Atticus

If our democracy is to work in this increasingly diverse nation, then each one of us need to try to heed the advice of a great character in American fiction — Atticus Finch — who said: "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view…until you climb into his skin and walk around in it."

There was a danger of Atticus' land at Buthrotum being confiscated, as Caesar was thinking of planting a colony there.

... yet the tradition of living on the land remained unbroken until well into the twentieth century, when my father, Atticus Finch, went to Montgomery to read law, and his younger brother went to Boston to study medicine.
