                (TS) Have you ever thought of old Atticus Finch, from the book To Kill a Mockingbird, to be a quiet hero? (SD) I think Atticus is a great quiet hero because when he is put into tough spots in life, like when Tom Robinson died, he always knows the perfect thing to do.(CM)  Back in the beginning of the book, there was an old dog named Tim Johnson, and he was so old and he was becoming sick and he needed to be put out. (CM) Know body in the town knew what to do except Atticus, and he came with the gun and he shot Tim to stop another problem that could have happened. (SD) Atticus was also known in the town of Macomb for being a very hard worker. (CM) I the small town of Maycomb, Atticus was a lawyer and most cases were nothing of great excitement but he works vigorously. (CM) His two kids Jem and scout sometimes get curious about what he is doing when he is working so they go into town to see him but for the most part he is just sitting at his desk hard at work. (SD) Atticus always knows what to say in bad predicaments. (CM) When Tom Robinson was killed he always knew the right thing to say. (CM) Just like every situation, “it depends on how you look at it” and that is basically how Atticus thought all of the time. (CS) Atticus was a really great man but to me it think he was a great quiet hero.
