[ WP ] You majored in literature , and have forgotten to read a book for a critque that you must write . It is due tommorow and you have no more time left so you decide to read a children 's story . Write a serious critque of said story .

From Ulysses to the Hunchback of Notre Dame to Superman himself, Mr Bump is the story of a hero, of a beacon of light and hope, seemingly untouched by the darkness that surrounds him. And yet, as it would soon be clear, despite being the perfect Bildungsroman, Mr Bump subverts and perhaps even parodies postmodernism. And despite being a child's book, it questions the very foundations of the system we live and breathe. In this brief but impactful work, Mr Hargreaves pays tributes to the many ancient giants of literature. The central premise is older than feudalism itself- with great effort comes great reward. Dig deeper and you will find a burning critique of capitalism and fiscal conservatism- does a good man like Mr Bump deserve so many difficulties simply because welfare might cost the state some revenue? 
 
 Mr Bump is the endearing and hardworking titular protagonist. Yet, due to how he has been born, he is constantly injured due to just about any attempt to perform a task. However, the atmosphere is not one of despair and dreariness- instead it is reminiscent of silent comedians Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. Mr Bump may be disabled but he remains positive. It is truly heartwarming and a breath of fresh air in the midst of modern dark retellings. 
 
 Mr Bump's life consists of taking up a variety of menial jobs which all end disastrously. Like many left-wing works before him, this paints the picture of the good-natured worker, oppressed by forces and higher-ups beyond his control. 
 
 Indeed, once we are met with the sight of Mr Bump's mansion, this literal interpretation starts to fray at its edges. Of course, it can be explained away through reasons like winning the lottery or family inheritance, but a different interpretation would shine light upon Mr Bump's housing circumstances. When Mr Bump falls from a ladder or off a bus, it could easily symbolize more subtle difficulties in his life which affect his every move, not unlike the main character battling depression despite her wealth and status in The Bell Jar. 
 
 But ultimately, Mr Bump is rewarded for his efforts. He finds his place in the universe and is finally able to give back to his community. This book is a must-read for many a person tired by the sorrowful tone of modern literature- Mr Bump has a blissful disregard for the chaos that surrounds him, overcoming a disability that would beat lesser mortals and it all ties nearly in a happy ending. Truly, the work is Herculean in essence.
