![]() ![]() Boo’s differentness is in his solicitude and appearance: his teeth are “yellow and rotten,” his eyes “popped,” and he is very tall (Lee 20). ![]() ![]() Tom is unlike the majority because he is “a colored man” (Lee 295). Tom Robinson lived with his wife, Helen Robinson and his 5 children.Two major similarities about Tom and Boo are that they are innocent and their only problem is differentness. The mockingbirds do not appear to form a monophyletic lineage, as Mimus and Melanotis are not each other's closest relatives instead, Melanotis appears to be more closely related to the catbirds, while the closest living relatives of Mimus appear to be thrashers, such as the sage thrasher. There are about 17 species in two genera, although three species of mockingbird from the Galapagos Islands were formerly separated into a third genus, Nesomimus. They are best known for the habit of some species mimicking the songs of other birds and the sounds of insects and amphibians, often loudly and in rapid succession. Tom Robinson represents the mockingbird, Mockingbirds are a group of New World passerine birds from the family Mimidae. The reason behind the killing has been speculated, but many believe it was yet another example of racial violence. This moment serves as an interesting climax of the story since it represents the name of the book and movie, To Kill a Mockingbird.

However, because he is African-American, his kindness causes him to be wrongfully accused of a serious crime.īob Ewell accuses him of raping his 19-year-old daughter Mayella Ewell, but one of his arms is smaller than the other due to an accident involving a cotton gin, making it very unlikely that he's guilty of the rape. He is a kind, innocent, and harmless man who has to think twice about helping others. ![]()
