\u201cShoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit \u2019em, but remember it\u2019s a sin to kill a mockingbird.’\u201dThat was the only time I ever heard Atticus say it was a sin to do something, and I asked Miss Maudie about it.\u201d\u2018Your father\u2019s right,\u2019 she said. \u2018Mockingbirds don\u2019t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Harper Lee,\u00a0To Kill A Mockingbird<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cTake me to a place without no name.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harper Lee\u2019s book\u00a0To Kill A Mockingbird\u00a0<\/i>continues to get reproduced. It is read across the country in school. Now the book is going to Broadway. We should all breathe a sigh of relief that\u00a0Hamilton<\/i>\u00a0no longer center stage. What was with that play anyways? Could anyone figure that out? Wasn\u2019t American history class nauseating and unbelievable for more people? If there was a national poll on\u00a0Hamilton<\/i>\u00a0one would guess it would do no better than the 1% who actually saw it.<\/p>\n

Hamilton<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0To Kill A Mockingbird<\/i>\u00a0are the same story, more or less. It\u2019s a fairy type of heroic rich white men in a history that produced none of these characters. To dull the sins of the present moment these stories are repeated. History is told inaccurately not for history\u2019s sake, but for the sake of the present. If there were heroes in the past, why couldn\u2019t there be heroes now?<\/p>\n

To Kill A Mockingbird<\/em> isn\u2019t about a black guy (Tom Robinson) getting accused of rape….<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
