Tolerance inside to Kill a MOCKING Bird

How to kill a Mocking Bird is a book where you may get many facts and symbols from everyday life. The author is Harper Lee he writes about the small town of Maycomb, Alabama. Which he tells a wonderful and meaningful story.

In How to Kill a Mocking Bird tolerance and ambiguity is a big part in this novel First off tolerance means beholding a certain amount of something inside of you. Which also follows about being able to accept something good or bad. Ambiguity is able of being able to understand in more then one way. Basically it is the value you have for ones self and the way other’s may tend to see you. Tolerance is still important till this day. The reasoning for that is because it helps the world either good or bad. Good ways would be to not really hold grudges with people and accept certain situations and issues.

Harper Lee shows tolerance throughout the book in many characters. The one person that I see tolerance in a lot would have to be Scout. Scout is the narrator of this novel but shows and tells many sides of the story. In chapter 28 on page 259 Scout shows tolerance to me because she says “Naw, ill just keep it on I could hide my mortification under it”. To me she is embarrassed but yet she will still go on with what she must do to go home.

Secondly Mrs. Dubose has tolerance within her also Chapter 11 on page 102 Mrs. Dubose says “you just be a gentleman, son” this shows that she cares about Jem and Scout. Jem and Scout really hated her though. Because even if they were nice to her they would still feel as if she hated them. An example would be on chapter 11 page 99. “Hey, Mrs. Dubose” the answer would be “Don’t you say hey to me, you ugly girl you say good afternoon Mrs. Dubose”. But Atticus alway’s told Jem and Scout to be nice and care because she was a very ill old lady.

Lastly the situation I think tolerance would tie into would be when Jem, Scout, and Dil went to Boo Radleys and they all got scared and ran off Jem’s pant’s got snagged an he couldn’t get hem lose so he left them there. He later went back to get them and they were on the Radley fence was Jem’s pant’s sewn. But they were sewn as if a child had done it. Which caused to be thought of Boo Radley? Jem told Dill and Scout “fence by the school yard hurry”. Atticus then asked Jem “where are your pants, son” they ended up lying and Dill said “ah um I wont em from him”. This showed that Boo obviously did it when he came back.
