发帖数: 7349 | 1 While To Kill a Mockingbird undoubtedly deserves its place in the classroom,
English teachers may do well to consider that it is a white author’s
perspective – and ought to be the mere beginning of a dialogue about race
and never the final word.
But as a gateway to more mature ideas, and as a YA distillation of complex
notions young people may not have grappled with before, Lee’s novel is
invaluable.
Today’s YA novels deal primarily with dystopian or supernatural themes,
but it’s To Kill a Mockingbird, with its deeply felt, autobiographical
evocation of a real-life time and place that has proven timeless. |
