    Shhhh you helped.

    You bounce ideas off me and I added logic to a fantasy-type story. I didn't help much with it. In any of the three "active" versions, actually.

    Don't say that. You've helped a lot.

    Today's Daily Literature Quote is…

    Quote Originally Posted by The Magic Tree House by Mary Pope Osborne

    Absolutely still.”
    YES!! FINALLY! This is undoubtedly my favorite quote on the list. See, I grew up reading the Magic Tree House versus like Harry Potter or anything and this is by far my favorite children's book series (I've got all the books through number thirty-six I believe and I plan to start collecting again soon).

    There's nothing really truly significant or philosophical about this quote. It's more of a nostalgia quote for me. I think it's significant for me though because every time I read these lines, I get sentimental and I feel a rush of adrenaline. I feel my childhood come rushing back and I just can't wait to see what adventures Jack and Annie will go on today!

    Oh my Lord, I love the Magic Tree House. Arthurian fantasy was my childhood; Morgan le Fay was like my witch godmother, she inspired a lot of my early female spellcaster character designs. Reading about them traveling to different points in time was so insightful and I learnt lots of nuggets of the world through the books.

    Yeah I'm not sure how wide spread the series actually is but if you asked most of the kids in my area they'd know the series so I think it's a very American thing.

    The premise of the story is, one day these two kids, Jack and Annie, find a treehouse in the woods and whenever they point to a book and say "I want to go there" the treehouse transports them to the setting of the book. So like, the first book they go to the era of the dinosaurs and in another one they visit Pompeii. It's somewhat informational as well because you learn about that time and stuff in it.

    Oh, nice! That sounds like every kid's dream. XD I can appreciate it being educational, too. That's pretty cool. :3

    Today's Daily Literature Quote is…
    Quote Originally Posted by To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
    "Remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.” That was the only time I ever heard Atticus say it was a sin to do something, and I asked Miss Maudie about it.
    “Your father’s right,” she said. “Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy . . . but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.”
    Today is Harper Lee's birthday so the RNG was overridden to provide us with my favorite quote from her most famous book. This quote is extremely significant to the story as a whole because not only is it a reference to the title, but it ties into the plot as a whole. It teaches that you shouldn't persecute the innocent, for they have done nothing wrong, much like Tom Robinson or Boo Radley. Both can be seen as mockingbirds that were shot even though they never deserved what they received. In fact, Tom Robinson is even killed despite his innocence being proven because of the color of his skin. As a result, this quote goes to show that the jury that convicted him sinned because they killed a mockingbird.
