9 comments:
1.The "it" in "Everything she wrote about it is absolutely true" is how Harper Lee really did have a neighbor who hid things in the trees.
2. Lee is fine with the film adaptation of Mockingbird because it preserved her novel. Lee says "If the integrity of a film adaptation is measured by the degree to which the novelist's intent is preserved, Mr. Foote's screenplay should be studied as a classic."
3. The statement is "Now, 75 years later in an abundant society where people have laptops, cell phones, iPods and minds like empty rooms, I still plod along with books."
4. Harper Lee's three favorite authors and books by them are Jane Austen (Emma), Charles Lamb (Essays of Elia), and Robert Louis Stevenson (Treasure Island).
5. For several years Lee has quietly attended the awards ceremony for an essay contest on "To Kill a Mockingbird," at the University of Alabama.
6. The Scottsboro Trials are relevant to the novel because it took place in Alabama when Lee was six-years-old and has many parallels between the book. The trial took place because nine African-American men were accused of something that there was no evidence for.
7. Harper Lee doesnt just send out a stock response to the media because they would just say 'Hell, no.'
8. The state wide essay winner was Adrienne Faris. Ragan Stevens plays Scout in a school play and developed a repoire with Lee.
9. Some parallels between Harper Lee's real life and her novel are that she based Dill on her real life neighbor and friend, Truman Capote. She really did have a neighbor like Boo Radley, grew up in Alabama, and her father was a lawyer. Lee was also a tomboy like Scout. "a rough 'n' tough tomboy.... She had short, cropped hair, wore coveralls, went barefoot, and could talk mean like a boy," according to Marianne M. Moates in A Bridge of Childhood: Truman Capote's Southern Years.
10. Truman Capote based Idabel Tompkins from his novel Other Voices, Other Rooms on Harper Lee.
