I love the use of birds as motifs.
This book does not need some creep owning the copyright. I shudder to think what Disney will do to destroy it in their drive to join up and destroy what’s good in our culture.
What they try to do with the Wizard of Oz is horrible.
The bird motifs are indeed beautiful, as well as how she describes people by describing their homes. It took me a couple of trips through the book to figure that one out. The “play yard of an insane child” will always be one of my favorite parts, which is when Lee describes the Ewell yard.
