[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know Atticus is not the moral, kind, etc person you describe.

Atticus is a racist... he says the KKK is a political organization, he says they don’t exist anymore in his town.

He’s not a good guy, he’s a bad guy who did a good thing.

Plus it’s a white savior role, which is a flaw in the whole narrative of the book. All classics are flawed. You didn’t learn why TKAM is flawed?

What is the major flaw? It’s a white savior book who dehumanizes and ignores all black characters. The story is about a black man falsely accused, but he is on the fringe of the story... portrayed as helpless, stupid and as useful as a mockingbird.

How is that a problem/flaw in the writing of the book?

Did you learn any of that in the 80’s?[/quote]

Dp Ok but if Harper Lee as a white person wrote more of from the Black perspective you would say "what does a white lady know what she is talking about Black people's thoughts and feelings?"  So she wrote it from the white perspective.  If you want Tom Robinson's view a Black person needs to do it.
