Why is it a sin To Kill a Mockingbird in To Kill a Mockingbird?

Answer 1

It's a sin To Kill a Mockingbird because, as Miss Maudie explains to Scout, "Mockingbirds don't do one thing but . . . sing their hearts out for us. That's why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird." What Miss Maudie is saying is that mockingbirds are harmless creatures that don't do anything bad or evil. All they do is sing their songs. In the story, the Mockingbird is a symbol that represents innocence. Boo Radley, Jem, Dill, Tom Robinson, and Mr. Raymond are all examples of Mockingbirds because their innocence was injured or destroyed by evil.

Answer 2

Killing a mockingbird is a metaphor in the book symbolizing the innocence and purity of certain characters, such as Tom Robinson and Boo Radley. Therefore, it is considered a sin because it represents destroying something good and pure without reason or justification.

Answer 3

As Miss Maudie Atkinson said in the classic novel To Kill a Mockingbird: "Mockingbirds 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. That's why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird."

It is a sin to kill a mockingbird because they do nothing but create beautiful music for the enjoyment of others and to kill it would be killing an innocent creature that has tried to serve others. Also the rhythm and harmony is one thing the whole neighborhood would love to listen to.

Characters in this novel could also have this advice applied to them. An example is Tom Robinson. He was an innocent man who had done no harm but was still killed. A second example is Boo Radley. He did one insignificant, wrong act in his teens which affected the rest of his life. He is mocked and rumors are spread about him. However Boo is shown to be a caring and gentle man by his interactions with Scout and Jem.
