Killed at the ford vs. To kill a mockingbird

This poem “Killed at the Ford” written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is about a solider who was killed in battle during the civil war. The man that was killed was a person all the other solider looked up to. He was a leader and could lighten the most miserable of moments. The soldier was a noble and truthful man. The narrator of the poem is obviously very hurt by the death of his young comrade. …

…sin to kill a mockingbird meaning that no person should harm a innocent creature. It was a sin to kill the young soldier. The poem gave the reader the feeling that he was a noble, honest, and kind hearted man. A person with those qualities does not deserve to be murdered. It is a sin to kill any innocent creature and Henry Longfellow demonstrated that belief in his poem “Killed at the Ford.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
