N Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, the image of the mockingbird carries great symbolic weight. Based on the following excerpt
, what could the mockingbird symbolize? 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.
Unlike most animals, they're enjoyable. They don't do anything but sing til they die. They're calm, peaceful, and beautiful. Mockingbirds are nothing but amazing. It's a sin to kill a mockingbird just like it's a sin to kill a unicorn. To kill something so pure and harmless is horrible. That's why it's a sin to kill a mocking bird.
