atticus tells his daughter scout, that she can shoot any bird except a mockingbird because they do no harm - they only sing and make music for us. there are two "mockingbirds" in the story - Boo radley and Tom Robinson. They don't do any harm to anyone, but others harm them.

Atticus is telling about what his father told him about having his first gun. That it's a sin to kill a mockingbird because all they do is sing and don't cause any trouble. Read the book or watch the movie and you will see how that fits in with the story.

In the book, Atticus tells Jem and Scout that they can shoot at as many pigeons as they like, but to never, ever kill a mockingbird. He states that mockingbirds make beautiful music, and never cause harm to anyone, and therefore we shouldn't harm them. This is a metaphor for two characters in the novel-Boo Radley and Tom Robinson. Both are persecuted based on something that they never did, but people harm them anyways. They are, in effect, 'mockingbirds'.
Hope that helps!

The phrase is explained in the text. Did you read it? Remember how Atticus tells Scout the story about how his parents told him never to kill a mockingbird? Go look up that section. It is explained there.

It represents a genuine international concern. Incient definitely everyone seems to be convicted and killed each and daily no count number if that is on the line or by utilising regulation. Tom Robonsion replaced into wrongfully accused and replaced into killed, however the only reason he replaced into accused and convicted is the failings in our society. no longer purely interior the term whilst Harper Lee wrote this e book yet additionally as we communicate all of us face themes which contain racism, sexism, ageism, and this form of excellent sort of others. those problems have been even worse lower back interior the time whilst this e book replaced into printed because of the fact human beings did no longer decide directly to verify it beacause it replaced into in the process the eyes of a youthful lady. i think of that like definitely everyone else for the period of this international she replaced into attempting to make a distinction and that i belive she did make a distinction in a great sort of lives, a minimum of in mine.

"It's a sin to kill a mockingbird" That is one of the famous lines from the book. If that doesn't explain it then you are hopeless.
