Adding new sections

I plan on heavily revising the plot summary to be both less detailed and more neutral. I also plan on adding more to the historical background and adding a "Themes/Analysis" section that focuses on central issues related to the book. I also will update some citations to align the text more with more modern understandings of the book. Jlw9439 (talk) 01:48, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Themes/Analysis Section - serious issues

I am removing the last paragraph in the Themes / Analysis section simply because the text is incoherent, ill-sourced, and the comment that "Wilder-Lane books were influenced by Ronald Reagan’s presidential years" is, of necessity, false on its face, because Laura Ingalls Wilder, the author of the book, died in 1957, and her daughter, Rose Wilder Lane (who is not credited as a co-author anyway,) died in 1968, while Ronald Reagan was inaugurated as president in 1981. If these are what the sources state, then they are provably false. If they say something else, then they were badly misunderstood and misquoted by the prior editor. The sources themselves are either physical printouts or behind a paywall. Jkp1187 (talk) 15:00, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
