In, To Kill a Mockingbied by Herper Lee, Atticus tells his children Jem and Scout that it's a sin to kill a mockingbird because mockingbirds cause no harm to

A) Simile
B)Symbolism
C) Paradox

Simile= a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, used to make a description more emphatic or vivid.

The mockingbird question had no figure of speech and did not compare the mockingbird to anything. Therefore, Option A is not the answer

Symbolism= the use of symbols to represent ideas or qualities.

The question uses no symbols to represent anything. Therefore, option B is not the answer.

Paradox= a seemingly absurd or self-contradictory statement or proposition that when investigated or explained may prove to be well founded or true.

Atticus says that mockingbirds don't do anything and that is a statement that can be investigated to be true. Therefore, Option C is the answer.
