Norms

1. Atticus is most relates to a Subjective Norm. All the people in the town look at him. He is the lawyer that always knows what he is doing. Jem and Scout are follow in his example. He tells them what is right and was is wrong. People in the town know that he would never do anything bad. Atticus is the only person that Jem and Scout will go to. They know that he will always know the answer to lifes problems. Atticus has a vast knowledge and always has wise answer. He is one of the very intelligent persons in Maycomb County.

2. An example of a person that goes out of their norm is Scout. She is out of the implicit Norm. She does not act like a lady. She acts more like a guy and wants to fit in with Dill and Jem. She does not care though that she is unlike all of the other girls. Another example of a person who broke an implicit norm would probably be Atticus shooting the dog. He is not known as a gun slinger for many years. He has moved passed that part in his life but then goes back when he has to shoot the dog. It is not likely to see that type of person shooting a dog. Lastly, another person who was out of their norm would probably be Ms. Dubose. All of the other ladies such as Ms. Maudie were very sweet and charming. Ms. Dubose was always very mean. She was also a morphine addict which was also out of the norm.
