To Kill A Mockingbird Representation Write Up (9-11)

“Shoot at all the bluejays you want, if you can hit ‘em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.” –Atticus Finch, page 119.

To Kill A Mockingbird is about innocence, which is represented by this picture of a mockingbird perfectly. Mockingbirds, like Miss Maudie Atkinson says “don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corncribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us.” This is also a representation of many characters in the book; Scout who is innocent in the way that she sees the world growing up, Boo Radley, who is innocent of the stories told about him, and Tom Robinson who is innocent of the crime he was accused of.
