I think there is a reason why she has been distilled into
A pixelated figure (on fire)
Surely I cannot be the only one who has grieved for the
Deep sleeper,
Someone’s daughter
Burning with the door open,
Why in hell was the door open
Yet
…she dies alone
It may seem too hard to research each name on this list and read their stories, but it is worth the time.
We need to figure out how to grieve with the victims and their families.

Matthew 21:28-30 KJV
[28] But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard. [29] He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went. [30] And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.

I have read TKM countless times. When I was younger, I would read it around once a year.
I also studied Alabama history in the 4th grade. I do not believe the curriculum included mention of the Scottsboro Boys.
It has always bothered me that Tom ran and then was shot, not because it is implausible, but because it is a cheap way out for Harper.
I want a sequel in which Jem lives, Scout and Dill confront their personal demons, and Atticus doggedly pursues appeals for Tom.

Matthew 22:1-14 KJV
[1] And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said, [2] The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, [3] And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. [4] Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. [5] But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: [6] And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. [7] But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. [8] Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. [9] Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. [10] So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. [11] And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: [12] And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. [13] Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. [14] For many are called, but few are chosen.
Consider reading this not as one continuous parable, but as several. How would it look if each verse was a parable?
