Title:Are Children's Books So Cut and Dried?
My Comment: That was an interesting article that you talked about and I agree with you. I think it's hard to classify what is good and what is evil. I mean, I guess it's ok for children, but I feel that once you become an adult, you learn more about the world and you begin to analyze literature a little bit more closely when you realized that there is really no such thing as an absolute good nor an absolute evil. You can't really go back to what you thought like when you were a child. You can't really assume something and classify something as good or bad because one not see the whole picture. And hey! "Evil people" can be "weak-kneed". It's a sticky situation, but one can question why we have that distiction of good and evil presented to kids in the first place. Yes, it may be for the drive and motivation of the story, but one has to wonder why you have to classify some characters as the absolute hero and the absolute villan.
