To Kill a Mocking Bird Essay

"remember its a sin to kill a mockingbird" That was the only time i herd Atticus say it was a sin to do some thing...

It is a sin to kill a mockingbird. this is repeatedly exemplified in this book. For example Tom Robinson, Atticus and Boo Radly were all "mockingbirds" in the book To Kill A Mockinbird by.
