Today I will be teaching you about “Never Cry Wolf” by Farley Mowat. I chose this short story because I liked the setting as well as the wolves. SLIDE – POINT OF VIEW: The narrative is a first-person account from the perspective of a person. SLIDE – CHARACTERS: Indirect characterization is used in this story but the majority of information is held back from the reader. The reader can assume the first-person perspective is coming from a human because on page 2, the person narrates about their…
n answer to the tentacled creatures' questions, Calvin explains that he is a young man from a planet engaged in fighting off the Dark Thing. The beasts seem surprised that Calvin and the Murrys are not used to meeting beings from other planets. They tell their guests that they must entrust Meg to their care because she is extremely vulnerable and weak. Meg leans against the soft, furry chest of one of the beasts and feels warm and secure. The beasts rub something warm over her body, clothe…
Men and woman today do not always follow their “designated” gender roles as they have in the past and this causes skepticism in the way society views them. This is represented In the story where there is change surrounding the innate nature of men to showcase violence, and unclothed women to stray from innocence. The first example is in this quote when Carter displays the man’s attempt to remain inconspicuous, “The sticks twitched in the grate, the clock ticked and the young man sat patiently,…

Cleverly, Gravett builds unexpected insight as to…
For my fairy tale, I chose to read the story about “Goldilocks and the Three Bears”. In this story, Goldilocks is harassed and frightened by the bears. She is portrayed as the “bad” character in a few instances. In my opinion, she is a very inspiring young lady and the bears scurried her away for no apparent reason. Goldilocks was a good character since she was just hungry, tired, and unknown. To start, Goldilocks was hungry and was searching for food which doesn’t make her a horrible character.…

I have not re-read fairy tales a long time, so I had forgotten most of them. Not Your Mother's Goose was a great reminder with a twist. These are modern versions of fairy tales. You may want to read them when you've tired telling Cinderella to your kids before bed every evening, want a laugh or you are just a bitter, bitter person tired of sugary stuff. It is not a mere funny retelling of fairy tales, it's often a satire of modern word. It makes fun of celebrities and quirks in today's…
