A Correction, a Link, and a Mole and a Rat
July 26, 2008It seems that perhaps I should have read the two remaining pages in Chapter 4 before making my bold Planet of the Apes parallels. No sooner do I type my previous post than Badger explains away his description of the former city with a much more Lion King-ish “Circle of Life” sort of cities come and cities go, but Badgers remain constant line of reasoning. Lame, Badger, pretty lame.
How many times do I have to remind myself that I need to read something through before putting my thoughts into writing. I had a flashback to college when I started drafting what would have surely been a pivotal piece of Jane Eyre scholarship: “Home is Where the Heart Is: Representations of Love and Domestic Happiness in Thornfield Hall” after reading only part of the book. Well, Mr. Badger, this time you can consider this lesson learned.
It dawned on me Twin Brother, that people who read this blog (if indeed there are people who actually read this blog) may tire of us complaining about this classic of children’s literature, but who may potentially be interested in actual insight into the topic might enjoy Jill Lepore’s recent New Yorker article on the publication of Stuart Little and the evolution of children’s literature.
Well, that’s that for now. Talk to you again soon.
