“We call her Hairball Deluxe.  Wanna know why?”
He realized then that he did not want to know why.
(It’s supposed to be a little girl talking about her cat.  Just something that randomly came to me)

“Oh, shut up.” Tony sighs, rubs his face. “Like I need an excuse for another kid. This one can dig through CCTV data, cellphone footage, whatever- to try and find him.

THATS THE POINT OF THE FUCKING BOOK!

Fuckin excuse me but Boo Radley saved those children, Boo Radley made a fuckin change in his life?? Also the thing Boo Radley had to change was ‘crushing anxiety/agoraphobia and being a social pariah’, not ‘is a racist’ or ‘abused own kid’, like please.

My writing teacher described it as ‘the book that is put on reading lists to make white people feel better’

Like there was a scene where a bunch of people came down to lynch an innocent black dude and these guys were portrayed as wrong headed but fundamentally good, and a woman who screamed racial epithets as ‘a real lady’.

You can yowl about Bob Ewell, but how are people like Walter Cunningham and Ms Dubose seen? Those are the everyday monstrosity of racism in the world, and in the world of To Kill a Mockingbird, they are a-okay.

Like, you can defend this book against nazis, but don’t pretend it’s the fucking Invisible Man, okay?
