To Kill a Mockingbird I'd rather you shot at tin cans in the back yard, but I know you'll go after birds. Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.“ *This quote shows symbolism. It refers to the title and the meaning of a Mockingbird. They are harmless creatures, and sing peacefully, to kill one would be a sin.

To Kill a Mockingbird I liked this book, and would recommend it if you like books about the struggles during the Great Depression, and what the people had to go through. I liked how descriptive Harper Lee was when describing situations.
