Answered by Aslan. As Atticus has explained to Scout many times about this, He is doing this becasue he values equailty and justice. He believes that everyone is equal and therefore just because Tom Robinson is black, doesn't mean that he should not defend him.e says to Scout many times, if he did not defend this man, he could never tell Jem or her (Scout) not to do something. He has to set a good example for his children and if he expects them to do something or follow certain values, then he must display them first.
Best Answer: In Chapter 10 Atticus tells Scout âRemember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.â Scout was not sure about what her father had said so she asked Miss Maudie about it and Miss Maudie said âYour father's right.hat's why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.â In Chapter 25 Mr. Underwood compares Tom's death to the senseless slaughter of songbirds by hunters and children.
