[Born to Conserve]

I saw the movie when I was very young — maybe eight or so. I did not like the troublemakers and just naturally took the side of the locals against the migrants. I refused to read the book when it was assigned in high school. I think I read Last of the Mohicans instead. James Fenimore Cooper — now there is a good guy.

Are you thinking of ‘The Grapes of Wrath’?

Aside from the fact it is a very good book, I think it was a mistake not to read “To Kill A Mockingbird” when it was assigned to in HS because I think you are confusing it with some other movie you watched. It’s sort of like saying, “hey I listened to that Steppenwolf song once, I think it was in some hippy movie about bikers, after that I had no desire to read “Call of the Wild”. : ),
