little up tight about what they want in a given article Also what do you guys think about putting a quote from the book at the beginning of the article I think that might be a pretty good idea The article has been under some intense copyediting and scrutiny for preparation for a featured article The plot summary should stay as it was Quotes at the beginning of the article are not a good idea I don t know if this is what you had in mind but it s something I noticed a few years back I first read TKAM in 1960 I was 9 and since then I ve read it at least once a year It is a rare book that you can read over and over and still find new things About 5 years ago I read the book and about half way down the first page I realized that in the universe that Harper Lee created in this book the actual story is very simple and innocent Scout is just explaining how Jem broke his arm I have always plumbed the depths of this book talked about the profundity it s allusion the allegory But this reread I reckon I saw things through Scouts eyes and just listend to what she was saying To paraphrase When my brother Jem was 13 he broke his arm badly at the elbow Then she tells the events that lead up to this happening Might not be what you want but I think it s fascinating Atticus protagonist The quote in the second paragraph identifies Atticus as the protagonist but I was always under the impression that Scout was the protagonist since all the events revolve around her perspective I even said she was the protagonist in my addition to the Plot Summary section Am I wrong or is the quote mistaken or what What needs to happen in either case It may not even be that big of a deal but I d like to get an answer Atticus is not described as the protagonist by the article but by a legal writer He has been the subject of more papers in legal journals than any of the other characters in any sort of writing so it bears pointing out that fame in the lead I ve had to remove information about Atticus per the suggestions of other editors who are assisting me in preparing the article for feature and Atticus has his own article that I shifted some information to bryan sommers Fantastic article To avoid posting to the FAC page can I inquire about this block here While attending college she wrote for campus literary magazines Huntress at Huntingdon and the humor magazine Rammer Jammer at the University of Alabama At both schools she wrote short stories and other works about racial injustice rarely mentioned topics on these campuses at the time This sentence refers to topics but one topic racial injustice is given which was were rarely would be clearer so mentioned can t be read as a verb which I did when it occurred at the end of a line The words I struck seem better placed in the bio Changed my mind about a second point that s all at the moment Thanks Thanks for the heads up Outriggr And thanks for reading it In the film version Tom is shot while being transported to the prison it is implied that he was killed and then the story about him running away was made up to hide the blatant murder In the book it is much less clear even on my 5th reading this thought did not enter my mind that he was murdered and the story was invented to hide the fact I think the interpretive twist in the film changes the impact considerably It highlights how society is on trial rather than racism Preceding unsigned comment added by 67 159 71 32 List of characters The list of characters has been deliberately excluded from the article There is already an article on the characters in the book and the detail of this article does not warrant a list without any descriptions Much of what wo
