The book takes place in the 1930s during the depression. During this time in history many people were poor. Atticus,the father, is also working to support his two children so this added to their difficulties. Hope I helped :)

The finches in "To Kill a Mockingbird" represent social outcasts and those who don't conform to the norms of society. They are considered poor because they do not fit into traditional societal expectations and are therefore marginalized by others. It serves as a metaphor for the novel's overall theme of how individuals can be ostracized for being different.
