To Kill A Mockingbird Help Miss Maudie explains that mockingbirds “don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corncribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us” (Lee 103). What in this quote means in terms of a innocent black man accused of crimes?

The Mockingbird represent Innocence

Explanation:

In the book, the mockingbird symbolizes peace and innocence since they don't do anything harmful to the county but only bring joy and happiness through their music. This is similar to Tom Robinson cause he is an innocent black man who hasn't done anything wrong. All he does is work efficiently and stay out of trouble. He got accused of mistreating Miss Ewell although he didn't do anything wrong, and Bob Ewell is actually the one who harmed her. (idk if the helps but I had a similar question on a test recently)

in "people in peace, not profit and war" chrisholm uses inductive reasoning for her argument against defense spending by stating that the new administration, like most americans, wanted to invest in social objectives, so they must not want to prioritize defense spending. mr. nixon said "we can delay no longer in launching new approaches to the problem that beset them", but chrisholm points out that the programs were delayed anyways.
