Besides that, Atticus tries to provide his children with clear and honest answers to their questions: “When a child asks you something, answer him, for goodness’ sake. Children are children, but they can spot an evasion quicker than adults, and evasion simply muddles ‘em.” Jean Louise also develops from a little bright and active child first into a hooligan fighting with boys and using foul language then due to her Aunt’s efforts into a girl wearing dresses. Jean-Louise tells about that time the following: “The adults in Maycomb never discussed the case with Jem and me; it seemed that they discussed it with their children, and their attitude must have been that neither of us could help having Atticus for a parent, so their children must be nice to us in spite of him. The children would never have thought that up for themselves: had our classmates been left to their own devices, Jem and I would have had several swift, satisfying fist-fights apiece and ended the matter for good.
