The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

41Leave it.

The town tells a ghost story, and I will not swear the ghost was real.

The review

Ichabod Crane wants a farm and a daughter. Brom Bones wants the same girl. A chase at night ends Ichabod's time in the valley. Washington Irving, and a house can read it. Children remember the ride. I remember what he was chasing before anything rode after him.

The ghost is the story the town tells. I will not insist the horseman was real, and I will not decide he was a neighbor in a costume either. The tale withholds that. A schoolmaster after a farm is not yet a husband. The daughter comes with the land he wants. Let that wanting stay plain. The night does not make it noble.

The glance

Household and Piety and Courage and Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Treasure Island

56 instead of 41

Treasure Island is still a story film, and it scores 56 instead of 41. What you gain is courage: Jim does the dangerous thing when the adults are past doing it.

The eight

5
Industry
Ichabod is a schoolmaster, and he also wants the farm.
4
Household
He wants a daughter and a farm; a marriage is the prize, not a life yet.
3
Piety
The valley tells a ghost story; conscience does not stop the chase.
3
Courage
A night chase ends his time there; fright is not a risk he chose.
5
Republic
The ghost is a story the town tells, which is not the same as a fact.
3
Temperance
He wants the farm and the girl together, and that want drives him.
6
Truth
The book will not certify the horseman; the town story is all you get.
4
Stewardship
Ichabod leaves the valley; the town keeps its tale and the girl.

The Hunchback of Notre-Dame

44Leave it.

The cathedral's still standing, and the archdeacon's want is what actually ruins her.

The review

The cathedral is the thing that lasts. Quasimodo rings the bells, the city calls him a monster, and Esmeralda is desired and then condemned. I kept waiting for the building to make the men inside it better. It doesn't. The archdeacon's want runs the ruin, and Hugo is not shy about a churchman being the engine.

A teen can read it if you stay for the talk after. Don't describe the punishment, and don't let the bells turn into a romance. The stone outlasts the people who used it. That's the part I'd actually say at dinner: a beautiful public place can watch a woman be condemned and still be standing when the men are gone.
