Atticus Finch and Bob Ewell have contrasting methods of parenting. For example, when Scout is asking about the Ewells, Atticus explains that Bob, “spends his relief checks on green whiskey,”(31) and that, “his children have a way of crying from hunger pains.”(31) If one’s father uses the government's money that was meant for financial support on alcohol instead of for his children, that father can then be considered uncaring and neglectful toward his children. Therefore, the a common denominator is determined: Bob Ewell’s parenting style is that of being ‘uninvolved.” On the other hand, when Atticus finds out that the children are imitating the Radleys he says that they were, “putting his life’s history on display for the edification of the neighborhood.”(50), but only after telling them to stop tormenting Arthur “Boo” Radley.
