O Caso dos Dez Negrinhos, a 1963 episode of the Brazilian anthology series Grande Teatro Tupi [ pt]

I have too much self-respect to stare at him like he’s a new book that I am going to read under the covers when my mother thinks I’ve gone to sleep andIvy! If you don’t come on you’re going to miss your plane!” My mother hollered from downstairs, causing me to sigh. You brace your hands on the rough-grained wood frame of the old turret window. Holding the frame allows your body to absorb the battering the window takes from the rain and the howling wind outside. The shaking feels good and clean and impersonal, as if you were one with the elements, and not a human being at all. It's going to be okay, Ivy." My mother said as she drove towards the airport, “I spoke to your father and he is going to meet you as soon as you get off the plane." I turn my face upward to the sky which is opalescent (great word—you can almost taste it when you say it). Speaking of taste, the raindrops on my lips are earthy, not in a bad way.

Heading down stairs, my eyes landed upon my mother, who stood by the doorway smiling at me. I knew that there was a lot I could say to help change my mind about going, but this was important to her. The plot is structured around the ten lines of the rhyme "Ten Little Niggers", [3] an 1869 minstrel song by the British songwriter Frank Green. [9] In later editions, the characters are replaced by "Ten Little Indians" or "Ten Little Soldiers". (Confusingly, the American songwriter Septimus Winner had published his own, quite different, minstrel song in 1868, called " Ten Little Indians [or Injuns]"). [10] [11] Tense, vivid, lively, and heart-twisting--I could not catch my breath. What a very great pleasure this was to read." Gave perjured evidence in court resulting in an innocent man being convicted and sentenced to life in prison, where he died a year laterAntoine, whose jeans (speaking of style) are artfully split so as to expose his sports-playing knees. (Don’t ask me which sports he plays. Sports are not my thing, even if sports-playing boys are—and there I am again with the shallow. Sorry.)

There was no point in arguing with her. She was right to an extent. I do need to stop fighting myself on going to see my father. Spending time with him wouldn’t be a bad thing. At least then I could have a reason to hate him if he messed up. My father was mysterious. He came from nothing, and ended up one of the wealthiest people in the country, owning big corporations on the west coast of the states that not many knew how he obtained. It’s the nonstop action that sweeps readers along. People are on the run, bodies are piling up, and murder is in the air. Up until the last moment, it’s not clear who is going to make it out alive. Over the top, definitely, but also a compulsive read." -Ilene Cooper, BooklistA Portuguese-language version for Brazilian television, broadcast 16 February 1957, titled O Caso dos Dez Negrinhos
