To Kill A Mockingbird - The Need For Compassion and Tolerance

Do you not believe we need more compassion and tolerance in the world? Why can we not be like Atticus, Jem or Scout from To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee? These characters show great compassion and tolerance throughout the novel despite the society they live in. They have the courage to stand up for what they believe in. Atticus shows great compassion and tolerance when he stands up for the Negroes. He stands up …

…Scout has. We have to accept that everyone is created equal and teach those morals to our children, like Atticus has. We have to admit that there are such things as prejudices and racism in the world, like Jem has. Learning to accept any of these morals, could help us be better people. God told us to love one another, not hate each other. Bibliography Lee, Harper. To Kill A Mockingbird. New York: Warner Books, 1960.
