In Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird there are many mockingbirds as well as many crows. A mockingbird is someone who only brings happiness and a crow is someone who brings anger and sadness. The crows cause a lot of unwanted trouble in this book, especially for the mockingbirds.
In this story Tom Robinson was a mockingbird. All he did try to help people out, but sadly it backfired on him. Tom Robinson had a wife and kids and did nothing to hurt anyone, he went to work like everybody else. On his way to work he had to pass the Ewell's. Their daughter Mayella Ewell liked to sit on the porch, and when Tom would pass by she always seemed a job for him. One day she invited him inside and something really bad happened. Tom had to go court, but no one would let him go, because he was black. "Tom was a daily reminder of what she did. What did she do? She tempted a Negro." pg 203 Tom had to go to jail and was eventually killed, all for a crime he never committed.
Boo Radley was always a myth to Scout she had never talked to him or even seen him. She had only heard the rumors. To her Boo Radley was a monster and something to be curious about. "...he dined on raw squirrels and any cats he could catch..." pg 13 Scout didn't realize that Arthur Radley was actually a good man. He left Scout and Jem gifts and saved them when they were almost murdered. After this Scout had great respect for Arthur, and didn't want him to be uncomfortable. So she helped convinced her dad to keep him a secret. Scout's view of Boo Radley had completely changed.
Often times children have a better view of right and wrong. Children's minds aren't corrupt yet, so they have a clearer view. When the men almost killed Atticus, he was ready to over look it and forgive them. Jem though didn't think it would be right to forgive them. "Don't call that a blind spot. He'd killed you last night when he first went there." pg 157 Jem also cried when Tom Robinson was found guilty.
In this book bad things happened to the wrong person and mysteries are solved. In this world just like this book, there are crows and mockingbirds.
