I watched The Wrestler yesterday. Very good film. Also enjoyed Gran Torino.
Here's a sad story. The young daughter of a poor man and his wife was the delight of their life. She fell ill with scarlett fever and it was touch and go for many days but she recovered.
One day as the girl sat on a stool looking at a book the father told her to shut the front door. A moment later he saw that she had not moved and he told her again in a stern tone.
She ignored him. Angry, he stepped across the room and gave her a smack across the face that sent her sprawling. As she sat up with tears welling in her eyes her father slammed the door so hard it sounded like a rifle shot. That's when he noticed that she hadn't even flinched at the loud noise. He soon realized that she was deaf, a common complication of Scarlett Fever in those days.
This was heartbreaking enough for him, but within a few days, before he even had time to mend the hurt with her, he had to run away from his family in the night to avoid a lynching for something he had not done. He lived to be an old man but never saw his family again. He often wept over the little girl he had loved so much.
( Based on the slave character, Jim, in the novel, Huckleberry Finn)
