Em uma pequena cidade do Alabama, nos Estados Unidos da década de 1930, a vida pacata de Scout Finch, uma menina curiosa e inteligente, é abalada por um julgamento que marcará a comunidade e a própria família. Através dos olhos de Scout, acompanhamos a história de Atticus Finch, seu pai, um advogado respeitado que decide defender Tom Robinson, um homem negro injustamente acusado de um crime. Neste episódio, vamos mergulhar no universo de 'O Sol É Para Todos', um clássico da literatura que aborda temas como racismo, injustiça e amadurecimento. Harper Lee, com sua escrita envolvente e personagens memoráveis, nos convida a refletir sobre a importância da empatia, da coragem e da luta por um mundo mais justo. Você vai descobrir como a história se desenrola em meio a um contexto social marcado pela segregação racial, e como as crianças Scout e Jem, com sua visão inocente, testemunham os desafios e as contradições da sociedade em que vivem.

When Lori Keesey wrote and illustrated a story about three puppies lost in a hatbox, it piqued her interest in writing. An introduction to Scout Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird many years later sealed the deal. Lori decided then that she wanted to write fiction. Many, many years passed—and hundreds of novels were read—before Lori realized her goal with her debut novel, Always Think of Me. A former journalist, Lori has written for daily newspapers, trade publications, and magazines and worked for NASA in public outreach for nearly twenty years as a communication consultant. She graduated from the University of Maryland, College Park, where she met her husband, Kevin Berry, the father of their three sons. Lori was born in Washington, DC, and now calls Walland, Tennessee, home. Lori Keesey considers herself among the lucky. Recently retired, Lori enjoyed a 40-plus-year career as a writer and now has time to pursue her childhood dream of writing fictional characters who make a difference. She is married and is the mother of three boys and one dog. A devout porch sitter, nothing makes her happier than looking at her view of the Chilhowee Mountains and Smoky Mountain National Park.

A Lasting Passage: Maycomb was an old town, but it was a tired old town when I first knew it. In rainy weather the streets turned to red slop; grass grew on the sidewalks, the courthouse sagged in the square. Somehow, it was hotter then: a Black dog suffered on a summer's day; bony mules hitched to Hoover carts flicked flies in the sweltering shade of the live oaks on the square. Men's stiff collars wilted by nine in the morning. Ladies bathed before noon, after their three-o'clock naps, and by nightfall were like soft teacakes with frostings of sweat and sweet talcum.People moved slowly then. They ambled across the square, shuffled in and out of the stores around it, took their time about everything. A day was twenty-four hours long but seemed longer. There was no hurry, for there was nowhere to go, nothing to buy and no money to buy it with, nothing to see outside the boundaries of Maycomb County.

To Kill a Mockingbird, a 1960 novel by Harper Lee, is an iconic masterpiece set in the 1930s Deep South that confronts American society's deep-seated prejudices and injustices. Positioned in the racially divided town of Maycomb, Alabama, during the Great Depression, the story follows Scout Finch, a young girl coming of age in a world filled with racial tension and injustice. Whose father, Atticus Finch, defends an African-American accused of raping a white woman. Through the lens of Scout's innocent perspective, we witness the deeply ingrained racism and the unfair treatment African Americans faced during that time. The novel highlights the unjust treatment of a person of colour individuals experienced within the legal system, the ingrained biases held by many white people, and the consequences of these attitudes on the lives of marginalized communities. It sheds light on the destructive impact of racism and the importance of challenging societal norms to fight for justice and equality. In the current period, characterized by nuanced intersectionalism, To Kill a Mockingbird remains relevant as it addresses racial injustice from a historical perspective. One prominent example is the character of Bob Ewell, who embodies pure malevolence and represents the dark side of humanity. Ewell, fuelled by hatred and racism, falsely accuses Tom Robinson, an African-American man, of rape. He intentionally seeks to destroy an innocent man's life simply because of his prejudices. The townspeople unquestioningly support and believe Ewell's accusations despite the lack of evidence against Tom Robinson.  Furthermore, the character of Mayella Ewell, Bob Ewell's daughter, participates in the false accusation against Tom Robinson.  While her actions are influenced by fear and coercion from her father, her willingness to harm another person to protect herself and her family reflects the dark side of human nature. The novel also sheds light on societal expectations and gender roles. Scout defies traditional gender norms by rejecting femininity and embracing her tomboyish nature. Her refusal to conform challenges prevailing notions about being a girl in Southern society during that period. When analysing the novel through an intersectional lens, it becomes evident that issues of race, gender, class, and power dynamics are interwoven. To Kill a Mockingbird remains an extraordinary work that resonates with readers across generations. Harper Lee's searing portrayal of racism, empathy, and loss of innocence forces us to confront uncomfortable truths about our own society. Learn more:

