Mattb that is a hard question to answer. People have different views to that question. I wanted to ask your age group. Society and morals have changed a lot since I was your age. I wanted to get your point of view. Your comment was interesting!

Great interpretation. Mockingbirds are symbolic to this story because of their innocence. Not only did you analyze the symbolism of the mockingbird but you also used a comparison.
