Why Burn This Bridge? If children aren’t allowed to read stories about negative topics, then are they guaranteed that these things won’t ever happen to them? Children must be taught right from wrong, so that we can make good choices in our own life. Stories and characters help us learn about these things that we sometimes know nothing about.

anything possible to reject it. Also, the people of Flatland believe that women and irregular figures should be treated disrespectfully. However, I felt that Abbott simply wanted the readers to find that to be absurd, but then realize that their reality isn’t a whole lot different than that. In other words, he wanted people to find that Flatland wasn’t a whole lot different that the world in the 1800s. Abbott’s strong feelings towards this women’s rights and minorities’ rights encouraged him to…
