Tom Robinson can be compared to a mocking bird.
A mocking bird :
Sings for humans and does no harm.
Gets shot by humans for fun without doing nothing bad.
Is lower then humans.

Hello Jakub
I want you to understand that Harper Lee uses the symbol of a mockingbird (one word) to show the destruction of innocence by some form of evil or cruelty.
You are correct in stating that Tom Robinson can be seen as a mockingbird and you have explained how he is an innocent character that comes up against evil. Well done
