In the book "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee, Atticus is the mentor of the main character, Scout. Scout is also his daughter. He mainly teaches them life lessons throughout the book.
An example of this is on page 65, when Atticus finds Jem, Scout, and Dill playing a game; Which made fun of Boo Radley. " 'Son,' he said to Jem, 'I'm going to tell you something and tell you one time: stop tormenting that man. That goes for the other two.' " Atticus then tells the kids whatever Boo Radley did was his own business and to not make fun of him.
Another example is on page 292. This is after the event where Mr. Ewell came up to him and spat in his face. At dinner, Jem admits he's afraid for Atticus. Atticus then replies to both Jem and Scout " 'Jem, see if you can stand in Bob Ewell's shoes a minute. I destroyed his last shred of credibility at that trial, if he had any to begin with." With this reply, he taught Jem and Scout not to judge or hate people due to their actions; To think for a second and try to see things from their perspective.
Atticus is a very honest and wise man . He is always showing Scout and her brother the more positive and better views/solutions to things.
