I think that you're a brilliant writer and your analysis is fantastic.

Keep the ranting coming, and keep writing, its the only way!

Mindless rambling about witches and wizards.
I’m studying children’s literature and hope to one day work in the industry. Harry Potter is my favorite children’s series, as it is for thousands of readers worldwide. But I don’t care that the series is so massively popular. These are the books I grew up with. These are the books I read under the covers by flashlight long after I was supposed to be sleeping.

"Death Watch" by Aimee Bender: An Excerpt
The Greek woman sobs when she hears that her wonderful melancholy lover will be dying soon. They do ritual after ritual. Their sex is like castles; it has moats and turrets. If only, thinks the suicidal man, if only I had known for longer how short it all would be. Everybody says this. They say it for us, the nondying, to remember our daily lives. But we can’t fully get it until...

"So What's New" by Fatima Dike
I’ve been to the funerals of lots of my friends. Funerals always make me cry, but those are the worst. You stand with your friends and cry for your friends. I’ve stood by the graves of kids killed by the police, and by our own people too and I’ve thought, “Hee, will I ever leave this place?” and “Will I be next?” Sometimes I’ve just wanted to lie...
