"To die would be an awfully big adventure."

My favorite story is the classic “Peter Pan” by J.M.
Barrie. I read this story just a week
ago and I was completely submersed in the book.
The philosophies of death and forgetting that are hidden in the book are
strangely in depth for a children’s story.
The descriptions of Neverland and
Peter, a heartless adventurous, forgetful boy, make it seem like I’ve known them
all my life. My favorite aspect of the
classic is how the author, J.M. Barrie, perfectly captures what life is like
from a child’s, adult’s, and a deity’s point of view. I fell in love with the story with the single
quote: “When the first baby laughed for the first time, its laugh broke into a
thousand pieces, and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning
of fairies.” This story is the definition
of beauty and bitter-sweetness; to read it was one of the best decisions I have
ever made.
