To Kill a Mocking Bird

Simply put, one of the greatest books ever written, featuring one of the most inspirational characters ever to be thought up by a human brain: Atticus Finch.

Many people have took up the law career because of this book.

Disagreeing with fuzzums and explaining the name of the book.

Harper Lee chose the name "To Kill a Mockingbird" for several reasons, as hinted in the story, Atticus telling Jem he can shoot all the blue jays he wants but never to kill a mocking bird "because they sing their hearts out for us"

Likewise, the death of Tom Robinson much resembled killing a mockingbird, he did nothing wrong, and only helped people.
To Kill a Mocking Bird is one of the greatest stories ever written.

I wish Atticus Finch was my dad.

Mocking-jay

From "The Huger Games" trilogy.

"Funny birds and something of a slap in the face to the" oppressive government which had bred the all male Jabberjay as information gathering homing birds. The rebels used them to spread miss-information and the government abandoned the birds "to die off in the wild. Only they didn't die off. Instead, the jabberjays mated with female mockingbirds, creating a whole new species that could replicate both bird whistles and human melodies."

A symbolic icon worn by Katniss Everdeen, first as a symbol of protection and a totem from her home district.

The origins of the Mocking-jay pin differ in the book and the movie.

Collins, Suzanne (2009-09-01). The Hunger Games (pp. 42-44). Scholastic Books.
The mocking-jay pin is not just a pretty trinket to wear.
