Scout admires many things about her father, but most significantly I believe that she admires Atticus' honesty. Throughout the novel, Scout approaches her father with questions and feels comfortable expressing her feelings to him. Atticus is always honest with his children and always responds to Scout's questions. Atticus tells Scout the meaning of terms such as "nigger-lover" and "rape," and explains certain aspects concerning the Tom Robinson case. Scout trusts that her father will not lie to her and appreciates the fact that she has a parent who is honest. Atticus' honesty significantly influences Scout's moral development and gives her insight into her community. Scout learns about the prevalent prejudice throughout Maycomb and comes to her father with various questions. Scout values the fact that she has an honest father who will give her accurate, true information.
