(Jeremy) as well. He treats his kids with respect as if they were adults. He does hot argue he says what he wants and if there is a conflict he walks away from it. Jem and Scout may make him mad sometimes but he treats them how he wants them to treat their peers. He shows a lot of tolerance when dealing with his kids.The theme tolerance is also shown when Atticus is talking to Aunt Alexandra.

Atticus said this to his sister, Aunt Alexandra, after she says to Atticus that she wants Calpurnia to leave the house since she (Alexandra) can take care of the kids. And there is no need to have Calpurnia in the house if she is not needed and just taking up space. Atticus was very mad when she said that, but he rationally told her no, and he did not yell. He kept his voice normal. He shows a tremendous amount of self-control over yelling at her and a tremendous amount of tolerance to not get to the point were he needs to yell and scream at her. Atticus has a lot of tolerance when talking to Aunt Alexandra.When in the town, when dealing with his kids, and when talking to Aunt Alexandra, Atticus shows that the theme of tolerance is present in To Kill a Mockingbird. Atticus does not yell at his kids or Aunt Alexandra. He also does not pick fights with the town's people who talk behind his back. He show...
