00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
This is MJ back for another chapter by chapter reaction to Jan Berry's Peter Pan.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:12,000
I'm talking about chapter 3, Come Away, Come Away, and it's a cool chapter.

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,000
There's a lot of interesting world building in Lord Fur.

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,000
Right now I'm going to talk about Tinkerbells.

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,000
So Tinkerbell is a fairy, of course.

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Fairies were born from the first last first baby,

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,000
breaking them into a thousand pieces and then I guess they propagated from there.

8
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,000
Because there's supposed to be one fairy for every child.

9
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:37,000
But because children are so sophisticated nowadays, fairies no longer partner with children, I guess.

10
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,000
And more so, or even worse, is that anytime a kid says, I don't believe in fairies,

11
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,000
a fairy falls down and dies.

12
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:49,000
And also fairies are supposed to be like gender bound to their kids.

13
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,000
So Tink says that she's Peter's fairy.

14
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,000
He says he can't be because she's a lady and he's a gentleman.

15
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,000
And I think that's just really cool. It's a really neat detail.

16
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,000
It's a lot of fun.

17
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:07,000
I don't think Tinkerbell wants to be Peter's fairy because she wants to help him with things though.

18
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,000
It seems like she has a different interest, especially because this is where we get the famous

19
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:17,000
thimble kiss thing. Thimble kiss exchange, I should say.

20
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,000
And I mean that on a couple levels.

21
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:26,000
And it's really interesting that it definitely seems like Tinkerbell is kind of in love with Peter,

22
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:34,000
even though she has a, let's say, a womanly figure, which it would think means that she's much older than him

23
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:40,000
and needs to be with a guy who is, you know, post-purity or whatever.

24
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:46,000
I can't quite tell what age she's supposed to be, but he does have all his baby teeth still.

25
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,000
And that's something that's mentioned. He's got these shiny, light little pearls.

26
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,000
And it's very interesting because Barry points that out.

27
00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:00,000
I'm not 100% sure why. I don't know why he's quite so focused on his little pearl teeth,

28
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:05,000
his little baby teeth that he's still got. To me that hints that he should be pretty young.

29
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:14,000
I've got a 10-year-old who's about to lose a baby tooth and have an adult molar come in, so maybe he's 10.

30
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:21,000
But I was under the impression that Wendy was closer to 12, like 11, and I think Peter and Wendy are supposed to be the same age.

31
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:31,000
Also, I don't know, there's a lot of interesting stuff going on, like Peter forgets that Wendy was the one who helped him

32
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:37,000
sew his shadow on, or she did the work, and he celebrates it as if he did the very thing.

33
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,000
And he just has a nature where he's cocky and he gloats and he's very proud of himself.

34
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:50,000
But also, he has this nature that we'll see develop or highlight a little bit more later, where he forgets.

35
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:57,000
And it's like he's always forgetting. And there's something a little sad and strange to me about that.

36
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:03,000
And it's very possible that at one point he did love Tinkerbell and he told her that he loved her,

37
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:10,000
and seems that they would be best friends forever, whatever that means in that context to children.

38
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:17,000
And then he promptly forgot it, and she's holding onto that, because every fairy shall forget in the same way the boy does.

39
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,000
Especially a boy like him who doesn't age and has all those adventures.

40
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,000
So I don't know, it's a really interesting...

41
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,000
A lot of interesting stuff going on, like I don't really get the kiss thing. I mean, I do get it and I don't get it,

42
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,000
because I haven't been a kid myself.

43
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,000
But it also seems strange, but I also don't think it was like...

44
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:41,000
I don't think it was a romantic kiss physiologically, but it definitely was a big deal to them.

45
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:46,000
And it's not something that's, you know, advisable.

46
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,000
It's definitely something that should be avoided at such a tender age.

47
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,000
But it certainly doesn't happen, I know. I know.

48
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,000
For a fact it does, but it doesn't happen.

49
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:00,000
But it's definitely more of an innocent side than a non-innocent side.

50
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:07,000
It's a pretty court-to-age where you physically face it more as something not the kind ofness that...

51
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:13,000
Wendy likes the lights and has a reaction from hitting the symbol back from Peter,

52
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,000
because she showed him what that was.

53
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,000
And here's the thing, the way that it's really still called really...

54
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,000
I feel like that's the editing or phrase, rather,

55
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:26,000
that I can't tell if she was screaming because Peterbred pulled her hair

56
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,000
or because of hitting the symbol from Peter.

57
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:36,000
So I was thinking about picking her up to prevent it from happening or not.

58
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,000
But essentially his speaker doesn't really seem to react to it.

59
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,000
And I don't know what that means, Peter.

60
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,000
Is that not... Is it maybe a symbol of not a new experience for him?

61
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,000
Or is he still at an age where it doesn't really matter,

62
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,000
he's not really someone to check him and...

63
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,000
I think the professor says, maybe today or what, but it's not. It's too soon.

64
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,000
And I don't quite understand what there is to me that I could...

65
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,000
I mean, I love the book, but the thing was, the reason I'm like, oh, god, this is the best...

66
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,000
The first two fiction, I am reading books, I'm reading some of them,

67
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,000
I've never read before, and others I'm reading that I said, excuse me for a second.

68
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:18,000
And I'm assessing them under the...

69
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:23,000
Not the quick one, the group, the standard of fiction fiction.

70
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Is this something that's good for children? Is it a good book?

71
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:32,000
Is it good for children so it makes them better people?

72
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,000
Better, stronger, stronger, more loving people?

73
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:41,000
Will they be people who help build up the world or will they be people who destroy the world around them?

74
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,000
And you might think, well, okay, here's the good news about it.

75
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,000
It could also affect the destructive or the mysterious.

76
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,000
I don't know, maybe it can be, maybe it can't.

77
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,000
But also the way it's framed here, I don't think...

78
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,000
I think it was a fact and maybe it's right to have the book.

79
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:03,000
I don't know if he actually got to kiss her back or if he picked it or not.

80
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:09,000
And I think it's interesting that Barry did that, and I wonder why he did that.

81
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:16,000
He seems to be okay with shielding less than you might think and being more...

82
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,000
You mean rust or being more...

83
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:24,000
He's a little more dangerous than you might like or than one might like.

84
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:29,000
But he plays with the danger in a really skillful way, I think.

85
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,000
And I think it's reason that he's here too.

86
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:36,000
I think it's something that gets him kind of lost over or not really noticed in the sense that he's talked to.

87
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:42,000
I'm not saying that it's part of the party's structure because I need to finish this before I can make that decision.

88
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:47,000
But it's kind of teetered, kind of wobbled, it's kind of immediately in the text.

89
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,000
So I don't feel as badly about it.

90
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,000
But it is really interesting.

91
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:59,000
So, interestingly, these extremes, you get all this cool fairy lore and all this sweet innocent interaction between these two characters.

92
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,000
Palemba is just kissing, which is a little tedious.

93
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,000
And then, I'm not sure where I'm on.

94
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,000
I'm not decided on yet.

95
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,000
So, anyway, that's it for now.

96
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,000
Check out the next one.
