To Kill a Mockinbird

Text analysis
From To kill a mockingbird (by Harper Lee)

   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. That's why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.
(To kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee)
