Look here. When it comes fall this dries up and the wind blows it all over Maycomb County” (56). ________________________________________________

56) More Symbols 1st Symbol: Miss Maudie’s Nut Grass (Chapter 5) Miss Maudie's nutgrass is symbolic of her belief that racism must be eliminated by its roots. When it comes to her garden (and to her baking, especially her beloved Lane Cake), Miss Maudie is a perfectionist. Part of the beauty of her plants comes with the loving attention that she shows them. She knows that the nutgrass cannot be eradicated simply by "pulling them up"; like the racism rampant in Maycomb, it must be destroyed at its origins. She worries about her plants on the day of the unseasonal snow that hits Maycomb, and she shows more concern about their possible demise than that of her house after it burns. She loved everything that grew in God's earth... and that extended to people.

56) More Symbols Sketch & Discuss & Write Explanation (don’t copy quotation) 2nd Symbol: The Mockingbird (Chapter 10) “Remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.” 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” (119).

56) More Symbols 2nd Symbol: The Mockingbird (Chapter 10) The title of To Kill a Mockingbird has very little literal connection to the plot, but it carries a great deal of symbolic weight in the book. In this story of innocents destroyed by evil, the “mockingbird” comes to represent the idea of innocence. Thus, to kill a mockingbird is to destroy innocence. Throughout the book, a number of characters (Jem, Tom Robinson, Dill, Boo Radley, Mr. Raymond) can be identified as mockingbirds— innocents who have been injured or destroyed through contact with evil. Jem and Scout’s last name is Finch (another type of small bird), which indicates that they are particularly vulnerable in the racist world of Maycomb, which often treats the fragile innocence of childhood harshly.

I hope and pray I can get Jem and Scout through it without bitterness, and most of all, without catching Maycomb’s usual disease. Why reasonable people go stark raving mad when anything involving a Negro comes up, is something I don’t pretend to understand” (117).  Atticus says this right before the dog incident . . . CONNECTION????

3rd Symbol: Tim Johnson, the Mad Dog (Chapter 10) 56) More Symbols 3rd Symbol: Tim Johnson, the Mad Dog (Chapter 10) It may seem odd to give an animal the last name of the family it belongs to, but it’s apparently common practice in Maycomb – Judge Taylor’s pooch gets the same treatment. But more interestingly, it allows the dog’s name to sound suspiciously like that of another character. But Scout’s memory of her father shooting the dog pops up more than once in situations involving Tom, and doesn’t get mentioned otherwise. Perhaps they’re both examples of Atticus doing tough things he doesn’t want to do. Or of Atticus facing off with a mindless threat. (He does later refer to the men in the lynch mob as "animals.“)
