To Kill A Mockingbird, also known as to hurt the innocent to seem superior. In some way we are all mockingbirds who sing our songs and thats what makes us unique. Though, we all have faults where we aren’t at our purest. Most of us are mockingbirds going on with our lives and just trying our best to get through life and enjoy it. To be a mockingbird is to act in ways for yourself that cause no harm to others and only betters the world. Examples of mockingbirds in the book, “To Kill a Mockingbird” would be; Bob Ewell, even though he has done wrong he could have had a bad upbringing and he wasn’t always being beastly towards the people of Maycomb, then there is Atticus Finch and Dill Harris.

Yes, he might have had times of being just pure
Hell on Earth but he was also a working man taking care of several children. Making mistakes is a part of life but it is safe to say that the ones Bob Ewell intended to go through with were at an extreme level of physcotic.

Blink-182 comes to mind when I think of Atticus Finch. The lyric that most relates to him is, “It's alright to tell me what you think about me/ I won't try to argue or hold it against you.” Atticus is constantly talked about in the book both negatively and positively when it comes to the Tom
Robinson trial but he doesn’t let what people say get to him or effect his feelings he has towards them since he knows that people are opinionated and its okay for them to act and think differently than him.

Throughout all of the book “To kill a Mockingbird”, you never see Dill doing something to hurt another, he goes on his way and minds what’s going on in his life and not the other around him. People seem to butt into other peoples business when things are going wrong in their lives but you never see Dill trying to tell others what to do and
