Tolerance is accepting people no matter how they look. Accepting other people’s ideas and opinions is a good way to show tolerance. Tolerance is important today because you have to be able to get along with all kinds of people. The author established the theme of tolerance using Scout, Mrs. Dubose, and Atticus. All three characters are tolerant.

Scout is a young girl that tolerates people most of the time. Even though she is a girl she likes to play with boys. She spends most of the time with Jim her big brother. When Jim tells her to play with other girls she tolerates Jim and keeps playing with him. On hr first day of school she wasn’t tolerant. A boy was saying things about Atticus and Scout started beating up the boy.

Mrs. Dubose is a mean old lady. She is very grumpy and old. When Jim messed up her flowers she was a little tolerant. She told Jim to read to her after school for two hours for two whole months. She was very calm when Jim was reading to her. She had cancer that’s why she was so mean. Mrs. Dubose respects Atticus and Atticus respects her. In a way Mrs. Dubose is tolerant.

Another person that is very tolerant is Atticus. Atticus is Scout’s and Jim’s father. When Scout or Jim does something bad Atticus is tolerant and doesn’t punish them bad. When a guy spits on his face Atticus doesn’t hit him. Atticus knows how to handle problems with tolerance.

In a way all three characters are tolerant. People should be tolerant to others and to each other to know how to get along with people. Tolerance is a good way to show someone that you care about them. Finally, tolerance is a thing that everyone should learn.
