someone should help him because all the other lawyers did not want to defend him because he was a black. When the whites in Maycomb County heard that Atticus was defending the Negro most of the whites were disgusted and called him a n*gger-lover. However, Atticus stood up for his belief that everyone should be treated and even though he was taunted for what he was doing he still wanted to defend the African American because of his belief. Atticus was also very humble because even though he was the best shot in Maycomb County he never told his children and never boasted about his skill to other people. This is the reason why i like him more than the other characters in To Kill A Mockingbird.
