to whoever has read to kill a mockingbird???just one question plzz help!!!!!!?

Question

why does Mr.Underwood compare Toms death to the killing of a mockingbird????

Answer 1

The parallel between killing a mockingbird and killing a cripple man, Tom, is apparent here. Both of them are completely defenseless before their persecutors and, thus, it is sinful for them to be killed in that way.

Answer 2

First of all there is no Mr. Underwood, the character is Atticus Finch

"I'd rather you shoot at tin cans in the backyard, but I know you'll go after birds. Shoot all the bluejays you want , if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird." This is what Atticus Finch tells his children after they are given air-rifles for Christmas. Uniquely, the title of the classic novel by Harper Lee, To Kill A Mockingbird, was taken from this passage. At first glance, one may wonder why Harper Lee decided to name her book after what seems to be a rather insignificant excerpt. After careful study, however, one begins to see that this is just another example of symbolism in the novel. Harper Lee uses symbolism rather extensively throughout this story, and much of it refers to the problems of racism in the South during the early twentieth century. Harper Lee's effective use of racial symbolism can be seen by studying various examples from the book. This includes the actions of the children, the racist whites, and the actions of Atticus Finch.

Answer 3

Because both are innocent and do nothing harmful. There is no reason to kill a mockingbird. It doesn't eat our crops, or harrass people, or anything like that.
Tom was innocent and was not a threat to anyone.

Answer 4

omit Maudie is a neighbor who allowed Jem and Scout loose reign of her backyard as long as they stayed out of the vegetation she worked so stressful to maintain. She replaced into continuously out in her backyard working in the process the sunlight hours and looking out like an elegant female on her front porch interior the evenings. She had grown up with Atticus and his brother, Jack, and he or she and Scout became close one summer season while Jem and Dill frequently excluded Scout from their video games. omit Maudie's abode burns down on the coldest nighttime every person can remember, and that's while Boo Radley sneaks up at the back of Scout and covers her with a blanket without her even understanding he's there.
