Although, Polly had flatly refused to enter another world pool, they continue their journey to another world pool right after they got home. As the omniscient voiced out, Digory is the type of person who wants to know everything.

    Didion sets the tone by connecting morality to the “air” of her uncomfortable environment. Didion’s position on morality is that “we have no way of knowing” about morality, about what is good, right, and correct and she challenges our own consciousness as well. While Didion claims that there are no universal standards of what is right or wrong are correct, I disagree when she says, “How many madmen have said it and meant it” and includes Jesus Christ in her examples of madmen. These statements are one-sided because, which is a major weakness to her argument. Didion informs the general public audience that she is in a very uncomfortable stage.…

This data leads me to question, do you see this as a problem and how have current day shows worked to change these family-based situations?…
