It helps the reader become aware of what kind of timeline Scout is living in. If people in her neighborhood is using this word, then it is proven that Scout is a racist environment. That discriminates against people of dark skin. As shown in the story, when people were calling Scout's father a rude name, that relates to the racism that has been happening around Maycomb]]> 2021-06-09 15:42:50 UTC https://padlet.com/paige_egelston1/49djgx1hyae0a4aw/wish/1596126341 Do you think it is necessary for the "n-word" to be included in the book? 1974351 https://padlet.com/paige_egelston1/49djgx1hyae0a4aw/wish/1596275343 For starters I believe that the N-word shouldn't be in the book because kids like to repeat them selves and people hate when other are being racist to others. The n-word also means to be disrespectful and hateful. They believe that n-words have a "low value" and white skins have a high value.

The first reason I wouldn't agree and think its unnecessary is because its really brutal and there's many synonyms that can be used. Also, because it sounds really disrespectful and racist. ]]> 2021-06-09 17:21:26 UTC https://padlet.com/paige_egelston1/49djgx1hyae0a4aw/wish/1596403809 Do you think it is necessary for the "n-word" to be included in the book? https://padlet.com/paige_egelston1/49djgx1hyae0a4aw/wish/1596404428 I believe that the themes are important to learn in school however I feel that the theme could have been explored without the use of the word.]]> 2021-06-09 17:21:38 UTC https://padlet.com/paige_egelston1/49djgx1hyae0a4aw/wish/1596404428 Do you think it is necessary for the "n-word" to be included in TKAM? 1990401 https://padlet.com/paige_egelston1/49djgx1hyae0a4aw/wish/1596423431 I don't think that it should be used in the book because kids are going to repeat those same words. ]]> 2021-06-09 17:28:14 UTC https://padlet.com/paige_egelston1/49djgx1hyae0a4aw/wish/1596423431 Should the "n-word" be included in the novel? https://padlet.com/paige_egelston1/49djgx1hyae0a4aw/wish/1596424973 Yes, I think it is necessary for the "n-word" to be included in the novel because it brings awareness of the racism that occurred in the 1930s.
