Answer and Explanation: Boo Radley, formally known as Arthur Radley, has not been seen in public in years. ing to town legend, Boo got into a bit of trouble as a teenager. After the incident and the subsequent penalties, his father reportedly kept Boo indoors.

' That was the only time I ever heard Atticus say it was a sin to do something, and I asked Miss Maudie about it. 'Your father's right,' she said. 'Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy…but sing their hearts out for us. That's why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird."

The central thematic concern of To Kill a Mockingbird addresses racial prejudice and social justice. Atticus Finch represents a strongly principled, liberal perspective that runs contrary to the ignorance and prejudice of the white, Southern, small-town community in which he lives.

“Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don't eat up peoples gardens, don't nest in corncribs, they don't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That's why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.” It's a sin to kill a Mockingbird because they are innocent.

Lee's intended symbolism is obvious: the mad dog represents institutional racism that has unfairly accused a handicapped black man of raping a white woman. After killing the dog, Finch warns his young son, Jem: “Don't you go near that dog, you understand? Don't go near him, he's just as dangerous dead as alive.”

In the classic American novel To Kill a Mockingbird, Boo Radley (whose first name is actually Arthur) doesn't leave his house or talk to anyone, which leads the children in the novel's setting (Maycomb, Alabama) to wildly speculate about what he looks and acts like.

In this chapter, Atticus tells his children that "it's a sin to kill a mockingbird". What reason does he give for saying this? Because mockingbirds are very innocent animals, they don't disturb anything or anyone or do anything harmful. The only thing they do is sing peacefully to people.
