celebrity gossip dirt image
CurleeTopp
He is a Canadian actor that appeared in ABC's V as "Marcus". My friend really likes him, but doesn't know how old he is and I can't find any information about his age/birthday online. I told her I would do whatever I could to try to find it, but I must admit, this celebrity gossip diva needs some MAJOR assistance... Anybody got the dirt I'm looking for?
Answer

It's unknown....
People who have seen To Kill a Mockingbird, and have read the book?
I need like three reasons for why Miss Maudie not being a more main character in the movie, hurt the movie, and why her being in the book helped the story. i also need a thesis statement for this. i'm really struggling here so it would be great if you could help me.
Answer
I don't remember how she was played in the movie, but in the book, she serves as a sort of "everywoman" -- a source of necessary information. Since Scout was motherless, Miss Maudie and Calpurnia both fill in that role -- Calpurnia is the "home" mother, making sure that Scout is presentable, fed, and behaves herself in everyday life. Miss Maudie is more of a "public motrher" -- remember Scout's words about how all the ladies dissapear inside their homes during the heat off the day, to emerge later, changed and "smelling of talcum powder,"' Miss Maudie sees that Scout is behaving herself (the incident with Scout breaking the heads off of flowets with a stick and Miss Maudie and Scout have a conversation about frustration. Miss Maudie is the example that Southern society expects Scout to be once she gets over the dirt, overall, and keeping up with Jem and Dill bit.*
There's awlays an underlying tension in the relationship between Miss Maudie and Atticus - both are single, of a similar age, have had a long friendship, and some of the townspeople probably gossip about their marriae prospedts & see it only fitting that Atticus marry someone to help him raise his children. Staying singe in those days just was not the standard for most people. The author doesn't bring this relationship out, but kindasorta hints arund it. Our minds, keyed to some sort of happy conclusion because of the films and books of the time -- in nearly every movie or book, someone wound up marrying someone, so the audience/readers are waiting for something that never happens.
*BTW, the character of "Dill" is based on the real-life author Truman Capote & Scout is a reflection of Harper Lee. Personally, I've alway wondered how much of "To Kill A Mockingbird" was written by Capote. He and Harper Lee worked together on the book, supposedly her writing and him editing, but if you read "In Cold Blood" and TKAM back-to-back, there is definitely a certain carryover of style. and voice. I met Capote hen I was about 20. but he was at the peak of his drug/achohol days, and I was too shy and intimedated to ask him Harper Lee wrote the one book and has never produce any other work. She lives, I hear, a very quiet, non celebrity life.
