Can someone answer this plz:

Atticus thought that Boo stabbed Ewell which was probably true. Heck Tate however convinced Atticus of how nobody would win if the truth came out. Boo, a recluse, would be destroyed by the publicity and attention. Atticus finally agrees it better to say the drunk Bob Ewell fell on his own knife. Scout understands that making Boo Radley a hero would destroy him: "Mr. Tate was right....Well, it'd be sort of like shootin' a mockingbird, wouldn't it?"
