`Well, it'd be sort of like shootin' a mocking-bird, wouldn't it ?’
When scout
comments `Well, it'd be sort of like shootin' a mocking-bird, wouldn't
it ?’,
this refers to what Atticus said earlier about not killing
mockingbirds. Scout realizes that Arthur
Radley is a mockingbird. He hasn’t tried
to hurt anyone and was kind to the children. So,
putting him on trial would not be a good thing to do as he
was gentle and kind. Even putting him in
the public eye would be a bad thing, as he is mistrusted and even feared by
large sections of the public. According to Atticus, hurting him
would be a sin.
