How to kill a mockingbird book analysis

The book To Kill A Mockingbird is a story about innocence, courage and knowledge . In the beginning the main character Scout starts out to be a very immature child not knowing the racist times around her. As the story goes on she gains knowledge of these times by fellow kids around her accusing her dad of being something he's not it was an insult. Her dad was being courageous of a black man being faulsey accused of raping a white girl. Her dad Atticus is a crimnal defense attorney only doing his job and not discriminating against this man. The line in the book "Shoot, all the bluejays you want, but remember its a sin to kill mockingbird" is referring to the black man in the story named Tom. He symbolises a mockingbird because all mockingbirds do is sing for our enjoyment and stay out of harms way so if you kill them its a sin. He is the mockingbird in the book and all he does is stay out of harms way and is accused of a crime and in the end is eventually guilty and dies.