(It's a happy coincidence that this episode is being released on MLK Jr. Day in the US!)To Kill a Mockingbird is Harper Lee's 1960 masterpiece and has remained noteworthy and controversial for its entire history. It's never been out of print, is taught in schools across North America, and in Paul's opinion is one of the books everyone must read.Its heroes and villains are simple to see and understand, its themes clear. And yet, because it is told from the point of view of Scout Finch, a young girl, there is still so much that is unexplained and implied.In this episode, Paul looks at how the motif of light in darkness is used in several key scenes and in relation to some of the key characters, including Scout, Atticus, Jem, and of course Boo Radley.Lee, Harper.

为你读英语美文 · 第342期 《杀死一只知更鸟》主播：娇娇坐标：芝加哥To Kill a Mockingbird takes place in the town of Maycomb, Alabama, during the Great Depression in 1930's and is narrated by the main character, a little girl named Jean Louise Finch, who is referred to as “Scout”. Throughout the story. Through her neighborhood meanderings and the influence of her father, she grows to understand that the world isn't always fair and that prejudice is a very real aspect of the small town where she lives, no matter how subtle it appears to be on the surface. “杀死一只知更鸟“的故事是在1930 年大萧条时期，在阿拉巴马州的Maycomb镇发生，并由故事主角，一个名叫Scout Finch的小女孩讲述，通过她的邻居和她父亲的影响，她逐渐明白世界并不总是公平的，偏见真实的存在于她所居住的小镇，无论它在表面上看起来多么微妙。As the story begins, Scout, Jem, and Dill are intrigued by the reclusive Boo. He lives close to the Finch's house and local legend has it that he once stabbed his father in the leg with a pair of scissors. They imagine him as a kind of monster.故事是从这里开始的，Scout，Jem和Dill对隐居的Boo很感兴趣。Boo住在靠近Finch家的地方。当地传说，他曾用一把剪刀刺伤了他父亲的腿。于是大家把Boo想象成一种怪物。The children enact little dramas about Boo's life. They start to venture closer to the Radley house, which is said to be haunted. Then they try leaving notes for Boo on his windowsill with a fishing pole but are caught by Atticus. He firmly reprimands them for making fun of a sad man's life. 孩子们喜欢上演关于Boo的生活小戏剧。。他们开始冒险离Radley房子越来越近，据说这个房子闹鬼。他们用钓鱼竿在他的窗台下挂纸条给Boo，但被Atticus抓住了，并谴责这些孩子不应该取笑悲伤人的生活。 The children continue to sneak around the Radley house at night. Boo's brother thinks he hears a prowler and fires his gun. The children run away, but Jem loses his pants in a fence. When he returns in the middle of the night to get them back, they have been neatly folded and the tear from the fence roughly sewn up. 孩子们晚上继续潜入Radley家。 Boo的兄弟认为他听到了小偷的声音并开枪。孩子们逃跑了，但是Jem在围栏里拉下了他的裤子。当他在半夜去拿回他的裤子时，发现裤子被整齐地叠起来了，而围栏的撕裂也粗粗的修补好了。Other mysterious things begin to happen to the Finch children. A tree near the Radley house has a knot-hole in which someone leaves little presents for them. The children find pennies, chewing gum, and soap-carved figures that bear a striking resemblance to Scout and Jem. When the children try to leave a note for the mystery giver, they find that Boo's brother has plugged up the hole with cement. 其他神秘的事情开始发生在Finch的孩子身上。Radley家附近的一棵树上有一个洞，有人为孩子们留下了小礼物。孩子们找到便士，口香糖以及肥皂雕刻的人物，与Scout和Jem有着惊人的相似之处。当孩子们试图给神秘者留下一张纸条时，他们发现Boo的兄弟用水泥堵住了这个洞。 One day, Jem invites one of his poorest classmates, Walter Cunningham, over for lunch. At the Finch house, Scout notes that Atticus and Walter discuss farming “like two men.” Walter asks for some molasses and proceeds to pour it all over his meat and vegetables. When Scout rudely asks what in the ‘sam hill' he is doing, Calpurnia gives her a lecture in the kitchen about how to treat guests—no matter what their background. 有一天，Jem邀请他最贫穷的同学Walter Cunningham来吃午饭。在Finch的房子里，Scout注意到Atticus和Walter讨论农业“就像两个男人一样。" Walter要求一些糖蜜并将其全部倒在他的肉和蔬菜上。当Scout粗鲁地问他正在做什么“山姆山”时，Calpurnia Finch家的管家）在厨房里为她讲述了无论客人的背景如何，都应该尊重对待客人的道理。 Meanwhile, Atticus decides to take on a case involving a black man named Tom Robinson who has been falsely accused of raping a very poor white girl named Mayella Ewell. The Finch family faces harsh criticism in the heavily racist Maycomb because of Atticus's decision to defend Tom. Atticus believes both that Tom is innocent and that he has almost no chance at an acquittal; the white jury will never believe a black man over a white woman. Despite this, Atticus seeks to reveal the truth to his fellow townspeople. 与此同时，Atticus决定接受一名名叫Tom Robinson的黑人男子的案件，该男子被诬告强奸一名叫Mayella Ewell的非常贫穷的白人女孩。由于Atticus决定为Tom辩护，Finch家族在严重种族主义下受到严厉的批评。虽然Atticus认为Tom是无辜的，但Atticus 知道Tom几乎没有机会获得无罪释放; 白人陪审团永远不会相信一个黑人是对的。尽管如此，Atticus仍试图向他的同乡们揭露真相。 Because Atticus is defending a black man, Scout and Jem are the object of the townspeople's whispers and ridicule. At a family Christmas gathering, Scout beats up her cloying relative Francis when he accuses Atticus of ruining the family with a very ill name. 因为Atticus正在捍卫一个黑人，所以Sout和Jem 成为了市民议论和嘲笑的对象。在一次家庭圣诞节聚会上，当亲戚Francis指责Atticus因为成为一名“黑鬼爱好者”而破坏家族名誉的时候，Scout用言语击败了她的亲戚。主播介绍娇娇 Nina Zhan 11 岁娇娇的节目通过微信公众号“娇点英语” 播出

