Mockingbird Motif

At the beggining of the year i had no clue what motif ment. Even when we had to do it for the summer assignment i was still unsure of the true meaning of motif was. I think that To Kill a Mockingbird has definatly helped me understand what motif is.
The mockingbird motif basically means its wrong to hurt something that is fragile or a sin to kill a mockingbird. It definatly adds to the other symbolic themes of the book like racism. Take Tom Robinson for example hes like a mockingbird because he didnt do anything wrong, but people are trying to accuse him of terrible things just because he is black.
