"Shoot all the bluejays you want... but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird"
(Chapter 10)
Tim Johnson- disease/ racism
Scouts daydream- “like watching Atticus walk into the street, raise a rifle to his shoulder and pull the trigger, but watching all the time knowing that the gun was empty”.

"Marksmanship’s a gift of God, a talent—oh, you have to practice to make it perfect, but shootin’s different from playing the piano or the like.

(Chapter 10)
