INT. CLASSROOM - DAY The TEACHER (60) passes out copies of “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” by Mark Twain to the CHILDREN (ages 9-11) seated in rows of wooden desks. Sa'mara sits among the poor kids, a type of segregation notably apparent. TEACHER (old New York accent) We was very lucky to receive these here copies so I trust you will take good care of them. Sa'mara receives the last copy. Four CHILDREN behind her do not receive theirs. SA'MARA What about them? Isn’t there enough for them? TEACHER They can listen along. If they pay attention, that is. We was lucky enough to get these ones here.
