The Little Mermaid

44Leave it.

Don't promise a wedding; she loses her voice and the prince never chooses her.

The review

I sat down sure I remembered a wedding, and I was remembering the cartoon. In Andersen she trades her voice for legs and a chance at a human soul. The prince does not choose her. The sea-witch takes the voice, and she is not a friend you get to like.

A child can hear it if you stay in the room. I was tired enough to want a softer last page, and there isn't one. The bargain costs her the voice either way. Say that out loud, then leave the later pictures for another night.

The glance

Industry and Household and Republic and Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

Treasure Island

56 instead of 44

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.

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