The second time is when Jem and Scout are walking on their
way to the Halloween pageant. In order to get to the schoolhouse
they must cross a forested area. As they come up to it, "High
above us a solitary mocker poured out his repertoire in blissful
unawareness of whose tree he was in, plunging from the shrill
kee-kee of the sunflower bird to the irascible qua-ack of the
blue jay, to the sad lament of 'Poor Will, Poor Will, Poor Will."
In this here the mention of mockingbirds seems to herald what
is to come. After all, Scout does say that it was the beginning
of her longest journey ever with Jem. Indeed, an important event
does happen at the end of this pageant sequence, and this ominous
mockingbird repertoire seems to signal that it is coming.
Here it seems almost as if the mockingbird's song is in sequences.
The "blissful unawareness" may be related to when Scout
and Jem are walking to the pageant unaware of Cecil Jacobs' scaring
them and how the pageant is going to go.
Secondly, the "irascible qua-ack" of bluejays, which
is generally speaking relatively jolly and happy, stands for the
good time they have at the pageant.
Lastly, the "Poor Will" thing means when Scout and Jem
are returning home, with the atmosphere lonely and sad.
