The title, "To Kill a Mockingbird" is explained by Miss Maudie after Atticus tells Jem that he isn't allowed to kill Mockingbirds because it's a sin.

Answer 5

as it says in the book, it is a sin to kill a mockingbird because they do nothing wrong in the world.

boo has done nothing wrong and is being persecuted by the towns people (they are making up bad stories about him)

so attacking a man who has done nothing is the same as attacking a bird who has done nothing
