Thomas Jefferson's Mockingbirds
7 Jefferson documented his admiration for mockingbirds in his many letters and journal entries. These pieces of history verify, or confirm, Jefferson's belief that the mockingbird is superior to other birds. He often challenged his friends and associates to find a European bird that could sing as sweetly as the American mockingbird. He believed this to be a challenge that no one could meet, because in his eyes no other bird measured up to the magnificently melodious mockingbird.

3.to provide evidence

Explanation:

According to the paragraph, Jefferson believed that the American's mockingbird was superior to other birds because of its melodious voice and tone.

The documents in the form of letters and journal entries provide evidence for Jefferson's beliefs. If someone begins to dispute that Jefferson actually had such beliefs, the documents would serve as evidence to verify or confirm that Jefferson indeed believed that the American's mockingbird was superior to others.

to kill a mockingbird basically is about a lawyer who goes against everything in a racist society like at the time of this novel, to defend a black man accused of sexual abuse. in the bible there are cases like that of joseph, who was accused by the woman of potifar, for a crime similar to that of tim robbinson, of that novel (genesis 39: 1-20). at this point we see that god also provides the escape to joseph, who was accused unjustly, but in his time, and through his attitude, his faith was not shaken, and god provided the solution. the perspective of god also written in the bible and not pay evil with evil. (ephesians 4: 32, 1 thessalonians 5: 15, 1 peter 3: 9). atticus, the lawyer, demonstrated during this lee novel, empathy, love of neighbor, understood the situation of this accused man. he went against everything in that society, and stood in favor of that man, for the injustice committed. this shows the empathy, the love taught by christ, in some passages that speak of love and justice in the sermon of the beatitudes (especially verses 6 and 7 of matthew 5).
