n Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, the image of the mockingbird carries great symbolic weight. Based on the following excerpt, what could the mockingbird symbolize?
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.

The Mockingbird could be a symbol of peace and harmony. They say in the text that "Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don't eat up peoples 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." The Mockingbird's leave them alone and they leave them alone. The birds sing for them every morning and stay out of the way, so why kill them? So to me they symbolize peace and harmony. 

Answer:

The mockingbird symbolizes life that should be preserved for the non material value it provides people through its singing.
