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 1914 Views
Huh. I seem to have missed that. Camilla - 22/05/2011 11:17:11 PM 1832 Views
As you noted, though, it's a fuller depiction of the South than "racist people." Ghavrel - 23/05/2011 12:00:01 AM 1806 Views
It's a beautiful, incredible book. Rebekah - 22/05/2011 08:21:48 PM 1765 Views

Don't you think that, you know, too many people have read it already? Legolas - 23/05/2011 09:55:52 PM 1782 Views

Does that disqualify it? Sareitha Sedai - 24/05/2011 01:49:54 PM 1734 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 1727 Views
Well, that's true. Sareitha Sedai - 25/05/2011 01:20:54 PM 1841 Views
Loved that book. Tashmere - 22/05/2011 09:07:16 PM 1739 Views

Indeed. *NM* Camilla - 23/05/2011 09:37:38 AM 907 Views
Bah. This seems like a lame book. It will never catch on. Cannoli - 23/05/2011 01:31:10 AM 1862 Views
LOL *NM* Rebekah - 23/05/2011 08:36:55 AM 880 Views

Um, there's already a rfilm version of this. Panorphaeon - 23/05/2011 01:11:36 PM 1616 Views
Suspect he knows that. *NM* Rebekah - 23/05/2011 01:15:46 PM 917 Views
Boy, that sarcastic subtext can be so hard to grasp in this virtual madness. *NM* Panorphaeon - 25/05/2011 06:49:03 AM 921 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 909 Views
So it survives being taught in school? Camilla - 23/05/2011 09:39:18 AM 1729 Views
Yup. *NM* Darth_Katie - 23/05/2011 02:47:17 PM 922 Views
I've met some, but it was a casualty of middle school English. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/05/2011 07:40:27 PM 837 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 1947 Views

Let me ask the politically incorrect questions, since no one else has. Tom - 24/05/2011 03:14:50 AM 1957 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 1876 Views
Hmm Camilla - 24/05/2011 10:22:50 AM 1825 Views
I could see your argument if Tolkien were writing about feminism. Tom - 24/05/2011 02:15:42 PM 1847 Views
I think that's a fair point. Legolas - 24/05/2011 07:00:04 PM 1832 Views
Calpurnia is a stereotype too. Tom - 24/05/2011 11:54:26 PM 1768 Views
The difference, at least in my recollection, is that Calpurnia is well-educated. Legolas - 25/05/2011 08:09:58 PM 1712 Views

And some poets - Tennyson and Yeats come to mind. *NM* Legolas - 13/06/2011 10:11:31 AM 827 Views
Keats? Camilla - 13/06/2011 10:14:58 AM 1815 Views
