there's a special section called wikiquotes. listen, if you're imaginative enough you can find 4 random quotes anywhere in the book that have almost no potential which you can then turn into quotes about discrimination. remember, even though it's the main part of the book it doesn't have to be discrimation against black people: it can be against women (not really people but w/e), discrimination against the old (atticus), or even against the unknown (scout and jem essentially discriminate against Boo Radley without knowing anything about him) |

Here let me help you. I'll find something. -[link]- "She seemed glad to see me when I appeared in the kitchen, and by watching her I began to think there was some skill involved in being a girl." Oh come on... that's like the most sexist thing I've read that I didn't initially author. "I think I'll be a clown when I get grown," said Dill. "Yes, sir, a clown.... There ain't one thing in this world I can do about folks except laugh, so I'm gonna join the circus and laugh my head off." "You got it backwards, Dill," said Jem. "Clowns are sad, it's folks that laugh at them." "Well, I'm gonna be a new kind of clown. I'm gonna stand in the middle of the ring and laugh at the folks." I dunno that's prejudice against clowns... or people who laugh against clowns... spin that somehow. "The one place where a man ought to get a square deal is in a courtroom, be he any color of the rainbow, but people have a way of carrying their resentments right into a jury box. As you grow older, you'll see white men cheat black men every day of your life, but let me tell you something and don't you forget it - whenever a white man does that to a black man, no matter who he is, how rich he is, or how fine a family he comes from, that white man is trash." That one is prejudice against racist white folks. There's nothing wrong with being a racist. "I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do." That one is prejudice against people who use guns to solve their problems... guns have been a great method of problem solving for hundreds of years... I say get with the times, you're living in a fantasy land. Ok now you don't need to use my explanations but those quotes are plenty discriminatory. |
