Here is a quote by Miss Maudie Atkinson from To Kill a Mockingbird, which defines a "mockingbird" quite well:
"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." Reading this you could say, figuratively, Atticus was indeed a mockingbird.
Atticus Finch says "Let the dead bury the dead" in To Kill a Mockingbird, not "Let the cup pass from you."
The quote "Let the dead bury the dead" was spoken by Atticus Finch in the novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee. Atticus is explaining to Scout that it is important to focus on the living and the present rather than being consumed by the past.
In the novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee, the bullet hits the rabid dog that Atticus Finch shoots dead, not a dog that is a character in the story. The dog had rabies and posed a danger to the community, so Atticus had to put it down to protect others.
The son of Atticus was Jeremy Atticus Finch. He was known mostly by his nickname "Jem" in the book.
During Aunt Alexandra's afternoon tea in "To Kill a Mockingbird," the news of Tom Robinson's death is announced. Tom had tried to escape from prison and was shot dead by the authorities. This news deeply affects the characters in the novel, especially Atticus Finch and Calpurnia.

There are no litteral mockingbirds in To Kill A Mocking Bird, only metaphorical ones. If you want metaphorical mockingbirds (characters that do no harm in the book), that would include: Boo Radley Miss Maudie Atticus Walter Cunningham Jr.* Little Chuck Little Tom Robinson Calpurnia even Scout's dead mother fits here.... *questionable
The neighbors have gathered in the Finch's front yard to protect Atticus and Tom Robinson from the lynch mob that has gathered at the jail. They are there to help prevent any violence and to show support for Atticus and Tom.
Do not cheat by looking up the answers on the internet. ^dafuq. Must be my teacher...
No, no dead mockingbird is found in the book. Atticus talks about how killing a mockingbird is a sin because they don't do anything to harm anybody they actually help us by singing songs. They also say that it would be like killing a mockingbird to tell anybody that Boo Radley really killed Bob Ewell. Not only that, they also say that it is a sin to kill Tom Robinson who was actually helping out. There are 2 mockingbirds- Tom Robinson & Boo Radley. The mockingbird is very symbolic- it has little to do literally with the plot of the story. Instead, a mockingbird represents themes such as innocence, and 'to kill a mockingbird' is to destroy something innocent.
