The Tolerance in a Book

Tolerance is accepting people for who they are and the decisions that they make. If there was no tolerance there would be a lot of people in the world being rejected or hated. If there were a lot of people with tolerance the world would be a lot different and darker and a lot of people would have no friends .The three main characters in the novel that showed tolerance in the book it is Scout, Mrs. Dubose, and Atticus. They may be the three but there a lot more in the novel.

Jean Louise “scout” Finch is tolerant in the novel in her own way because she is the narrator. She is a really different person at the end of the book though. She isn’t mean with Mrs. Dubose once she finds out that she is a fighting morphine addict and Atticus explains it to her and she understands. But before Atticus explains it to her what was wrong with her scout was making fun of Mrs. Dubose every time she passes her yard. The other person she used to prejudge was Walter Cunningham because he was the poorest in Maycomb County. She would always pick a fight with him during their school break. But then Atticus explains to her why he didn’t take the money that his teacher offered him to get lunch. When Mr. Cunningham borrows money he pays you with his crops that he grows. Because of this six year old narrator she makes us think before we can judge what I going on in the story. Mrs. Dubose isn’t tolerant for anybody. We learn tolerance from her because of the way her acted. We learned that she has been in pain for all these years. Which made us feel that we should o tolerated her from the beginning. At the end she died of cancer and Atticus thinks of her as her hero. Mrs. Dubose was a fighting morphine addict and she was a nigger hater.

Atticus Finch was the most tolerant person in the book. He tolerated everyone called him a nigger lover. When Mr. Ewells spit on his face. When the protesters where going to kill Tom Robinson. He tolerated the way Mrs. Dubose treated his kids. He was the main hero of the book and he was the most loved person in the whole book.

All three characters are tolerant in their own way. Tolerance is something that all people should have.
