I'm writing a review on To Kill A Mockingbird and I'm just really having a blonde day. Thanks...

Ok, the entire sentence is: She uses the mockingbird-- an innocent animal that is forbidden to be killed-- as an analogy to illustrate her realistic yet depressing plot. I think it's rubbish, but IDK...

It sounds a little awkward. Why not try something like "an innocent animal we are forbidden to kill".

It's grammatically correct.
No comma with 'that.' 'Which' needs a comma.
Give us the whole sentence--context is everything.
edit: Okay, in context it is awkward.
--an animal whose killing is forbidden-- sounds better. Innocent doesn't really do anything except add a self-indulgent adjective to pull heartstrings and probably make the writer feel more eriudite than he/she is.
I've never read the book though.
