1) I think Atticus follows Subjuctive Norms because he wants his kids to grow up with structure and he doesn't want them running around like the Ewells kids. I also think that Atticus follows a Personal Norm also because keeps to himself and doesn't talk about his past. Like when his kids where told that his nickname was Ol' One-Shot he didn't talk about it because he was ashamed that he did what he had in the past. Also he will not do certain things with his children or some else because of what he believes is standard behavior.
2) Three people that break some norm is Ms. Dubose, Scout, and Jem. Ms Dubose yells to Jem and Scout that their father is a n-lover. Nobody ever said that you could not defend a black man and it is Atticus job to do that.Most people do not act that way because it is very rude. Scout breaks a norm when she started to beat up Walter Cunningham because she said they got off on the wrong foot. Her father had not told her yet that she couldn't fight anyone but, no one goes around just beating other kids up. Jem broke a norm because he was tired of hearing Ms. Dubose talk about Atticus in the way that she was and so he took Scouts baton and ruined all her flowers and bushes. No one had ever told Jem that he could not ruin all of Ms. Dubose flowers but it is not something you would expect someone to do when they get angry.
