Toms death was a "senseless slaughter" because he was guilty and he did not deserve to be shot 17 times, this is just overkill and senseless. They compare his death to a mocking bird because Tom was just a songbird and is innocent like the birds.  They did this because he was a cripple and did not deserve it.

In the story, "To Kill a Mockingbird", by Harper Lee, Tom Robinson's death is considered a "senseless slaughter" because he was an innocent man. Tom died because of the people's ignorance and injusticeness. The text states, "Tom is dead. He was caught trying to climb over the wall and was shot 17 times"(Lee 323). This quote explains how far the people took it to kill Tom, and how they did it for their own pleasure. This was wrong because Tom never did anything wrong, and shouldn't have been treated this way. Tom is being compared to a mockingbird, because all he does is  sing and make beautiful music, yet people still hunt him down and accuse him for wrong doings because he is a black man. In conclusion, Tom's death was called a "senseless slaughter" because he truly was an innocent man.

Tom's death is a "senseless slaughter" because he was an innocent man and didn't deserve what happened to him. Mr. Underwood compares his death to "the senseless slaughter of songbirds by hunters and children"(Lee 323). Mr. Underwood compares Tom to songbirds because songbirds just sing their music and don't disturb anyone. Tom Robinson was innocent and didn't try to disturb anyone as well, yet he was still shot seventeen times for escaping from a crime he never committed.

Tom's death was a senseless slaughter. This has been shown in the text when it states "Tom is dead he was caught trying to climb over the wall and was shot 17 times"(Lee 323). This shows that this was a senseless murder, because it only takes one bullet to kill a man, but they shot him with 17 bullets, as well as the fact that he was a cripple.

In chapter 19 pg 260, "Mr. Finch, I tried. I tried to 'thout bein' ugly to her. I didn't wanta be ugly, I didn't wanta push her or nothin'. It occured to me that in their own way, Tom Robinson's manners were as good as Atticus's." Then in Chapter 25 pg 323, "Tom was a dead man the minute Mayella Ewell opened her mouth and screamed."

Mr. Underwood didn't talk about miscarriages of justice, he was writing so children could understand. Mr. Underwood simply figured it was a sin to kill cripples, be they standing, sitting, or escaping. He likened Tom's death to the senseless slaughter of songbirds by hunters and children.
