The third time reading this novel and I never tire of it. To quote Cameron Crowe's film "Almost Famous" in reference to Atticus Finch: "He's honest. He stands up for the right thing. And he's a good father." Therefore I award Atticus Finch a mockingbird because in the novel Miss Maudie considered killing a mockingbird a sin. A sin due to a mockingbird never hurt anything, only singing it's heart out. The title "To Kill a Mockingbird" must be taking literally because throughout the book, the reader is presented with characters that embody "mockingbirds" such as Atticus and Boo Radley. Their good nature is corrupted by external evils. This encompassing theme was made evident by the aforementioned quotation from Miss Maudie.
Atticus Finch = Gregory Peck.
Atticus is such a good father. Although, I wonder what he'd say about his parenting skills.
