Today I will be authoring on the emotional and physical damage of flat Stanley as well as talking about the physical book. First off, the physical damage caused the attacker known as the bulletin board. The lack of care for Stanley after his fatal injury was to put into simple words just barbaric, you can see that the attacker crushes Stanley and the victim was flattened by this large object. After this incident you can see that Stanley is called flat Stanley to mock him and degrade him which flat Stanley is okay with due to trauma. Another forum of mockery are people making paper versions of him. We can tell the real one since flat Stanley went to space and the speed you would have to be going to be in space would make paper burn up. People do not follow the moral code and moral ethics instead they use him for their own advantage. A notable example of this, is when flat Stanley’s brother used him as a kite which has no morals and is wrong. The other issues with what people are doing is that Flat Stanley is vulnerable to anything because he is as flat as paper. Overall, the writer was not thinking when authoring this book and was not thinking logically. It is scary that an author would put someone getting flattened and think this is all right for children. This might be my 2020 Karen side coming out but this is weird to be put into a children’s book at the same time it gives some good lessons that despite whatever you are dealing with you should learn to embrace it but I feel it should not be so selective on the lessons they are teaching. I might have missed some lessons as it has been a while since I have read the book and do not particularly have the motivation or reasoning to read it again. I have learned that the author authored this book for his sons as a bedtime story but what I am wondering why did he write it, what message would the author be giving his kids? What reason would he have for authoring a book about a kid who gets flattened? Who would that be entailed for? There are so many unanswered questions that we may never know. I am still curious despite it being 40 years old I still have lots of wonders and questions about this book. If I am speaking on my opinions, I believe that the people who are supposed to take care of flat Stanley are committing atrocities and he needs to be set free from their suppressive acts. He even is rolled up in an envelope and sent to California with only a sandwich to keep him from being starved. Shipwrecked crewmates get more to eat than flat Stanley. This is not just some fun little idea this is downright cruel why would you do such a despicable act. This is just horrific. This young boy could have had PTSD from this shameful act. He is also forced into being a security guard to stop some criminals from stealing paintings. Did Stanley want to do this. I think not, he is only a child and cannot do much do to being flat. Another reason the auther is a bad person is he puts illustrations in almost every page of his book. I do not think this is just for the non-imaginative kids. I believe the author did This is to body shame Stanley. This is also why he calls Stanley “flat Stanley.” This is another forum of body shaming, what’s next calling him anorexic Stanley. I think not, instead of praising the author we should be shaming the author for the way he is treating Stanley. When you look at the ratings of this sinful book, everyone loves it. Nobody gets the true reasoning behind this book. It is to shame anybody who is different, Afterall this is the 80s and life was different then so they must not have known better. For children to like this book and take their teachings from this book should not be allowed. Isn’t this why cancel culture is a thing and why everybody is trying to cancel everybody and everything for being too controversial. Why haven’t they tried to cancel this book. This had unbelievably bad teachings and should not be read in schools. In all seriousness I don’t hate this book or it is teachings I really do not care what it teaches I have personally read some of the most controversial books there are. In fact, I do not think it really has bad teachings and should be read in schools. Many schools teach much worse books in school than this book and for that I praise the author. I have read it personally I have read this book and don’t think that this is a bad children’s book or that there are any weird teachings in this book or that flat Stanley is a sadist. In conclusion I do not hate flat Stanley and even though my arguments are thorough It is a children’s book and theoretically there would be no children interested in the systemic injustice for people who are as flat as flat stanley
