Pure American Democracy and Law

Garland 2022-04-20 09:01:11

Three small children, can freely enter and leave the court. Residents are free to sit in on the approval. The small country and widow people in Lao Tzu's writings are probably nothing more than this.

For the rights of those who do nothing, do it when they know it is impossible. This is the long-lost American democracy, the American dream of freedom. A fairy tale written by an American director. With the process of modernization, in today's United States, the black problem has not only not eased, but it seems to have intensified. So fairy tales can only be fairy tales forever, crushed by reality.

Man is born free, but everywhere he is in chains.

To Kill a Mockingbird quotes

  • Tom Robinson: I can't use my left hand at all. I got it caught in a cotton gin when I was twelve years old. All my muscles were tore loose.

  • [testifying]

    Tom Robinson: Well, I said I best be goin', I couldn't do nothin' for her, an' she said, oh, yes I could. An' I asked her what, and she said to jus' step on the chair yonder an' git that box down from on top of the chifforobe. So I done like she told me, and I was reachin' when the next thing I know she... grabbed me aroun' the legs.

    [a murmur erupts in the courthouse]

    Tom Robinson: She scared me so bad I hopped down an' turned the chair over. That was the only thing, only furniture 'sturbed in the room, Mr. Finch, I swear, when I left it... Mr. Finch, I got down off the chair, and I turned around an' she sorta jumped on me. She hugged me aroun' the waist. She reached up an' kissed me on the face. She said she'd never kissed a grown man before an' she might as well kiss me. She says for me to kiss her back.

    [Tom shakes his head, re-living the ordeal with his eyes half-closed]

    Tom Robinson: And I said, Miss Mayella, let me outta here, an' I tried to run. Mr. Ewell cussed at her from the window and said he's gonna kill her.
