In English class we will have these daily book talks, and this is when I figuerd out that there is a book out there called.......Wait for it........Pride and Prejudice and Zombies When the Bennet family attends a funeral a zombie rises out of the coffin and then Mr. Bennet decides that it is time to train his 5 daughters in the art of zombie killing. This book is encouraging femonist and it is just plain wrong that somebody has to go out there and turn a very good classic into now and days nonsense, and then our English teacher said that" anyone who thinks that the classics are to boring this might give a little twist to it". And if that is not bad enough we also have Little Woman and Vampireswhen they turn into vampires,and Little Woman and Werewolves When the 4 little woman go out and eat all the townfolks. :really-mad2: and this still has me steaming mad.

What utter trash.

While many classics have become popular, there seems to be very little artistic, literary or moral sense in the audience that accounts for the popularity. Rather it is that costume movies are made with popular actors and actresses. So that could account for the willingness to combine elements of these idiotic vampire, zombie and witchcraft themed books with characters and settings of classic books.

There are certain people who have a compulsion to corrupt. Unfortunately, those people control the media.

There was already feminism in her books and I can't stand the gold digging, but I'm making a quilt for a friend of mine that loves her. Saw this pattern too!

Unbelievably stupid.

A society of "conservatives" who are too cowardly to speak against the Jєωιѕн purveyors of cultural corruption will eventually be ruined.

That's government school for you.

What they teach in those schools is the religion of the Antichrist.

We can all thank Twilight for all the stupidity going on in books like witchcraft, dead things, the supernatural world, and the devil, :devil2: and when it comes to zombies kids think that zombies are the neatest thing, obviously there vocabulary thinks that neat means blood, killing people and dead things rising from the dead,and when I can hardly stand dead things or scary books

Well, there's all that but it's to be expected when something new and shiny comes out - everyone's gotta get in on it so there's this really rapid glut of knockoffs or copycats.

But my complaint is: do they all have to be written as atrociously as the Twilight series?

I am not really familiar with Twilight or any other books/movies of that nature. I do wonder why there is a fascination with such things to begin with. I don't understand why people like to be horrified. There is so much true horror and evil in the world and the last thing anybody needs is to bring fictional horror into their minds and homes.

Even in the natural world, there is enough to be worried about. I don't need vampires when I see the devastating effects of enterotoxemia in lambs. That's enough of a nightmare. I have seen sheep get slaughtered by coyotes and stray dogs, and even watching a video of or reading about such attacks causes my blood pressure to go up. Reading about scrapie and BSE and the prion theory is really frightening when you think about the ramifications of infection, how it occurs, the length of the incubation period- and how much we don't know.

All this is caused by the effects of Original Sin- but there's no "evil" or sin in these cases, like there is in murder. The obsession with evil is disgusting, but I don't think that most kids even have a clue, nor most parents.

Kids don't know what death is. They've never seen viscera and blood. They've not seen suffering. If they have, they'd not make it a pastime to watch and read about fictional situations involving it. Life isn't sacred or even respected.

It is kind of like the Harry Potter series, every kid thinks it is the coolest thing ever. With witch carft and evrything.
