To Kill a Mockingbird is a journey through justice, empathy, innocence and compassion. Innocence is central in the mockingbird. Atticus teaches that it is a sin to kill a mockingbird because they are harmless and only make music for us to enjoy. We have a duty to protect the innocent from the world's evil. In this book, Tom Robinson and Boo Radley are themselves mockingbirds, harmed by prejudice and cruelty. The children seem to understand much more than the adults ever will.
Matthew 18:3-4 ...Verily I say unto you, except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
