:::I'm not saying we should cut important analytical content, I'm saying we should remove content that is unimportant to the story line or its subtexts. Example: 
 ::::Dick suggests to Wendy that he and Danny get some ice-cream. Dick and Danny speak, and Dick explains to Danny that his telepathy was called "shining" by his grandmother, who also had the same gift. 
 :::Is it really necessary to say that he suggested to Wendy that he and Danny go get ice-cream? Couldn't we just say that he speaks privately with Danny about the shining, etc.?
