L M MONTGOMERY AND ADULT/CHILD EQUALITY
January 9, 2011X-mas blogging: I unfortunately did not do as much blogging for christmas as i hoped, but i will blog again next year.
Kindred Spirits
I wanted to touch on the subject of Kindred Spirits today and specifically on the person who popularized the term Lucy Maude Montgomery. I have just finished reading Emily of New Moon, one of my favourite books, and i realized that both the author and i have very similar ideas about the value of children. In both Anne of Green Gables and Emily of New Moon a child comes into adults lives and brings more life and love to them.
Children and Adults are Equals
Children are equals to adults. We are not there betters, we are their helpers and guides and they are love bringer’s and life bringer’s. Adults, i believe, can be friends with their children. It may be a different form from other friendships, but it can be a friendship none the less. Because the author has similar ideas to mine on children i feel even more we are kindred spirits.
