In the novel 'To Kill a Mockingbird' by Harper Lee, a memorable quote reads as follows: 'Mockingbirds don't do one thing except make music for us to enjoy. They don't eat up people's gardens, don't nest in corn cribs, they don't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That's why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.' Utilizing your understanding of the passive voice, how might this excerpt be rewritten to emphasize the actions performed on the mockingbird rather than the actions the mockingbird performs itself?

Nothing is done by the mockingbirds except for music being made for our enjoyment. People's gardens are not eaten up by them, corn cribs are not used as nesting places by them, nothing is done by them but having their hearts sung out for us. That's why a mockingbird being killed is considered a sin.

Mockingbirds only make music for us to enjoy. They don't eat up people's gardens, don't nest in corn cribs, they don't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That's why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.
