Zach is wrong to lead Lily on. He knows they can never be together.

  1. This is false because Zach loves Lily. He strives for equality and to get Lily to see his view on life and that colour barriers don't matter.

  2. I think that Zach should follow his heart and tell Lily the truth about his love for her.

  4. i disagree, legally they are not allowed, but ethically people are allowed to be with whoever they want. to society a black and a white womans merrage is wrong, but if its consentual it is fine.

  5. I agree with Thomas Williamson, "Zach loves Lily... and color barriers don't matter." He knows that they cannot be together at the moment, but his life goal is going to be to become a big hot shot lawyer so it's ok for him to marry a white woman. So actually, he isn't leading Lily on, he does love her, and is going to come back for her at a time when their love can actually be a reality.

  6. I think Zach and lilly should be together because there in love and shouldnt be seperated by anyone. If they love each other they should stay together

  7. Detrill said, "That's wrong... Zach and Lily like each other... so thats wrong."
    I disagree with him. In modern days I would agree but in that time it was hard. Zach understand that is an impossible love. In that time ,as we can see in the movie,they (black people) were very discriminated: they could not be in the same buses for example. So in the book even if Zach loves Lilly, he understand that in the society that they live they will never be together.

  8. I agree, it is definitely wrong for Zach to lead Lily on. They will never be able to be together there for all it is creating in the realtionship is stress. While I think it is sad that two people who love each other can't even sit through a movie together because one is black, I don't think the right thing to do is fight against an undestructable wall, at the time being segregation.

  9. i agree that lilly and zach should be together. and zach isnt leading lilly on. they are just in love. in those times it was looked bad apon to have a black person date a white person they should still be together because they are in love. too bad their love must be killed by the rules of society.

  10. I agree with Dwight K. Schrute Zach is persuing a dream that everyone will have equal opportunities. Even though they can't be together at the moment he has high hopes for the future.

  12. I agree with Thomas Williamson as well. Throughout the story Zach talks about equal rights for everyone and how he wants to change the way blacks are treated. Since he believes this there's no way that he thinks he's leading Lily on. One day he knows they will be together because he's personally going to change the world to allow it.

  13. Yellow Sun: I agree with Thomas Willamson. I truly believe that Zach love Lily and that lily loves Zack. Zach is not leading Lily on, he really likes her and wants to become a big lawyer and make a lot of money and he tells Lily that he will come back for her once he makes it in the "big time." Zach even gives Lily his dog tag to show his commitment to her and so she will not forget about him.

  14. Detril is very wrong when he says, "Thats wrong...Zach and Lily like eachother...so thats wrong." First of all that means absoluetly nothing. Zach is not leading Lily on, they both know that right now they cannot be together, but later in life when the Civil Rights Movements become more popular and laws start changing they can be together. They also can't be together, because they are both fairly young. Zach and Lily can be together later in life without getting married and it would not be illegal. Ethically if they want to be together, they can be. Zach and Lily have both confessed that they love each other and they HAVE KISSED! There in love.

    I agree that Zach and Lily should be together and not be seperated by anyone.
    During the years of segragation, whites and blacks did not associate with eachother or lived life together as an intergrated race. When Lily stays with August, Lily comes to learn that the only difference between these people is the color of their skin. Zach cares for Lily, and same goes for her. A part in the book really shows the relationship of Zach and Lily. It is when Zach places his dog tag on lily. It symbolizes the commitment between the two. He never wants for her to forget about him. He said "...after I've gone away and become somebody, I'm gunna find you, and we will be together then." If they really feel this way about eachother, there is no reason for them not to be together because Zach believes it is possible.

  16. I agree with...lady baba... Yes back then blacks were very discriminated against. They were literally seperated everywhere and in everything. But that doesnt make it wrong to like someone. Zach tells lily that some people would beat him just for talking to her. That shows a pretty strong connection betweent them if that is true. He is willing to risk his safty to talk to her. If they really did like each other they could find a way to make it work.

    Becuse its so obviously that Zach and Lily love each other, no matter what.
    Zach need to tell her the truth, about his love for her.
