Tolerance is recognizing and being able to accept that person. Tolerance is important because if nobody has tolerance there would be more problems. People would be fighting a lot. The economy would not be good at all. The author shows tolerance through many people.

Scout shows tolerance at the end of the novel. She finally accepts boo Radley. She shows Boo Radley respect. She walks him home. She holds his hand when she walks with him. She is nice to him after saving her from Bob.

Harper lee shows tolerance through Mrs. Dubose by making her mean and nasty. We learn tolerance from the way she acts. We find out she is going through a lot of pain. Then she dies. We learn that we should have tolerated her at the end. She died because of cancer.

Atticus is the most tolerant of all the characters. He tolerates everyone that is mean to him. He just walks away. He tolerates people calling him a nigger lover. He says that Mrs. Dubose is his hero. He walks away when bob spits on his face. He helps whoever he can.

There are more characters that show tolerance. Without tolerance there would be more problems. If Atticus did not tolerate bob he would have punched him creating a fight or problem.
