What is the importance of the snipe in To Kill a Mockingbird?

Answer 1

Well, that's a very broad question...

Scout is the narrator and protagonist (main character) of the story. She is one of the symbols of a "mockingbird." When Atticus tells them not to shoot any mockingbirds, I can't exactly remember if it was Calpurnia or Atticus that tells them, but they say that a mockingbird only goes around and sings their hearts out for "us." Hence characters in the book that are innocent and only go around helping and such are "mockingbirds" and back to the question, Scout Finch is the main character and has an effect on most parts of the story. But I highly recommend you read the book. It's a very good book.

Answer 2

The significance of the snipe hunt in "To Kill a Mockingbird" highlights the innocence and naivety of the children, Scout, Jem, and Dill. It serves as a metaphor for their understanding of the adult world and the complexities they will encounter as they mature. Additionally, the snipe hunt symbolizes the theme of growing up and the loss of innocence in the novel.

Answer 3

Snipe hunting is something people send a rookie on. There is no such thing. The men think they have been clever to send someone snipe hunting.
