There are many meanings of tolerance. Some people use tolerance as an action. You can have the tolerance to put up with someone. Another meaning of tolerance is accepting others differences. You can have the tolerance to accept someones differences or faults.

In the story “To Kill A Mocking Bird” the characters use tolerance. In the story there is a character named scout. Scout is a young ordinary little girl. She uses tolerance because she is really friendly. She is friendly to her maid who is African American. Scout is very patient, she tolerates wearing a dress in the beginning of the story even though she doesn’t like wearing dresses.

Another character in the story is Ms. Dubose. She doesn’t have tolerance. She doesn’t really like kids. She has to tolerate with Jem and Scout though. She doesn’t get a long with others but when it comes to Atticus she acts like nothing is wrong.

Atticus is a character in the story who really does deal with tolerance. He is a type of guy that when it comes to fighting he prefers to let the problem slide and walks away, or talk about it in a mature way. For example when Mr. Ewell spit at Atticus what he did was just walk away and not do anything to him. If that would have been someone else a fight would of started. Tolerance fits Atticus really good.

My conclusion is that what the author is trying to tell us through the book is to not judge people by their color or by the way they act. The author Harper Lee is also trying to tell us that tolerance is really important. It prevents people from having problems, well only the people that practice using it. This book has really taught us some lessons and it also teaches us not to try n solve every problem with fights but to solve them by talking them through, just like Atticus does.
