36、ping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.I dont only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety.

45、ith humanity beyond the shallow small talk of the school hallways. Disturbed by hormones (荷尔蒙）and anxiety, teenagers get through school with confusion and frustration. Literature is a safety valve (安全阀）一 it promises relief, a place to figure out ones problems and get to know oneself better.The novel

46、 particularly distinguishes itself in this aspect. It speaks in a childs voice without treating its readership as children. Some critics have called it an “impossible” achievement, a childrens book penned by a well-educated adult its unlikely that a child like Scout could exist in the real world. Bu

47、t thats exactly what makes it such a charming, attractive read for young people.

That absence of ambiguity (含糊其辞）in this novel doesnt mean the novel is free of challenging ideas, either. Will Serratelli, another literature student at Brown says, “There arent many hard moral questions

51、 being asked but it opens up all these other questions that 1 hadnt thought about before. My English teachers always asked, Do you sympathize (同情）with this character? Would you want to hang out with them? When you give a kid a book where those questions dont even need to be asked, it forces them to

52、dig deeper.”Mallons criticism is accurate in that this novel may present too limited a view of racism in America. Thats especially problematic because it is one of the only books consistently assigned to American students that acknowledges (承认）racial discrimination (歧视）at all. However, To Kill a Moc

53、kingbird may owe some of its popularity as a teaching text to the fact that the narrative voice is a white one. Naomi Vamis, an African Studies student at Brown says, “Its another practice of telling stories about black people through white central characters,” she says.While the novel is undoubtedl

54、y worth its place in the classroom, English teachers may do well to consider that it is a white authors perspective and ought to be the only beginning of a dialogue about race and never the final word.
