Piggy's A Sin To Kill A Mockingbird
As Atticus said, “it's a sin to kill a mockingbird”, because they have done nothing to anyone but try to please. There are many people in the world and in stories that symbolize mockingbirds, that were killed innocently. There are not many mockingbirds in Maycomb County, but until Boo Radley showed up no one knew that he was a true mockingbird. Mockingbirds do nothing but try to please humans by singing, and try to help. In the book To Kill a Mockingbird, Scout goes through many hard times and learns what it is to be like a mockingbird, innocent. In the end of the book, she realizes Boo Radley is a mockingbird, just like the gray ghost, a character in a book Scout and Atticus read. Innocent.

“The rock struck piggy a glancing blow from chin to knee”, and he fell off the cliff and died as the conch “exploded into a thousand white fragments.” (181) Piggy died after trying to help everyone and did nothing really wrong or against anyone. Piggy died an innocent death just like Simon because he had done nothing wrong but stand up for himself. He had tried to help Ralph all the way until he died and had helped Ralph realize what was happening. Thoughtful and smart, Simon was dragged along by the littluns to get the fruit “they could not reach”(56), then Simon “passed the fruit back down to the endless, outstretched hands”(56) of the children. Simon is nice and thoughtful, he had done nothing wrong and was just helping out the littluns and Ralph. Simon is like a mocking bird because he did nothing, but just trying to help out as much as he could, yet he still died innocently when the hunters mistook him as the beast. After trying to get Piggy's specs back and Piggys death, samneric are left with no say against Jack yelling,”what d’you …show more content…
This is because they have done nothing but do what they think is right and tell people their opinions but are killed because they are hated some people and die because of nothing. Gandhi, one of the greatest philosophers, had an opinion that “a religion that takes no account of practical affairs”, was not a religion. Gandhi is a mockingbird because he was just expressing his opinions and was still killed. People disliked some of his ideas and his opinions and he was tortured and assassinated at one point. Accused by witchcraft, at the trial, her legs shaking, Elizabeth states that “I know not, I am innocent”, to the Judges. Elizabeth has done nothing wrong and is only a woman in the town, but she is accused of witchcraft like many other woman. She is a mockingbird because she is innocent and is telling the truth but is imprisoned and killed anyways. During a trial in Salem village, it is stated that “If I would confess, I should have my life”, by Margaret Jacobs, an innocent, accused woman. Margaret makes a great statement that if she confesses she should have her life but she did no witchcraft. For a few months she is let free, but eventually, townspeople track her down and put her in jail and she dies even though she did nothing. These historical mockingbirds have done nothing but try to express their opinion or tell the truth and are still
