I think there was at least once incident showing a racist black person ßelals Girl Send a noteboard - 24/05/2011 07:33:09 PM
The housekeeper took the kids to her church and there was one woman there who confronted her and told her the kids should leave because they should go to their "own church." I think she had to be told to stand down by the other people in the congregation.

I'm probably mis-remembering some of this though. 10th grade was a long time ago :P

I reviewed it last year Larry - 22/05/2011 07:45:48 PM 2630 Views
Huh. I seem to have missed that. Camilla - 22/05/2011 11:17:11 PM 2554 Views
As you noted, though, it's a fuller depiction of the South than "racist people." Ghavrel - 23/05/2011 12:00:01 AM 2521 Views
It's a beautiful, incredible book. Rebekah - 22/05/2011 08:21:48 PM 2470 Views

Don't you think that, you know, too many people have read it already? Legolas - 23/05/2011 09:55:52 PM 2485 Views

Does that disqualify it? Sareitha Sedai - 24/05/2011 01:49:54 PM 2400 Views
I don't know, if a lot of people want to have this book in a Book Club, I have no objections. Legolas - 24/05/2011 07:01:38 PM 2479 Views
Well, that's true. Sareitha Sedai - 25/05/2011 01:20:54 PM 2525 Views
Loved that book. Tashmere - 22/05/2011 09:07:16 PM 2441 Views

Indeed. *NM* Camilla - 23/05/2011 09:37:38 AM 1257 Views
Bah. This seems like a lame book. It will never catch on. Cannoli - 23/05/2011 01:31:10 AM 2582 Views
LOL *NM* Rebekah - 23/05/2011 08:36:55 AM 1256 Views
Hehehe. *NM* Camilla - 23/05/2011 09:38:03 AM 1291 Views
Um, there's already a rfilm version of this. Panorphaeon - 23/05/2011 01:11:36 PM 2291 Views
Suspect he knows that. *NM* Rebekah - 23/05/2011 01:15:46 PM 1252 Views
Boy, that sarcastic subtext can be so hard to grasp in this virtual madness. *NM* Panorphaeon - 25/05/2011 06:49:03 AM 1362 Views
I don't think I've ever met anyone who doesn't like this book. *NM* Darth_Katie - 23/05/2011 09:37:52 AM 1248 Views
So it survives being taught in school? Camilla - 23/05/2011 09:39:18 AM 2418 Views
Yup. *NM* Darth_Katie - 23/05/2011 02:47:17 PM 1252 Views
I've met some, but it was a casualty of middle school English. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/05/2011 07:40:27 PM 1207 Views
One of my nieces didn't like it. I think it was because she was forced to read it for school. Tashmere - 24/05/2011 02:33:23 AM 2654 Views

Let me ask the politically incorrect questions, since no one else has. Tom - 24/05/2011 03:14:50 AM 2651 Views
I don't understand why having a guilty black man would have made it more powerful. Ghavrel - 24/05/2011 05:59:17 AM 2632 Views
Hmm Camilla - 24/05/2011 10:22:50 AM 2549 Views
I could see your argument if Tolkien were writing about feminism. Tom - 24/05/2011 02:15:42 PM 2560 Views
I think that's a fair point. Legolas - 24/05/2011 07:00:04 PM 2573 Views
Calpurnia is a stereotype too. Tom - 24/05/2011 11:54:26 PM 2455 Views
The difference, at least in my recollection, is that Calpurnia is well-educated. Legolas - 25/05/2011 08:09:58 PM 2403 Views

And some poets - Tennyson and Yeats come to mind. *NM* Legolas - 13/06/2011 10:11:31 AM 1162 Views
Keats? Camilla - 13/06/2011 10:14:58 AM 2505 Views
