I think mockingbirds are a central metaphor in the book because they are portrayed as innocent and beautiful beings. Also I think they represent the goodness in humans which is why Atticus said it was a sin to kill a mockingbird. In chapter 9 when there is the incident between Scout and Uncle Jack there is an excellent example of point of view. Scout teaches Uncle Jack a valuable life lesson on how to listen to both sides of the story before making decisions. The point of view part of this is that his point of view is to just hear what happened and punish from there. Hers is that you need to hear both sides beofre making decisions. Well I look forward to the Trial.
