I have to admit that I never thought of it that way, but then again, I've only ever read it when I was a child. Children don't think of it that way, I'm fairly sure of that much. I know I didn't, but then again, I think a lot of kids read it for the story and not the tones underneath.

As for Love You Forever, I think it's a good book. It makes my grandmother cry when it's told, and I think all of us (they read part of it at my cousin's graduation from high school last year) had tears in our eyes.
