Online lesson: character sketch

Atticus Finch is has high tolerance towards people who mock him and make his life difficult. He has tolerated many people who have insulted him for defending Tom Robinson, a black man in court. Although people consistently mocked him, he did not listen to them or react, he just went on with what he believed that was right. After that court session, Mr Ewell was really angry with Atticus for defending Tom Robinson against his daughter. So Mr Ewell spat at Atticus when he met him, Atticus did not retaliate instead he just wiped his face and walked away without a word. This shows that he extremely tolerant, most people would have turned to violence if they were spat at. Atticus taught his children to be tolerant as well. Atticus Flinch was very tolerant is known to be an upright and moral person, he is respected for that.
