An English author and illustrator of children’s picture books, Emily Gravett, brings a fresh outlook to the children’s books where she won Kate Greenway Medal and the Nestle Children’s Book Prize Bronze Award for Wolves and Little Mouse’s Big Book of Fears, Book Trust (2015). Again! is another brilliant of Gravett. A little green dragon wants his mother to read a bedtime story of a bright angry red dragon name Cedric who causes havoc every night, repeatedly that it sends her to fall asleep before he does.

Cleverly, Gravett builds unexpected insight as to what Tunnell (2008) describes that good story sometimes involve small surprises. The unexpected insight simply brings amazement to the readers where the little dragon has burnt a hole through

"Certain things shape you, change you forever," Bray writes. " Years later, long after you think you've escaped, some ordinary experience flings you backward into memory. Being poor is like that.…

    Christina's World By Andrew Wyeth

    Your analysis of Andrew Wyeth's Christina's World, regarding scale and proportion was interesting to read. According to our class reading this week, Professor Tessier explained that “proportion is the size of a part in relation to the whole” (Tessier, 2017). You mentioned proportion in the painting regarding Christina being the largest object in the art work. My observation regarding proportion in this artwork was the vast size of the field in relation to the distance between Christina and the small farmhouse. My interpretation of the vast field was that, Andrew Wyeth wanted to create a sense of isolation between Christina and the farmhouse.…

    A Small Good Thing Comparison

    Delight and distress can be the words to describe life depending on a person’s view of it. Raymond Carver, a prominent short story author, demonstrates this in his stories, “A Small, Good Thing, and “The Bath”. Both stories deal with a father and mother’s departure from their joyful life to a one with misery after their son’s death. “A Small, Good Thing” and “The Bath” contain the same general plot, but the differences are evidently present. While "A Small, Good Thing" and "The Bath" both offer the same broad story, most readers can agree on that "A Small, Good Thing" is superior as it provides significantly more explanations and character development.…
