&ldquo;Atticus said to Jem one day, &quot;I&rsquo;d rather you shot at tin cans in the backyard, but I know you&rsquo;ll go after birds. Shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit &lsquo;em, but remember it&rsquo;s a sin to kill a mockingbird.&quot; That was the only time I ever heard Atticus say it was a sin to do something, and I asked Miss Maudie about it. &quot;Your father&rsquo;s right,&quot; she said. &quot;Mockingbirds don&rsquo;t do one thing except make music for us to enjoy. They don&rsquo;t eat up people&rsquo;s gardens, don&rsquo;t nest in corn cribs, they don&rsquo;t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s a sin to kill a mockingbird.&rdquo; <br /> ― Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird
