The three musketeers

What is a mockingbird? A mockingbird is someone who is misjudged, innocent, harmless and doesn’t want to disturb anyone else. To Kill A Mockingbird is a book published by Harper Lee in 1960 that is about a young girl called Scout growing up in a racist fictional town in Alabama. In 1961 the book earned the Pulitzer Prize for fiction and after that it earned bestseller awards in magazines and newspapers. So far To Kill A Mockingbird has sold 40 million copies of the book in over 40 different languages. Mockingbirds in this novel are Dolphus, Tom and Boo because they don’t want to disturb anyone and don’t want harm to other people.

Boo is a mockingbird because he doesn’t do anything to disturb anyone. When Jem and Scout got their first air rifles Atticus told them that they can shoot blue jays but they can never shoot a mockingbird. “I think I’m beginning to understand why Boo Radley’s stayed shut up in the house all this time . . . it’s because he wants to stay inside” (251) Boo doesn’t do anything to annoy anybody else and takes care of Jem and Scout without them even knowing. For example when Boo hides items in the tree trunk on his yard for them to find and he wraps Scout in a blanket when Miss. Maudie’s house burned

When Jem and Scout got their air rifles Atticus said it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird's, Scout later asks Ms. Maudie what he meant by it to which Ms. Maudie responds: “They don’t eat up people’s garden [...] That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.” (P.100) First of all, Tom only does good things. He goes to church, is a caring father who loves his kids and he even helps Mayella with chores for no payment at all. Secondly “it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird” might refer to Bob Ewell ‘giving’ Tom the death sentence and later being killed for his sin. Hence Tom is a mockingbird because he does nothing wrongful against other
