c)He never was influenced by books when he was young and neither will today's children

If you were to bother to read my books , to behave as educated persons would , you would learn that they are not exy and do not argue in favor of wildness of any kind . They beg that people be kinder and more responsible than they often are . It is true that some of the characters speak coarsely That is because people speak coarsely in real life . Especially soldiers and hardworking men speak coarsely , and even our most sheltered children know that . And we all know , too , that those words really don't damage children much . They didn't damage us when we were young . It was evil deeds and lying that hurt us .
