In my visual of Miss Maudie, it illustrates her compassionate and considerate personalities throughout the novel and also portrays the scene that happened in the novel.

Scout and Jem didn’t understand when their dad told them not to kill mockingbirds. Miss Maudie’s explanation of why they can’t kill the mockingbirds demonstrated that her views are very similar to Atticus, they both believe that it is wrong to harm anything that’s innocent and did no harm to others.
