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 2077 Views
Huh. I seem to have missed that. Camilla - 22/05/2011 11:17:11 PM 1982 Views
As you noted, though, it's a fuller depiction of the South than "racist people." Ghavrel - 23/05/2011 12:00:01 AM 1967 Views
It's a beautiful, incredible book. Rebekah - 22/05/2011 08:21:48 PM 1902 Views

Don't you think that, you know, too many people have read it already? Legolas - 23/05/2011 09:55:52 PM 1945 Views

Does that disqualify it? Sareitha Sedai - 24/05/2011 01:49:54 PM 1872 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 1907 Views
Well, that's true. Sareitha Sedai - 25/05/2011 01:20:54 PM 2006 Views
Loved that book. Tashmere - 22/05/2011 09:07:16 PM 1879 Views

“Miss Jean Louise, stand up. Your father’s passin’.” *NM* Ghavrel - 23/05/2011 12:03:34 AM 987 Views
Indeed. *NM* Camilla - 23/05/2011 09:37:38 AM 986 Views
Bah. This seems like a lame book. It will never catch on. Cannoli - 23/05/2011 01:31:10 AM 2027 Views
LOL *NM* Rebekah - 23/05/2011 08:36:55 AM 978 Views
Hehehe. *NM* Camilla - 23/05/2011 09:38:03 AM 1028 Views
Um, there's already a rfilm version of this. Panorphaeon - 23/05/2011 01:11:36 PM 1768 Views
Suspect he knows that. *NM* Rebekah - 23/05/2011 01:15:46 PM 1001 Views
Boy, that sarcastic subtext can be so hard to grasp in this virtual madness. *NM* Panorphaeon - 25/05/2011 06:49:03 AM 1002 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 983 Views
So it survives being taught in school? Camilla - 23/05/2011 09:39:18 AM 1876 Views
Yup. *NM* Darth_Katie - 23/05/2011 02:47:17 PM 1006 Views
I've met some, but it was a casualty of middle school English. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/05/2011 07:40:27 PM 913 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 2092 Views

Let me ask the politically incorrect questions, since no one else has. Tom - 24/05/2011 03:14:50 AM 2101 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 2052 Views
Hmm Camilla - 24/05/2011 10:22:50 AM 1995 Views
I could see your argument if Tolkien were writing about feminism. Tom - 24/05/2011 02:15:42 PM 2006 Views
I think that's a fair point. Legolas - 24/05/2011 07:00:04 PM 2011 Views
Calpurnia is a stereotype too. Tom - 24/05/2011 11:54:26 PM 1910 Views
The difference, at least in my recollection, is that Calpurnia is well-educated. Legolas - 25/05/2011 08:09:58 PM 1872 Views
Re: The difference, at least in my recollection, is that Calpurnia is well-educated. Camilla - 25/05/2011 10:59:26 PM 1972 Views
Yes. This. *NM* Tom - 26/05/2011 04:56:48 AM 906 Views

Almost a non-incident Tom - 24/05/2011 08:51:59 PM 1775 Views
I think it was written to accomplish a goal and it did that very well random thoughts - 25/05/2011 04:08:17 PM 1909 Views

And some poets - Tennyson and Yeats come to mind. *NM* Legolas - 13/06/2011 10:11:31 AM 893 Views
Keats? Camilla - 13/06/2011 10:14:58 AM 1969 Views
