People believe that it's illegal To Kill a Mockingbird because the mockingbird does nothing to hurt anyone in anyway. Just like Miss Maudie said; "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."The reason Tom Robinson is considered the mockingbird is because its obvious he did nothing to hurt anyone but they still killed him. The courtroom considered him guilty only because he was an African American. This is an example of racism and discrimination.
