It was said by Atticus that it was a sin to kill a mockingbird, but it's okay to kill a blue jay. It's because mockingbirds cause no harm whatsoever to anyone, much like Tom Robinson and the rest of the black community. On the Other hand, killing a blue jay is okay because they are annoying and cause too many problems like the whites in the Maycomb community, also known as the Ewells. Tom Robinson hadn't done anything wrong, but Bob Ewell tries to hide his guilt by falsely accusing him mostly because he is black.
i agree. i never thought of making that comparisson.
