Please enjoy the following student’s reflection.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Atticus would fit the personality on an ISFJ, or \u201cThe Defender\u201d. He fits many strengths and some of the weakness of this type. To begin, he is patient. In the end of chapter 22, he is spit on by Bob Ewell. Following this in chapter 23, Mrs. Stephanie Crawford explains how Atticus reacted, by \u201ctook out his handkerchief and wiped his face\u201d. The event shows Atticus\u2019s patience towards Bob Ewell because Bob Ewell tried to humiliate Atticus and he remained unruffled and did not strike back in revenge. <\/span><\/p>\n In addition, he also showed his patience in the courtroom with Mayella. She began to cry and get emotional while Atticus was calling her \u201cMiss Mayella\u201d. In this situation, he exhibited his patience by allowing her to finish before starting the next question <\/span>and did not get angry after she became upset multiple times. <\/span><\/p>\n Another strength of the ISFJ personality type Atticus possesses is supportiveness. The 16 personalities website says that being supportive means that they \u201cshare knowledge, time, and energy with anyone who needs it, and all the more so with friends and family\u201d. Atticus fulfills this characteristic by sharing with Scout many pieces of advice which she takes into account later in the book, such as courage and to step in other people\u2019s shoes. <\/span>Scout implements the second piece of advice in chapter 26 when she thinks of how Boo Radley must see the kids tormenting him while trying to contact him. <\/span><\/p>\n These pieces of advice help for Atticus this personality in through a strength of good practical skills. This trait entails using their altruism to help care for others. In the book, he cares for multiple people. First he assists Mrs. Dubose by having his kids go over and read to her even though she did not as him to. As is says on page 128, \u201c I told you that if you hadn\u2019t lost your head I\u2019d have made you go read to her.\u201d By doing this, she would have been able to take her mind off her morphine addiction for a bit and it would be easier to endure. This example shows how Atticus cared for for Mrs. Dubose. He also provided aid for Tom Robinson by showing courage and taking the case. His definition of courage was \u201cIt\u2019s when you know you\u2019re licked before you begin but you begin anyways and you see through it no matter what.\u201d (page 128). Atticus displayed this courage by defending Tom Robinson in the trial even though it was a large possibility he would lose because of the racial divisions of the time. He uses this courage to aid Tom Robinson and try to get the jury to declare him not guilty. <\/span><\/p>\n Despite showing the strengths of this personality , Atticus also shows some of the weaknesses. One of these weaknesses is repressing their feelings. In part 1, the kids are often harassed because their father is a \u201cn*gger lover\u201d because he is defending Tom Robinson. Scout and Jem tell Atticus about it and he tells them to ignore them. However, this constant heckling begins to worry him. He is worried about the safety of his kids, and worries about the actual size of the impact this case is having on him. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n All in all, Atticus is a great model of the ISFJ personality for many reasons. He possesses many strengths of the personality such as patience, supportiveness, and strong practical skills. He also possesses a weakness of ISFJ, hiding his feelings. A combination of these traits allows Atticus to be be a great defender for both his kids and Tom Robinson in the book. <\/span><\/p>\n Thank you S.
