Themes: "Dual ethnicity" are you for real?[edit]

"Ben's dual-ethnic and family identity." You have got to be kidding me. While I can appreciate the subtle overtones of cross European Union relations, bottom line is they are white. Even the EU doesn't consider the differences of Italy and Greece ethnic, they are part of the same EU community which makes it so much harder to swallow that because the little boy who was taken away from a US Italian family and raised in a US Greek family to be that far fetched, and thus sounds like something some white woman concocted to sound all that more oppressed since lacking more to complain about in their upper middle class white existence.

Now if the kid were (subjunctive mood emphasized since contrary to fact) raised in the ghetto, or the projects in Chicago's south side or maybe amongst the US Spanish-speaking / Latino - Hispano population, or Asian family to have taken him in, then Ok maybe I'd see the dual ethnic issues but not between Italy and Greece and should be deleted or refrained from use. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.94.53.219 (talk) 12:26, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article contradiction/confusion[edit]

The Plot summary starts out like it's talking about the book, but then by the second to last paragraph it has "...after the credits roll..." which is talking about the movie! There's no transition from one to the other that lets a reader know which goes with which. I think there should be two sections: one for the book, and one for the movie; in order to make it more clear. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.251.51.27 (talk) 04:19, 23 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:JacquelynMitchard TheDeepEndOfTheOcean.jpg[edit]

Image:JacquelynMitchard TheDeepEndOfTheOcean.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.
