And as I said before, never underestimate the value of a good sucker punch, (which blacks have developed into an art form).<br /><br />Too many people have bought into the myth of the athletic black 'super-man'. Maybe that's subconsciously because athletics and entertainment are the only two venues blacks tend to excel in. There being rather few black rocket scientists and DNA criminologists in real life.

The book begins and ends with her talking about how Jem got his arm broken, not about how awful what happened to Tom was. Sure, Bob Ewell attacked Jem because hewas teed off that Atticus had defended a black man. But Bob Ewell is white trash. He could as easily have been teed off because Atticus saw him beating Mayella and stopped him. Tom's story doesn't even get as much attention as Boo Radley's. Throughout the book, the focus is on Atticus and what makes him an admirable man. The anti-racism is the medium, not the message."<br /><br />I'll put my 2 cents forth on TKM: several plot lines/characters underscore the theme of empathy, that one can't hope to understand others nor should one judge the behavior of others "until you walk in their shoes." That includes but is not limited to race: Mayella Ewell (white trash, and although lies about Boo, was raped/abused by her father; Boo Radley (notorious rumors abound about the town's recluse who is a harmless adult-child locked up by a "foot-washin' Baptist father when he got into some innocent fun as a kid); Tom Robinson(black); Burris Ewell, mean little SOB robbed of his education and humanity the drunk Ewell father; Mrs. Dubose, old lady addicted to morphine, who, in spite of her foul language directed at blacks is termed by Atticus "a great lady" and by Jem "the bravest lady" he ever knew; Mr. Cunningham and his son Walter, poor white farmers, etc.<br /><br />In short, all these characters are victims in one way or another. I agree that the novel has always been about much more than racial bigotry. <br /><br />The movie was a good adaptation as far as it went, but it left Americans with the impression that racial bigotry was the theme of the novel, which is an incomplete picture.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-84409849965358592252012-03-29T17:39:47.585-07:002012-03-29T17:39:47.585-07:00Interview questions I would have liked to see:
