Question:

Modern update of Mayella character in Harper Lee book can "find" John Mayer's song "Daughters" in new script?

To Kill A Mockingbird will be "read and discussed" in 20 cities throughout the USA in March-April 07. This idea for an update already written?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: This would create a great musical stage play! The song ??Daughters?? by John Mayer written about the effects Fathers and Mothers can have on their Daughters. The pain or confusion girls experience in their relationships to their Fathers and Mothers can translate into difficulty in their own adult relationships.If girls are hurt or abandoned as children, it makes it harder to relate to others when they grow up

Daughters Lyrics

I know a girl
She puts the color inside of my world
But she's just like a maze
Where all of the walls all continually change
And I've done all I can
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hands
Now I'm starting to see
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me

Fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

Oh, you see that skin?
It's the same she's been standing in
Since the day she saw him walking away
Now she's left
Cleaning up the mess he made

So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

Boys, you can break
You'll find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without the warmth from
A womans good, good heart

On behalf of every man
Looking out for every girl
You are the god and the weight of her world

So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too
