Atticus and Aunt Alexandra are similar because they both have morals. One of Atticus' morals is to be kind to all living things. Miss Maudie says, "I think maybe he put his gun down when he realized that God had given him and unfair advantage over most living things." Aunt Alexandra has morals also. Her morals are that her family is the best and is better than everybody else. In the story it states, "She never let a chance escape her to point out the shortcomings of other tribal groups to the greater glory of our own." This is a similarity between the two. Also both people have an influence on Scout. In the book it states, "Jem and I were accustomed to our father's last-will-and-testament diction, and we were at all times free to interrupt Atticus for a translation when it was beyond our understanding." This is the effect Atticus has on Scout. It also states, "We decided it would be best for you to have some feminine influence." This is the effect Aunt Alexandra has on Scout.
Two differences are the morals they have. Atticus believes that all people are equal and should be treated equally. Aunt Alexandra believes that her family is the best family and everyone else is lesser. These are complete opposites. Another difference they have is the influence they have on Scout. Atticus teaches Scout to be kind to people. He also teaches her advanced vocabulary. Aunt Alexandra teaches Scout how to act like a woman and to act superior to other people.
Atticus is Scout's father. He teaches her how she should act and vocabulary. The effect this has on Scout is that she is very mature for her age and also very smart. This is because of what Atticus teaches her. Aunt Alexandra comes to live with Scout and Atticus to try to be a mother figure. The effect she has on Scout is that Scout becomes more aware of prejudices that people can have. Scout also learns about her family history. Aunt Alexandra teaches Scout these things.
