Plot

I notice this article lacks a plot summary. I actually just read this book for a class on teaching Young Adult Lit, and I can write a ojects.--136.176.22.254 (talk) 06:24, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have to say that I strongly disagree with the hidden comment that appears on the edit screen on the article, for 2 reasons. 1) I don't agree that all of the information is really necessary for the average reader to understand the very long article: this isn't supposed to be a replacement for reading the book, and 2) I don't agree that anyone has the right to basically "lock down" a version of any Wikipedia article. Joyous | Talk 23:54, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The book has so many things that are unrelated that it's impossible to summarise shortly, however some things can be taken out and details removed. And no one has the right to "lock down" a wiki like that, I removed the comment. For those that weren't editing this article before, the comment was "WHEN EDITING THIS PAGE, ALL THE INFORMATION THAT IS ON THIS PAGE IS REQUIRED FOR THE USER TO UNDERSTAND IT. PLEASE AVOID REMOVING INFORMATION, UNLESS IT IS PATENT NONSENSE! THANKS, USER:KILO-LIMA"

Why not just take the plot summary from To Kill a Mockingbird and repost it here? Racial injustices in the 1930s Deep South through the eyes of a young girl based on the author and her family's experiences, featuring a heroic lawyer and a lynch mob - I can't believe Taylor wasn't sued.--MartinUK (talk) 23:19, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup Tag Proposal

This article has come a long way, and even if it's not the best it could possibly be, I believe it meets Wikipedia's quality standards. I propose that the tag be removed, but wish to get consensus first. Please state your opinion below. Arknascar44 ^{¡Hablar Conmigo!} 14:39, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Very well, I will remove it and assume "Silence equals Consent". Arknascar44 ^{¡Hablar Conmigo!} 19:00, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No Cassie?

I noticed that Cassie wasn't listed as one of the main characters. Is that a mistake someone made? I can't fix it myself since I haven't read the book in awhile, but would someone else be able to? Dreamfar 15:27, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done (see here) Looks like it was just a messed up header. Cheers, Arky ^¡Hablar! 17:44, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

read

goood summary but i would be nice if you could tell me who the protagonist and the antagonist are in the book roll of thunder hear my cry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.205.253.119 (talk) 17:21, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup

This article needs some serious cleanup. For example, I noticed a paragraph in the plot summary that used two different names for the main character's father ("David Logan" and "Papa"). The character paragraphs could look considerably nicer and be more informative. Thesithwithashotgunshell (talk) 00:46, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dates?

The first line is wrong...this novel is obviously not from 2008 if it won prizes in 1977...

--Heero Kirashami (talk) 17:13, 8 November 2008 (UTC) This is an awesome book i finished it in class in 2 weeks with out stopping and it does have mild segregation —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.123.173.223 (talk) 23:05, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely horrendous.

This article, in it's current state, is one of the worst I've ever read on Wikipedia. It sounds like a fifth grader's book report. If I have the time, I'll try to work on making it better, but meanwhile, may I ask someone else to try? Amazeedayzee (talk) 03:55, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely agree. I am still a novice with Wikipedia, but i will help when I can. Louanna007 (talk) 23:15, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

the charachters part is getting better but still needs work

article was vandalised

Profanity was added to this article, cleverly stuck in the middle, and I found it when working with my daughter. I would like that person tracked down if possible and blocked but needless to say the acts of one sick person require that this article be monitored. I do not know the plot of the book so all I could do was delete the two sentences I found. There could be more. Regardless, the article needs to be rewritten and I will try to come back when things slow down and see what is happening. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrperkins (talk • contribs) 03:10, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What this book teaches you!

Hey this book is great it teaches you about the injustice that was happining in this time. It shows you what it was like from the other side. the side that was getting beaten up on. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.35.132.24 (talk) 04:46, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Clean- up

The page needs some clean up. The plot is much too long and needs to be trimmed, and with such a long plot section it might not even be necessary to list the characters separately. Better would be to integrate them in the plot. Then, see if any reliable sources can be found that discusses the book: what are the themes? what's the genre? Things like that are useful. I've watched the page and am available to give guidance. I'll see if I find any comparable novel articles and link to here. Truthkeeper88 (talk) 14:31, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
