Who are the mockingbirds in 'To Kill a Mockingbird'?
Are they not all Mockingbirds? Human as well as 'Tim Johnson'? The rabid dog Atticus is forced to shoot? Miss Dubose and her flowers? Cal, Dill, Miss Crawford, May Ella and even Mr Ewell? They are trapped (killed) in a world that does not allow them to escape. Atticus is trapped. He could have turned down the request by sheriff Tate; he did not have to defend Tom, he chose to do so, because he knew the only way Tom would get as fair a trial as possible was for him, Atticus, to step up putting him and his family at danger. To kill a mockingbird is a lose of innocence, not just the physical death. 'Kill" not just to stop breathing; but- stop breathing the air you have always known, to learn that air is also the poison that is in us all. When Atticus tells Scout not to use a certain word... and she says 'everyone says that'.... he says from now own it will be one less. The mockingbirds are those who are innocent and harmless but who are harmed nonetheless. The one who is actually killed is Tom Robinson. Boo Radley is likewise a victim, but not to the same extent. The human "mockingbirds" are several. Tom Robinson is the most obvious "mockingbird." He brought joy to Mayella Ewell by spending a few minutes with her each afternoon on his way home from work, doing little chores for which he asked no payment (not unlike Atticus's efforts to help the Cunningham family). Indeed, Mayella looked forward to Tom's daily visits. Tom was the only person outside of her own family who would have anything to do with her. The well-kept red geraniums at the edge of the Ewell property represented her desire to express to passersby that she was not what people thought she was, just as Boo's gifts in the tree at the edge of his property served to tell Jem and Scout that he wasn't what people said he was. Mayella "kills a mockingbird" by accusing this kind, compassionate man of a crime he didn't come close to committing. Tom is killed near the prison fence as he tries to escape from the "cage" to which to racist society had banished him. When Walter Cunningham confronts Atticus as part of the lynch mob, he comes close to committing the sin of killing a mockingbird. Atticus had helped Walter with his entailment. Realizing that he owes Atticus both gratitude and respect, Walter gets the mob to back down. The children are mockingbirds because they imitate the behavior of adults, especially Atticus. Boo Radley almost becomes a "dead mockingbird" at the end of the novel. Sheriff Tate convinces Atticus not to commit the "sin" of dragging Boo into the limelight.

Is the title of the story To Kill a Mockingbird a good fit in depicting the premise of the novel?
It is actually an incredibly good choice of title, as a mockingbird "does nothing but sing for us". The novel explores racism and its possible consequences to the very deepest of levels; life and death. In the novel, a black man is being accused of a horrific crime that he did not commit, and he will face death row if found guilty. Yet, he never committed the crime, nor did he do anything else to deserve such a terrible fate. In this way, the character Tom Robinson acts as the "mockingbird". He is a respectable, honest man that faces death for no valid reason. As Atticus says, to convict him is wrong because he did nothing to deserve it, just as one should never kill a mockingbird because all that it does is give us beautiful music.
