Maycomb County, Alabama- After talking to Atticus Finch, a father to two kids, we found out some very interesting information about him and his personal life. When we heard all the talk going around town about him defending a Negroe, we just had to interview him. We tried asking him a few questions about the Tom Robinson case but when we asked, Atticus said, “I’m sorry, but I can not talk about this subject.” Atticus was very jumpy when we asked about his case so we backed off and didn’t ask him anything else.
