Hoped that helped. (:
Mockingbirds are like harmless creatures. They have a purpose on earth. Mockingbirds are compared to as innocent people. Why do we kill people if they haven't done anything to us?
Heres some exampels.... "Judge Taylor was on the bench, looking like a sleepy old shark" "Jem waved my words away as if fanning gnats" "Dill was as good as his worst performance" Hope this helps!

Answer 2

One simile in To Kill a Mockingbird is when Scout describes Boo Radley's house as looking "squatted" like a "damp box." Another simile is when Atticus Finch tells the jury in Tom Robinson's trial that Mayella Ewell is "as fragile as a china vase." These similes help to create vivid imagery and emphasize specific characteristics of the objects or characters being described.
