When one watches a video of the same story or views some pictorial illustrations, the ordeal for Ida becomes clearer. Ida can be seen in deep grief when she discovers her sister is missing. She is also overwhelmed by joy when she successfully retrieves her sister from the goblins. The illustrations depict her lifting and carrying her sister cheerfully. The pictures make the story more fascinating, understandable, and relatable.
The importance of pictures in picture books is further demonstrated in van Allsburg's The Garden of Abdul Gasazi. In this story, Miss Hester entrusts her neighbour Alan Mitz, a little boy to look after her dog Fritz. Everything goes well throughout the morning, but an afternoon walk ends in Alan and Fritz in the house of retired magician Abdul Gasazi. The magician tricks Alan into believing that the dog turned into a duck, only for Alan to find the dog in Miss Hester's house once he returns from Gasazi's house. Narrating this story without pictures may not generate the same meaning and understanding of the trials and tribulations involved, if narrated only in words. Pictures help illustrate the close relationship between Alan and the dog, his fascination for the afternoon walk, his curiosity on noticing a warning that dogs are not allowed into Gasazi's garden, and his determination to stop the adamant Fritz from entering the garden. The pictures also show the scenic appearance of Gasazi's house, Alan's remorsefulness for Fritz's entry into the garden, Gasazi's dislike for dogs, Alan's sadness when he is unable to find Fritz, and the little boy's feeling of silliness when he discovers Gasazi tricked him. Without pictures, the reader may not effectively capture Alan's encounter and the emotions it elicited.
Pictures, according to Fang, are also important for defining and developing characters. Every character in a story possesses certain characteristics, which attract the attention of the reader. Often, it may not be feasible for a story teller to mention all the details of characters. With pictures, however, the storyteller can use lesser words to depict a story, while at the same time adding life to the story. The story teller can use illustrations to depict the traits of the characters and their emotions…
On the other hand, autistic individuals may use other senses differently. For example, she says that "Many autistic children like to smell things, and smell may provide more reliable information about their surroundings than either vision or hearing" (pg. 75). or, the children may only eat certain foods because of the texture or smell. Chapter 5 on developing autistic talent was the most beneficial. It provided insights into how to
PARK The aim of my project was to create a short story, which combines the textual elements of fiction, plus illustrations ranging from digital photographs to illustrations. My goal was to be experimental and to satisfy a need that has not been done before. I was frustrated by the fact that there are hardly any fictional works that combine both text and picture and illustrations aimed at the adult audience. Currently,
MULTICULTURAL CHILDREN'S BOOKS -- AN ANALYSIS Sociology Multicultural Children's Books -- an Analysis Multicultural Children's Books -- an Analysis Children's literature more accurately reflects the many histories that construct nations such as the United States. The perspectives of children's books should be included read for this week's session for continued analysis and interpretation. Multicultural perspectives were excluded in the past for several reasons. One reason is that the cultural perspective that had the most
The book highlights the actions of the divine, rather than the actions of man. However, if one takes the historical interpretation of the Book of Revelation, the moral content is not lessened. It then stands as an example of what happens to one if they continue to act in a certain way. It is another example of God's punishment and wrath for those that do not obey his word. In
Although Dorian has clearly been touched (figuratively) by Lord Henry, he immediately "falls in love" with the young actress he sees during a stage performance of a Shakespeare play. It seems to the reader that Wilde intentionally makes Dorian's feelings for Sibyl unrealistic and not true to Dorian's character by having Dorian come from nowhere with news that he is engaged to Sibyl, and then a few days later
In the article, "Unlocking the Power of John's Gospel," Ray Bystrom (2004) declares "John's Gospel is like a river in which a lamb may bathe and an elephant swim -- both shallow and deep at the same time. The new convert and the mature disciple will profit from a careful reading of John's Gospel." (Bystrom, 2004) The Gospel of John represents Jesus Christ as the Son of God and
