In the novel “To kill a mocking” the book teaches you about tolerance many have tolerance and many don’t. Tolerance is the capacity for or the practice of recognizing and respecting the beliefs or practices of others. In the begging of the book scout the narrator has no tolerance at all. Tolerance is important to day because we all need it in order to get along with one another. If we didn’t have tolerance every one would have hate to one another.

Scout the narrator of the book “To kill a mocking bird” she lives with her father atticus and her brother Jem, and there black cook Colpurnia in may comb. She is considered a tom boy in the book. She had already learned how to read and write, scout shows tolerance by respecting her cook. I think scout looks at her house keeper as a symbol of her mother. That is why I think she shows her respect. Her mother had pasted away when she was very little.

Mrs. Dubuse is and very old lady, that doesn’t really like any one, she sits on her porch and yells at people that are minding there own business just walking by. And when atticus had told her a complement she gets all child like and acts shy. She’s taking morphine to fight the pain from her cancer. When she is off of the morphine she is all grouchy and mean. She also had the choice to either die pure and clean or on the drug morphine. And she chooses do die clean and not one the drug.

A good symbol from the book is the pocket watch it represents time. And how much time has passed. And the time that the watch is stopped on. Mean that something important is going to happen on that time. Jem finds a lot of other objects like a pocket knife, marbles and lots of other things. Another symbol is a mocking bird because it has not don’t anything bad to harm any one. And has just minded its own business but still little children try to shoot it with a bb gun. Or do anything to try to harm a animal that has done nothing to them.

A lot of the characters show tolerance especially Atticus. When he gets spitted on by men. And not doing any thing about it. I know if that was me I would not take anything like that I would flip out and try to hurt them. That is what tolerance is all about controlling what we want to let loose. I don’t think that I would have that much tolerance like Atticus.
