My gosh..I love that book.
Okay first off, thematic means theme. You see, to kill a mockingbird is a sin because they don't do anything to harm humans or to annoy us. All they do is sing.
For the three characters, use Boo, Tom Robinson and the African American community.
You might want to re-read the book because these are quite easy to find.

to me, the title kind of refers to atticus teaching his children all of these life lessons and things. sure, the book is about kids having fun in a small town, but in the end it's about their father teaching them all of this valuable stuff. one of those things is that you should never kill a mockingbird because the mockingbird never did anything to anybody else. as somebody already said, boo would probably be one of those people. he never did anything to scout and her brother, yet they keep tormenting him. i haven't read the book in awhile, but you know the black man that supposedly rapes the white girl? he was also innocent in the same sense. he was just doing what was right, minding his own business, and the white girl's father claims that his daughter was raped by him. so those are already two characters that are similar to mockingbirds. since it's been so long since i've read the book, i can't really remember anybody else. good luck!

"It's a sin to kill a mockingbird. It never hurts any of us or steals food, but all it does is sing music for us."
So basically innocent people who should not be hurt or killed that don't hurt other people or things.

I'm kinda confused on the question too but i would say Boo is one...he could hurt people for spying and everything but he doesn't. <3

they mean a person who is there not to hurt anyone basically.
atticus would be one of them.

I have never read the book, I will admit, but I do really believe that the answer is logical. Just think back and forth about both. It's hard to describe, and I don't want to give you the wrong answer.

But again, just think about reasonably.
