Two major people in To Kill A Mockingbird are prejudged; Boo Radley and Tom
Robinson. One man is the victim of prejudice; Atticus Finch. These men are mockingbirds. For a

Boo Radley is prejudged because he chooses to stay in his domicile. While Tom Robinson is
prejudged because of his color. Atticus Finch becomes a victim of prejudice due to his valiancy to
help a innocent black man; Tom Robinson. Boo Radley and Tom Robinson and prejudged; but

Maycomb people gossip about Boo Radley because he chooses to stay in his house, while Tom
Robinson is stereotyped by Maycomb because of his skin color. Rumors are spread about these men
because most of Maycomb is guilty of prejudice.

Boo Radley and Tom Robinson are mockingbirds. Both of these men are victims of prejudice.
To take advantage of these men would be a sin, just as it would to kill a mockingbird.
