Well, I'm still pretty smitten with that cat. The expression on his face and the way his ears are pointing is just priceless!

Anika - I was looking at a gardening catalog the other day and they had these plastic spikes that you set on the ground near your plants to keep cats away. They stay flat against the ground until the cat steps on them - then the spikes go up in the air. Supposedly it doesn't hurt the cat.
- Katy S
Yeah, those spikes don't work. I tried that when we first moved in. I've tried *everything*.

My mother uses paprika in her yard to keep the cats out. You can also sprinkle black pepper, cinnamon or pipe tobacco around the garden area to discourage cats. I've also read that cats don't like orange rinds and coffee grounds. Not sure why though.

Mine started with mochas. I used to drink flavored hot chocolates (couldn't stand coffee).

I'm reading Gone with the Wind finally and while parts of it make me do something much more than cringe, I am also so in love with this book in ways that I did not expect. It makes me feel a bit guilty in ways that I can't articulate. In fact, I can't explain much about this novel but I'd love to deconstruct it. Just as soon as I finish swooning.
joey, I really have to warn you about the film. Don't get too excited about it. I know everyone loves it and it's a classic, but I also loved the book, and when I finished watching the movie I was so angry at the film and everyone who loves it. There are so many things wrong with the film I can't even describe. Maybe you won't have as extreme a reaction as I did, but I do think you will...

cecily, it's really hard to articulate. There are two parts. One is the issue of race.

We have income disparities, education disparities, police issues, and other institutional factors and I'm not trying to in any way dismiss those…but...

So I don't try to pull the wool over my eyes or hide from unpleasantness or horror, but in some ways the cavalier attitude and language that is thrown about in this novel is more shocking to me than some of the more brutal things I've read. It's just so…flippant.
- joey
Amber, you mean things are still like that or particular places are? I'm sure I'm not articulating this well and I'm not trying to say that I think racism is not alive and well, just that I've never read about it from the perspective of white people within a narrative context that is also pleasing. I'm used to avoiding or condemning that kind of attitude from people, not wanting to know more about them.

Cecily, I definitely agree about keeping a historical record...I'm just not used to reading things like this and caring for such flawed characters this deeply, which I suppose is a testament to the writing and their development.

I started to read Gone With The Wind more than a decade ago and couldn't get through it. On a related note, though, I listened to The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn on tape and loved it. I thought it was hilarious. I was able to tune out the "n" words. There was something different about the way it was used back then from the way it's used in the 20th century and today. It wasn't meant in violence and as an insult as often back then. It was just something people said.

I've never read it, but I've read a lot of other fiction that invokes these issues. I do cringe when I read it, but I am able to distance myself from it and place it within its time and place.

Joey, I think you will appreciate a couple of scenes in the book that happen later after the Reconstruction begins. They define some things that are often glossed over.

Thanks for the comments, everyone. Kamilah, I remember reading that book too and it being much easier to gloss over and put it in it's place in time.

Also, I'll be sure not to expect the film to mirror the book so that I'm not disappointed!

There is a very important role to be played by vice and villainy in literature and the arts. My concern is that we may remove some of the guts, necessary to healthy purgation and catharsis, by making all characters milquetoast and agreeable. I understand that, during the Middle Ages when the Passion Plays were presented, starring characters with names like 'Hope,' 'Faith' and such, the most popular character was 'Vice'... some embodiment of the 7 Deadly Sins. The crowd would go wild...
- T. Brent, technopeasant
...they were seeing a side of themselves that they, more often than not, did not want to admit they had. But to see it played out vicariously on stage, had a purgative effect... I believe. Shakespeare continued this tradition with his villains, whom I love for the most part. This is NOT to celebrate the behaviour, but to have it purged through art. I embrace some behaviours in characters that I would abhor in real life.
- T. Brent, technopeasant
That being said, I believe that there are responsible and irresponsible ways to render Vice in art.
- T. Brent, technopeasant
Brent, the difference between that and Gone With the Wind (and similar literature) is that in Shakespeare and morality plays, it's clear that the Vice characters are bad. We may love to see them, but both we and the original authors know that they are NOT people to emulate in real life. With literature like GWTW, the racist viewpoints represented are not depicted as wrong or bad -...
more...
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Jandy, I was using extreme examples to make a point. The same would apply, too, to characters who have 'dark sides' but are not outright villains. Wrestling with these questions is important. But I am very wary when it comes to the on-going attempts (it seems) to make art bland.
- T. Brent, technopeasant
if you read my last comment: "responsible and irresponsible ways to render Vice in art", you'll see that we agree.
- T. Brent, technopeasant
Jandy, I would agree with you, in part, that some villains are more clearly drawn than others, but I wouldn't include blindness as the single qualifier for villainy. I think Brent has a point. Take Macbeth, he seems clearly a villain but not on the order of Iago in Othello. Why? Because Macbeth feels fear over the evil that he has done. Iago does not: he gloats in it.
- Melanie Reed
I would qualify my statement better with parts of GWTW but I would ruin it for Joey. :)

