Correlating racism and homophobia may seem like an extreme, but realistically they are closely related. It is clear that Laramie was afraid of change. Catherine Connolly, the homosexual university professor, in the film she says that she felt forced to hide her sexuality because of the fear of being oppressed. It was well defined that some of the people of Laramie would murder a homosexual out of fear of having one in the community even though Laramie based itself on the “Live and Let Live” saying. The philosophy of “Live and Let Live” was that if you leave me alone, I would leave you alone.

So in that case, the men of Sodom were doing a homosexual act. Also when Lot offers his daughters and the men refuse to take women who are virgins, it implies that the men only wanted to “know” the men in the house. Also since Lot did not give the men the strangers in Lot’s house when they asked him to Lot was not being hospitable. So the next day when God destroys Sodom I interpret it as God saying Lot has sinned for he was not hospitable and that the homosexual acts the men of Sodom were doing was against God’s morals. I also think when Lot’s wife turns and looks back at Sodom when they strictly tell their family not to, is kind of inhospitable.
When Tom said that he felt sorry for Mayella it was wrong in their minds because he is an African American who should not feel bad for a white person whose class is higher. After Tom said this the trial went down hill from there because he said he felt sorry for a white woman, which shows white supremacy in the town. In conclusion, this proves Tom Robinson to be a victim of racial discrimination and white
In the short story it ends right when she gets in the car with Arnold which creates a more eerie and suspicious kind of feel. But with the way the film ends it doesn’t create the same effect as the story. In the film the girls are always going to the “mall” so their parents think. Connie’s mom starts to get suspicious as the film moves on. Many of the differences were throughout the film so they could prolong the story.

There was many similarities between the book and the movie. In the book and movie Johnny and Pony boy kill Bob and they run away to the
This scene shows how being homosexual during the 50's, was a problem to society because it just wasn’t “right” to everyone around them. During this time it made it seem like because you were gay it made you less of a man. It was just a shame how ignorant and uneducated people were and what they thought during those times. The thoughts and reactions towards interracial relationships during those times were stupid and ridiculous. And in someone berating their boyfriend or girlfriend, people have arguments and I feel its best that others keep themselves out of relationships they aren’t involved in.
Pitt’s character also reveals that a society that attempts to repress homosexuality is harmful to both itself and the community of homosexuals. Had Joe been at ease with his sexuality, he would not have married Harper and she would in turn be spared the many years of torture. Perhaps they would have become good allies or even great ones at that. But pressure from society forced them into a torturous life of abjuration (Galens et al., 197). Harper Amaty Pitt starts off as Joe’s valium-addicted, sociopathic wife.
often times, people withdraw them selves to be alone with simply because the society does not accept them for who they are. We often surrender our own sense of identity in order to belong. Homosexuals around the world regularly feel the need to hide behind closed doors then rather be known as ‘Gay’ because simply in the mainstream society it isn’t considered as ‘Normal’. When there is minority in a group such as ‘homosexuality’, we as a society feel the need to alienate them. However, as much as we want to be apart of the population, we also do not want to loose
