Anyone remember the name of that book about Coals and Pearls representing black and white people?

Thanks Marian.
I agree that the problems don't seem as egregious with this one. I'm just pointing out that it's not always true that 10 writers have 12 opinions. You do have to think about this kind of stuff these days.
The idea presented pretty much is a fairytale.There's nothing wrong with the message, and as long as you make that message come across, you're fine. Or you can turn it into one more fairy tale that has nothing to do with reality.
The idea presented pretty much is a fairytale.
One upon a time there was a young woman, a princess, who was told she had to marry the son of her father's enemy to save the kingdom, but she couldn't bear the thought so she took off under the cloak of night. Once out in the world, though, she discovered through her adventures that there was something bigger than her and her selfishness was causing others pain. Therefore when the prince, sent on a quest to find his lost princess, came upon her, she went back with him and they got married, thus forging the necessary alliance for their kingdom to live happily ever after.
Not that fairytales are bad. I like fairytales. But to claim that the ideas presented are somehow not the same conventions that fairytales use (spoiled princesses, princes on quests to rescue princesses, marriages at the end that solve the problems presented, and a moral to the story whereby people learn to be more compassionate or to listen to their elders or whatever the case is) would be disingenuous.
So its a self sacrifice to agree to marry the villain in the name of peace?
