The Moderate White
Im really confused about which I think Atticus is, a moderate white or someone who is willing to fight for justice. Im pretty sure that he falls into the second category. But I really cant decide because he is portrayed as a man who stands back and watches, but I think there's more to him than that. He fought for Tom Robinson full heartedly and I think if he was a person that waited for change, he wouldn't have tried to protect him so much. This assignments also makes me wonder what am. I would like to think of myself as someone that would have stood up for someone whom was being treated badly as I usually do, but something so scary as being thrown in jail and tortured, I wonder what I would do. If I could have the strength to stand up for justice.

Yeah, there are two sides to this topic. It's as if when you decide on a certain argument, countless counter-arguments seem to change your mind. At first, I believed that Atticus could be "white moderate" but like you said, there's is more to him than meets the eye. There is no right or wrong answer as long as you have evidence as to why you believe this. Hope this helps!
