TKAM- Character Relationships

                                      Similarities/Differences To Each Other    

     In the last couple of chapter's Aunt Alexandra has been introduced more properly. Atticus and Aunt Alexandra may have a lot of differences but there are some similarities. Now the obvious similarity is that they both want wants best for Scout and Jem, no doubt about that. In the same way how ever their version of whats best for them is completely different. First Aunt Alexandra wants Scout to be more like a girl. She also wants them to believe that they are better than everybody else. While Atticus wants her to be herself and treat others with respect no matter what they do to you. In rare occasions they will end up agreeing with each other on certain situations, but not much. Another  difference is that Alexandra is more of a snob and is very annoying when it comes to manners. With Atticus he believes that everyone is equal and he wants his children to think of other people the same way he does. 

                                                 Relationship To Scout 

     Atticus has a strong relationship with Scout. He has a strong relationship with scout is because he is her father, he never was a mean person. She looked up to him as well, he also gives special advice to Scout that would help her in future problems. Alexandra however seemed very annoying to Scout, she always hated her especially when she would make to act like a lady. So most of the time she just tries to avoid her as much as she can. 

                                                     Effects On Scout 

     Atticus has a great effect on Scout, he is always trying to keep her positive and not let her worry about what other people say. She thinks he is very wise, mostly about the advice he gives her. Overall Atticus does a great job on effecting Scout in a positive way. Alexandra is completely different from Atticus. Alexandra gives more of a negative Effect on Scout, she always speaks to her as if she were a dog. Always wanting her to change the way she acts like, this is destroying Scout emotionally. Scout has stated that she would run away because she would always talk about her with Atticus. In general she effects scout in a negative way and I hope she stops soon before Scout starts believing what she says.
