answer:I just watched the movie again recently. I taped it so my husband could see it. He hadn’t heard of it, so obviously he didn’t know the story. He was raised outside of the US through 8th grade, then 2 years of high school here, then returned back to his country, so it isn’t odd he never had heard of it. I only had read it and seen the movie previously, because it was taught in a class of mine. I am surprised there might be Americans who have never heard of it, but I don’t think anything negative about them. I never read A Wrinkle In Time, but half my school did. I just a didn’t have the teacher who chose to teach that book. I don’t like to read books much, so I’m not likely to read it on my own, especially when I was younger. I didn’t have the teacher who assigned The Catcher in the Rye, but I wound up reading, because my boyfriend was assigned it. That’s a great book. Much more enjoyable to me than To Kill a Mockingbird, and much more relatable for me when I was a teen. The racist stuff was lost on me as a child. I couldn’t relate to it much at all. I couldn’t wrap my head around being mean to someone based on race, and it seemed like something from history that didn’t apply to my life. Huck Finn was kind of lost on me also, and I didn’t make through the movie Gone With The Wind until my 40’s.
