IT home learning

Who would you want to be friends with in the novel? Explain.
I would want to be friends with Atticus Finch.
I would want to be friends with Atticus Finch as he was a democratic person. He treated everybody with due respect, regardless of the person's skin colour, race, or religion, and opposed towards prejudice towards the blacks. I think this is important as it shows that Atticus Finch treated people fairly and judged people only according to their deeds I would not not want a person who treated people or me unfairly. Furthermore, with an unfair person as a friend, my image would be potrayed as if I was an unfair person too.
I would want to be friends with Atticus Finch as he was also a polite and friendly person. He always greeted Mrs. Dubose when coming back from work. Despite Mrs Dubose constant insults towards Atticus, Atticus never retorted Mrs Dubose and remained gracious the whole time. This shows that Atticus was a friendly and polite person. I find it much easier to talk to a polite and friendly person compared to a rude and bad tempered person. Friendships between me and and Atticus would last long. Hence, I would want to be friends with Atticus Finch.
Atticus Finch was also determined to admire the good while understanding and forgiving the bad. Atticus Once told Scout that a person has both good and bad qualities, and that she had to step into a person's shoes to understand the person. Atticus shows he was an understanding person here. I would like to be friends with Atticus as I wished for a friend that would understand that I have bad qualities and forgive my bad qualities.
In conclusion, I would like to be friends with Atticus.
