In the town of Maycomb, residents have a very small intolerance towards other people they are not familiar with. There are many commonalities between people who accept others, like Atticus and Scout. Atticus discussed with Scout to put himself in their shoes and understand how they feel. So one thing they have in common is that they put themselves in your place and judge how you live and what decisions you will make. Another common point is a strong sense of justice among people who accept others and people accept others not for their skin but for their morals. People who hate others also make judgments too quickly and allow themselves to be persuaded by other people in the community. Harper Lee shows in the novel "To Kill a Mockingbird", the formation of a strong intolerance to racial discrimination in the residents of Maycomb highlighting the separation of Maycomb, resulting in a commonality of people who accept or hate others. Acceptance from others is a difficult thing to earn because people who aren't accepting don't know how the other person is really doing. To truly understand a person means putting yourself in their position. At a school in Maycomb, Scout is having a hard time in school. To make matters worse, Walter Cunningham got Scout in trouble, which made her angry so she attacked him. However Jem brings him home for dinner and Scout talks to Atticus about how to get along with other people. “-until you get under his skin and walk in it.” (Lee 30). Atticus argued with Scout about accepting others and told her that you can't understand someone, "until you get into their skin and walk around in it." (Lee 30). After Atticus discussed this with Scout, she became more tolerant of others because she now tries to solve… middle of paper… she did. Harper Lee shows the development of a strong intolerance of racial discrimination in Maycomb residents by highlighting the separation of Maycomb into two groups, resulting in a commonality of people who accept or hate others. People who accept others, put themselves in others' shoes and are able to understand how they feel about certain situations. A strong sense of justice is a good thing to have because it allows you to judge people not based on external factors but based on their morals. Furthermore, people often misjudge others and are easily persuaded by others because they want to fit in or experience peer pressure. People often hate others because they don't know their true side.
