The author wrote this article because they believe that schools should stop reading the book because of the n-word. I disagree because it shows perspective of how people blacks in particular were treated to show that this is the only way to get this point across to tell people what they went through and what they felt.]]> 2017-11-20 18:28:36 UTC https://padlet.com/dennisonc/rc2gqlbs8pw9/wish/208839920 https://padlet.com/dennisonc/rc2gqlbs8pw9/wish/208840056 I disagree with this because, this author is making no sense at all. The author is trying to persuade us to not read the book by saying the "truth". He is saying that this book has the "N" word and how when people read it, it makes them uncomfortable, I think of it as, you will hear this word later in life. You cant just read a book just because of one word you don't believe in... He also states that it is a historic fact, but it makes people uncomfortable.  I find that very dumb.  You cant ignore history. --- Tim Borchmann]]> 2017-11-20 18:28:51 UTC https://padlet.com/dennisonc/rc2gqlbs8pw9/wish/208840056 https://padlet.com/dennisonc/rc2gqlbs8pw9/wish/208841427 In article one the main argument is just brief background and judgement on the film. In the review it gives a lot of background information or spoils parts of the film. On page one it brings up how Tom Robinson is not guilty, along with briefing the reader on how the kids have no mother and that Macomb is a very poor but not rich town also.  "...defending a Negro falsely accused of rape while raising his own impressionable, imaginative, motherless children in a hostile, terrifying environment of bigotry and economic depression."(Review, 1962)
The review also talks about the camera work and music during suspenseful moments in the film, such as in the woods for the fight between the children and Bob Ewell, this was a very high moment in the film with the setting of the scene and everything going on. The kids were headed home on Halloween night and someone attacks them in the woods. A moment in the article that talks about the great camera work is during the courtroom scene for Atticus's closing argument to the jury. "...in the long courtroom scene, Mulligan and Harlan have teamed to create a significant moment by inventive employment of the camera. When Peck in defending his client and making his impassioned plea for justice, addresses his remarks to the bigoted jury, he is acutally leaning over and speaking not to 12 people, but directly to the entire audience in the theatre."(Review, 1962)
I agree with this film review because I liked the film very much and the scene with Atticus talking to the jury did feel like he was talking to us watching the film. Not to mention the 'spooky' moment in the woods where Bob Ewell ends up dead was very suspenseful and filmed very well.]]> 2017-11-20 18:31:52 UTC https://padlet.com/dennisonc/rc2gqlbs8pw9/wish/208841427 https://padlet.com/dennisonc/rc2gqlbs8pw9/wish/208842046 The main focus of article 3 is ]]> 2017-11-20 18:33:09 UTC https://padlet.com/dennisonc/rc2gqlbs8pw9/wish/208842046
