Character+Connection+2+Alex

There is a text to text connection between a Vietnamese short movie **//Ashamed is an adjective//** with the book. The movie is about an innocent girl who has no choice but becoming a whore. When she grows up, she realizes that being a whore is ashamed and disgraceful, she gets rid of that job and try to become a normal girl. But the prejudice of society and her past do not allow her to have happiness. Even though she did not do anything wrong, the society do not accept her and she died after all. Whore-girls live in their own world and suffer their own shame and pain that no one can understand. The similarity between the black people from the book and whores is that people think about them as the most disgusting people. People are against them, they believe that everything Negroes do is all wrong, they have neither rights nor worth being respected, which is unfair.

The character that I choose is Mr. Ewell who is on behalf of white people against Atticus, Tom Robinson and the black. At the court, Mr. Ewell "pointed his finger at Tom Robinson. " - I seen that black Nigger yonder rutting' on my Mayella!" (Lee, 196). Mr. Ewell's word and action express his disregard towards Tom: pointed the finger to Tom, call him "black Nigger" instead of his name. We also find the similar scene in the movie, when a man pointed his finger to the girl's face and call her "whore", "bitch". The discrimination of society to whores is the same with that from white to black people, both prevent people from having a peaceful and fair life.

(There are some scenes in the movie that is not suitable for children. If you find them annoying, please close your eyes when those scenes come. The value of this movie is not made of those scene but of its meaningful message that the producer want to send to the whole society).