2019 Tony Award Winner, Celia Keenan-Bolger, opens up about her motherhood experience; how bringing Scout Finch to life eight times a week has been as fulfilling as it has been depleting, and how she navigates that, all while raising her son with the same call to action that her parents instilled in her.

On this extra-spooky episode - 004. The Illusion That They Were Still Alive - Vania (@surfmartian) and Eric (@conspiracy.of.cartographers) go a bit longer than usual, but we assure you it’s worth it (and still shorter than most podcasts). Things start off in a fairly normal way as we say hello and have a quick chat about Ilford’s “new” Ortho 80. Are we excited? Sure. Are we incredibly excited? Listen and find out. We then check the answering machine, which is also a normal thing.  This week’s messages are all about unexpectedly fruitful locations. We’ll hear from @elgatomagnifico @mike_on_film @ninlyone @jtheokauth and @space_critter. We also give some vague ideas about our locations. Here’s where things get a bit spooky, so hold on. For this episode, Vania dug into the Victorian tradition of post-mortem photography. Get ready for some sad and interesting photos of dead people. But digging a bit deeper, she found some deathbed photography and even some pet photography (dead, of course).  It might seem weird now, but it was pretty normal then. Basically. This led to a talk about old timey photos, which prompted us to give Jennifer Froula Weber (@jenniferfroulaweber) a call. She’s a tintype photographer who began her analog camera journey with tintypes (seriously). We talk not just tintypes, but history, the magic of 620 cameras, and how Swedish silent films have influenced her work. (Also, big shout out to Scout Finch.) But then it’s back to the 1800s (though it’s not really like we left it with Jennifer) for Eric’s piece on William Mumler, Spirit Photographer. He claimed to have accidentally captured a spirit on a glass negative while taking a selfie. And there it is, clear as day - the ghost and Mr. Mumler. This “accident” was replicated hundreds of times and made him a whole slew of money. Was he arrested for fraud? Was P.T. Barnum involved? How about Mary Todd Lincoln? Find out! We end the episode with a bit of a primer for the next episode, when we’ll have our first movie night and watch Hitchcock’s Rear Window, a film that stars the Exakta Verex VX (as well as Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly). Music was provided by Last Regiment of Syncopated Drummers (@lastregiment) 

