Tolerance in the dictionary means to tolerate or being tolerant, especially the views, beliefs, and practices of others that differ from one’s own. Tolerance is important today to be in peace with each other. If we don’t have tolerance we would all be in fights. Many people could die. The author uses Scout as the narrator. She is an unrealizable narrator because she is a little girl. That is showing tolerance because at the time of her writing the book not many women were consider to take the main role in the story. The author is showing more people using tolerance like Mrs. Dubose and Atticus.

Scout is a little girl who is raise up by her father and brother. She only haves Calpurnia as a mother figure. Scout is an unreliable narrator because she is a little innocent girl. She says what ever she has in mind. She does not know some of the things she says are really hard to say as an adult. She shows tolerance when Jem invites Walter to dinner after he stopped her from fighting him. She has to be nice to him. Now she won’t get in fights with him. She also has to tolerate people saying bad things about her father. She can’t go beat everyone up who says bad things about her father. She also stops to bug Boo Radley. She knows that it might have made him mad. In the end of the story she walks Boo Radley to his house. She notices that he gives them a present, but they never have left him a single present. She is a very tolerate person.

Mrs. Dubose is an old lady. She is suffering from a deadly disease that is cancer. She has to take really strong medicine. She calls Scout bad names like, “You should be wearing dresses instead of pants and should clean up much more”. Before she dies she gives Jem a flower. She dies peacefully because she did not die with her strong medicines. She looked like a normal person. She wanted to be remembered as a normal person. She was happy on her last month of life. It was because Jem went to read to her every day. She liked to have a beautiful garden. She looked mean in the outside, but in the inside she is a nice old lady.

Atticus is my hero of the story. He has raise two children all by himself with some help of Calpurnia. It might have been hard to raise a girl like scout. He tries to set a good example for his children. He tries to teach them that black people are just as equal as white people. They should not be judged because of their skin color. He also teaches them not to shoot people. He says “it is a sin to kill a mocking bird. They don’t harm us in anyway. It is remarkable when he tells his children that his hero is Mrs. Dubose. He said that she stood strong during a long time of suffering, and that she is a very strong person.

Now every day we have to tolerate people or things. Toleration is a good thing. We won’t harm each other. It avoids difficult situations like wars. We have to try to get along with each other. To kill a mocking bird has shown us how hard it was to help out a black person back then. The author also showed us that female writers are good. At the time that she was writing this book it was not very popular that women would write books. Also there were not many narrators’ that were little girls. They were always male or male boys but never girls. Scout’s view of the story showed us how a little girl’s point of view is showed. It also showed us that black people were discriminated. They were not slaves but they were still treated like if they did not worth anything. We have not quite learned our lesson. We still have not learned how to tolerate each other.
