Re: great essay

Hi I'm Leah.

Oh yes Ms. L'engle and Tolkien are much more humane and wholesome in their work. And Madeleine L'engle writes characters and relationships, not just plots. That's something different, I think.

Personally, I think some of the Harry Potter books are so nihilistic the best comparison for them would be something like Beckett. Except that Beckett put jokes in to leaven the darkness, and kept the pace snappy to make it entertaining.
