Literary Week :)

I think I read three (actually it might have been more like four or five), but I can't tell you how I managed to finish them! :P

But Jesus wasn't wimpy, lame, annoying, and completely incompetent in life.

Please thank the Homeschooled Ninja Association for their support. XD

And he didn't cry all the time. (Unlike me)

Emmy

Or unlike Elsie. Oh, and he wasn't tremulous. Augghh, that word's used about 100 times in each of the Elsie books :P

And he didn't cry all the time. (Unlike me)

And He probably didn't have long blonde curls.

Maybe I'll be Millie Keith from the _Millie Keith Series_. They were written by Martha Finley, but are *so* different from the Elsie books, and *much, much* better. When you read them, it's kind of hard to believe that they were written by the same author.

Yes!

God's Maiden of Virtue

Only read 2 of them. :P And then I was done. XD

I read the first two, as well as two or three when she is an adult…I'm done with those books. facedesk Sooo unrealistic. :

Haha! xP No, we *never* get off topic! XD Do you have an opinion on either/both, since the subject has come up? xD

Well, since it's still being discussed, I like Pride and Prejudice, and I don't like Elsie.

I will refrain from writing an entire essay about them though. ;)

If I have a literary character, it will probably be a guy.

Emmy

Okay :) Don't worry, we wrote the essays for you! xD

Emmy

The Elsie books have plenty of romance, but it's completely and pathetically lame. I mean, Elsie's practically perfect (besides the fact that she's racist, and in the books that's looked upon as acceptable), EXTREMLELY boring, and a total wimp. Her husband doesn't even want her to hold her _own baby_ for fear that she will hurt her fragile self! That's what I call boring, lame, and pathetic.
She's also a legalist.

Mmmhmmm, that too.

Mommy's Helper

REALLY? I didn't read that far; I've only read the first 3 books. My mom says she has the fourth book and will give if to me as soon as I clean my room and keep it clean :)

Emmy

Blech! I've read the first 2 or 3, then read a couple of the later ones. But they're horrible :P

Emmy

Her hair wasn't blonde!!

Umm, I thought it was… Whatever….

Margaret Eddy

Her hair wasn't blonde!!

This is when I confess that I judged the book by its cover…

biblebee

I don't know who to be… facedesk

Okay. :) I've just heard that it is too much about that. I think I'd rather read a book about young women constantly talking about how they're going to serve the Lord, instead of reading that book that is likely to make me think too much about that kind of stuff.

Margaret Eddy

But really, the girl on the cover had blonde curls, and I thought I remembered the book referencing her blonde curls, but maybe I am remembering incorrectly (it has been a very long time since I read the books), or maybe Mongoose has the Abridged Anti-Blonde-Curls addition. (I hate abridged additions, especially ones with an ax to grind. @Mongoose: Was Elsie one of the African American slaves in your addition?)

2 Corinthians 5:17

...and Elsie sucks.

O_O

Yes, Elsie was a very good little girl, but a wonderful example. I have learned many wonderful things from those books.

Mommy's Helper

She had golden-brown curls. The book says.

Margaret Eddy

What's the difference? Isn't golden-brown an oxymoron?

Abigail Rose

Is it allowed to be a lame character from a book that no one here knows about?

Is it allowed to be a lame character from a book that no one here knows about?

Sure. :P
