TEXTO 1

To kill a mockingbird$\ ^{1}$ (1962) is a much-loved, critically-acclaimed, classic trial film. It exhibits an exceptional achievement in acting, a portrayal of childhood innocence (told from Scout Finch’s matured adult understanding), and a progressive, enlightened 1960s message about racial prejudice, violence, moral tolerance and dignified courage.

The screenplay was faithfully adapted by screenwriter Horton Foote from Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning autobiographical novel (1), an account of her small-town Southern life in Monroeville, Alabama, of its setting of racial unrest and of her father and also attorney Amasa Lee. The poor Southern town of deteriorating homes was authentically re-created on a Universal Studios’ set. Released in the early 1960s, the timely film reflected the state of deep racial conflicts and social injustice that existed in the South.

The film begins by portraying the innocence and world of play of a tomboyish six year-old girl named Scout (Mary Badham) and her ten year-old brother Jem (Phillip Alford). Set in a small town in the 1930s, the story focuses on their widower father, scrupulously honest and highly respected lawyer Atticus Finch, magnificently embodied by the actor Gregory Peck. The children also fantasize about a boogeyman - the reclusive "village idiot" - who inhabits a mysterious house in their neighborhood. They are abruptly brought out of their insulated and carefree world by their father’s unpopular but courageous defense of a black man named Tom Robinson (Brock Peters), falsely accused of attacking a Southern white woman. Although racism dooms the accused man, a prejudiced adult vengefully attacks the children on a dark night. They are unexpectedly delivered from real harm in the film’s climax by the recluse "Boo" Radley (Robert Duvall in his film debut).

To kill a mockingbird won Academy Awards for Best Actor (Peck), Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Art Direction.

$\ ^{1}$mockingbird – tordo, um tipo de pássaro

O texto a seguir é um trecho do livro To kill a mockingbird, de Harper Lee. Nele, a narradora apresenta o personagem Atticus Finch por meio de suas características pessoais e comportamento peculiar. Ela também relata um episódio em que a frase que dá origem ao título do livro é dita por Atticus.

TEXTO 2

Atticus was feeble: he was nearly fifty. When Jem and I asked him why he was so old, he said he got started late, which we felt reflected upon his abilities and manliness. He was much older than the parents of our school contemporaries, and there was nothing Jem or I could say about him when our classmates said, "My father-"

Jem was football crazy. Atticus was never too tired to play keepaway, but when Jem wanted to tackle him Atticus would say, "I’m too old for that, son."

Our father didn’t do anything (1). He worked in an office, not in a drugstore. Atticus did not drive a dump-truck for the county, he was not the sheriff, he did not farm, work in a garage, or do anything that could possibly arouse the admiration of anyone.

Besides that, he wore glasses. He was nearly blind in his left eye, and said left eyes were the tribal curse of the Finches. Whenever he wanted to see something well, he turned his head and looked from his right eye.

He did not do the things our schoolmates’ fathers did: he never went hunting, he did not play poker or fish or drink or smoke. He sat in the livingroom and read.

With these attributes, however, he would not remain as inconspicuous as we wished him to: that year, the school buzzed with talk about him defending Tom Robinson, none of which was complimentary. After my bout with Cecil Jacobs when I committed myself to a policy of cowardice, word got around that Scout Finch wouldn’t fight any more, her daddy wouldn’t let her. This was not entirely correct: I wouldn’t fight publicly for Atticus, but the family was private ground. I would fight anyone from a third cousin upwards tooth and nail. Francis Hancock, for example, knew that.

When he gave us our air-rifles Atticus wouldn’t teach us to shoot. Uncle Jack instructed us in the rudiments thereof; he said Atticus wasn’t interested in guns. Atticus said to Jem one day, "I’d rather you shot at tin cans in the back yard, but I know you’ll go after birds. Shoot all the bluejays$\ ^{1}$ you want, if you can hit ’em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird."

That was the only time I ever heard Atticus say it was a sin to do something, and I asked Miss Maudie about it.

"Your father’s right," (2) she said. "Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corncribs$\ ^{2}$, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird."
