Clueless Aesop: Difference between revisions

** Why did they even need a book about Mama being pregnant? They already had the one in which Sister was born.

** Papa Bear is ''racist''?! Argh!

* The [[Horatio Hornblower]] story "Hornblower and [[Have a Gay Old Time|the Man Who Felt Queer]]". The story features Horatio taking part in a sneak attack on a French ship. One of his crew, who earlier complained of feeling ill, has an epileptic fit. As the man -- unaware of his surroundings -- starts speaking loudly, Horatio strikes the man on the head with the tiller so they won't be found out by the enemy. Although the man's fate is left vague, it's clear that even if he isn't dead, he'll never play the piano again. Later on Horatio notes that the guilt of possibly killing the man is what gave him the courage to complete his task. Uh, what?

** Actually, Horatio makes it very clear that the reason he wanted to complete the task was so that he would not have possibly killed a man for nothing. Which is fair enough.

** On a related note to the Breaking Dawn pregnancy, Twilight is simply not the kind of series that should be having a debate about abortion. Also, the pro-life/pro-choice thing is slightly irrelevant ''when it's clear that the baby is most assuredly killing the mother, and she may or may not survive to give birth'' (in other words, exactly the kind of exception most pro-life advocates are willing to make when it comes to their stance on abortion). The fact that it's a [[Creepy Child|Creepy]] [[Half-Human Hybrid]] with powers of [[Mind Rape]] and [[Horror Hunger|makes Bella thirst for blood during the pregnancy]] only makes things worse- Bella may well be giving birth to the [[Anti Christ]].

* Another religious book- ''I Kissed Dating Goodbye''. The intended message was: "Christians should not forget their spirituality - including, but not limited to, serving others - no matter how much they wish for romance, marriage, and sex". The message that actually came across to most readers was "Do volunteer work as a substitute for a romantic relationship". Needless to say, many readers were disappointed and angered.
