Jake Glazier Dim. Lit. The Other Side of the Hedge E.M. Forster The Other Side of the Hedge is a powerfully symbolic essay‚ sometimes allegorical while other times more direct.

A social commentary and an amount of satire over exaggerated to prove a point about society. Disney movie story lines are not a form of reality they are written scripts of fiction.
