Punishment

In chapter 11, Atticus make Jem apologize to Mrs. Dubose, even though she was mean to Jem. What do you think about Atticus' decision? Mrs. Dubose acts through ignorance, should she be forgiven?

I think Atticus's decision is fair because it is teachimg Jem ot not hate or harm people for completely stupid reasons. She should be forgiven because all she did was express her views, even if she was harsh and hurt other people through her views

atticus is right for his descision because even though Mrs. Dubose said someting mean he should of held his head high and been a gentleman. I think that Mrs. Dubose should be forgiven because she is an old lady and she is on a lot of morphine and it must be hard for her to live being a morphine addict.