The four-time Tony nominee opens up about being fired from 'The Light in the Piazza' just before it went to Broadway, how she rebounded in a series of musicals before breaking into plays and what it's like playing children on stage, most recently 8-year-old Scout Finch in Aaron Sorkin's blockbuster production. Credits: Hosted by Scott Feinberg, recorded by Ryan Gabos and produced by Matthew Whitehurst and Joshua Farnham.

The incandescent Celia Keenan-Bolger is one of New York’s most respected actors and community activists. Originally from Detroit, she’s been nominated for four Tony Awards: “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee,” “Peter and the Starcatcher,” “The Glass Menagerie,” and now Aaron Sorkin’s acclaimed adaptation of the Harper Lee classic, “To Kill a Mockingbird,” in which she plays Scout Finch. Celia joins Backstage to talk about epiphanies onstage, how not to “compare and despair,” and the state of Broadway—and America—today. -- For over 50 years, Backstage has been the most trusted place for actors to find jobs and career advice, and for casting professionals to find the right performers for their projects. “In the Envelope: An Awards Podcast” features interviews with some of the most exciting actors and storytellers working today.

They say it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird, so we get to sinning with Harper Lee’s immortal required reading classic. Learn how Lee plagiarized her own life, why Atticus Finch needs to sharpen his lawyer skills, and how all problems can be solved by punching and/or kicking. Megan chronicles the thrilling exploits of a pair of pants and RJ finally nails an impression.

Earlier this month, Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird was banned from public schools in Biloxi, Miss., for making people “uncomfortable.” Yup, you read that right. Uncomfortable. Banned. Yikes. Your faithful Re:Readers can’t lie: taking another look at Lee’s masterpiece made us a little uncomfy, too. Difference is, we don’t want to ban it; we want everyone to read it so we can start up a thoughtful, ongoing conversation about race, childhood, and belonging-and-othering in the American South and beyond. We also want to talk about why Jessica let her own personal Boo Radley into her home as a young child. So much to discuss.Say it with us: We Read (And Re:Read) Banned Books!To reread this particular banned book with us, grab a copy of To Kill a Mockingbird at your local bookstore or neighborhood library, or download it from your favorite digital book space.Beyond Re:Read In 2015, Harper Lee published her second novel, Go Set a Watchman, which was an early draft of Mockingbird. The publication--and content--generated much controversy. We think it’s worth a look, if only for the historical perspective it offers when trying to understand Lee and the context in which she dreamt the story for To Kill a Mockingbird. For more on Harper Lee’s life and the story behind the publication of Mockingbird and Watchman, check out the biography Mockingbird: A Portrait of Harper Lee by Charles J. Shields. After all the reading, if you’re in search of some screen time, watch Gregory Peck take on the role of Atticus Finch in the beloved film version of To Kill a Mockingbird, currently streaming on Netflix.Fun FactsDill, best childhood pal of Jem and Scout Finch, was based on Harper Lee’s real-life next door neighbor: Truman Capote. Best literary besties ever? We think so, too.Lee was finally able to turn to writing full time when some friends gave her enough money to serve as a salary for one year while she worked on Mockingbird.Lee wanted Atticus to be played by Spencer Tracey on the silver screen, but the role ultimately went to Gregory Peck. We think he did it justice, and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences apparently did, too: He was nominated for--and won--the Oscar for Best Actor in 1962.