Joey, I really appreciate your honesty & candor about how the racism in the book affects you. I grew up in Florida, and now live out in Liberalstan (currently Bay Area, CA).

In this case, I don't feel that I can simply dismiss those flaws as 'a product of the times' even though they are (because...

Joey, what do you think about Scarlett?

Melanie, I think she's fascinating, but at this point in the book (and I'm still at the beginning of the story and know that a lot changes) I find her to be very smart, intuitive, manipulative, over-dramatic, selfish, and immature. And I pretty much love her.
- joey
Melanie, I can't wait to finish the book and watch the movie so that we can really get to talking about this and you can bring up those later parts of the story ;)

Joey, super-OT but: my all-time greatest hit in Northern California was a former DHL employee who said he quit his job because "the blacks" were "so lazy," but he suspected their "shitty attitude" was because they hated working for a German-owned company because of the Holocaust. "But that's crap, they're always playing the race card." I thought that bus would never come! :)
- LAST DAY OF WORK
Melanie, no, I agree on the level of the characters themselves. But Shakespeare doesn't gloss over the things Macbeth did; they're clearly wrong. In racist literature, the problem is that the authors often don't have enough distance from it to realize it themselves. The sort of blindness I meant was on the authors' part, not the characters. I don't know enough about Margaret Mitchell...

Crystalina, I'm finding myself really absorbed by it...but I think I had to be in the right frame of mind to finally pick it up (and I didn't really know what to expect...I got it because I was reminded by Cecily that it's a classic film I've never seen and I have a thing about reading a book first) and I thought maybe I'd read it while I languished in our heat wave but I wasn't really ready until now. My copy is 1448 pages. If you're not interested, I don't see any reason to force yourself to read it.
- joey
Good point, Brent. Just saying that considering an author to be innately racist/misogynist/anti-semitic is different than their characters being villains. A villain is an intentional narrative device; if you didn't mean the term in that way, then I misread you initially.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Jandy, I agree that Shakespeare did not gloss over...although I am familiar with the basis for Brent's last post: some people do think it and for those that do I often find they have not read deeply enough. Mitchell was a reporter for a time and a bit of a revolutionist in her thinking. As a book is read the reader has to take into consideration the environment, the time period, the...

I read GWTW when I was a teenager, and it was, and still is, one of my favorite books. I always found the Civil War fascinating, tragic, and so many other feelings. Sometimes we have to read stories that are hard to take, to understand our history, and where we are in present time. Joey if you're enjoying it now, then I predict you will enjoy the whole book.

Okay, I finished it. I don't even know what to say. I don't know if I can even handle watching the film right now.

Melanie, I don't even know. I loved it and it is problematic in the ways I expected it to be and I can't stop thinking about it. Especially the ending. Oh, torment. I've been in a daze all day. I care desperately for these characters as if they were real and I don't know why. Hah.
- joey
@Jandy: but that does address my point. Authors (and filmmakers, etc) can be accused of being racist/misogynistic,etc. because one or more of their characters are... as I've paraphrased elsewhere, Flanner O'Connor feels its important to let the "devil" be in the art, or else the devil will be in the "artist"... (and i agree). my point is that not all authors, et al are racist simply because a character is. In fact, in many cases, I suspect the opposite is true.
- T. Brent, technopeasant
:) That is the mark of an excellent writer: to get you to embrace the human condition as it is not as we would like it to be....and yet to let the characters shine in their moments, even if they be few and flawed. And all of these characters with the exception of the few clear villains (and there are some here) do get their moments. The secret to this novel is what Grandma Fontaine...
