To Kill A Mockingbird

He told me I'd rather shoot at tin cans, but sooner or later, the temptation to go after birds would be too much. "Tin" is a type of cheap metal. "Temptation" is an important word meaning desire. In this case, "to go after" birds is to try and shoot them. I could shoot at all the bluejays I wanted, but it was a sin to kill a mockingbird. ................
