What is tolerance? Well to me tolerance is something that you don’t want to happen but you let it happen anyways. Tolerance is important today because if a child molester wants to teach you wouldn’t want to hire him. Scout, ms.dubose, and Arthur “boo” Radley all show tolerance in one part of the book or another. I’m going to talk about it.

At first people see scout as one of the boys but in reality she is just a little girl that wants to come out of her shell. Scout is an unreliable character because she sometimes exaggerates about things. Here is a quote for example, “call a little louder, Jack finch and they’ll hear you at the post office.” She exaggerates there because if jack finch yells they still won’t hear him at the post office. Scout shows tolerance by willing to tolerate the comments about Boo Radley when in reality she knows the actual truth.

People think ms.dubose as a mean old lady, nobody want to talk to her. People think that she is just a mean old lady that doesn’t like company but in reality what they don’t know about her is that she once was a morphine addict. Ms. Dubose is a nice lady to atticus because he is know to be a very kind loving person. Atticus once greeted her and she responded with a “hello” and he also complimented her on her rose buds. Atticus looks up to ms.dubose because she is a hero to him. That is an example of her being nice to a kind gentleman like atticus. She shows tolerance by not taken pain killers to calm her pain because she will become an addict again. She stops taking it because she wants people to know and remember as a nice person and not an addict as everyone would think.

To people boo radley is a scary person like the boogey man under your bed. Him and his house is like place in your town where you can run from one sided of the house to another because you are scared of the place. Boo radley is a nice person because he just wants to make friends and not enemies with his little town of maycomb. An example of that is when he saves Jem and scout from getting seriously hurt by Bob Ewell. He also leaves them gifts in the little knot-hole in the tree. He shows tolerance by letting people talk bad about him but he doesn’t care because he knows what he really is like.
