Prank On Triangle Analysis

Improved Essays
This Picture Book is meant to teach children to be nice to others because in the book, triangle plays a prank on square, so square plays a prank on triangle.

Word choice here is very simple and geared toward younger children who are just learning to read. In the beginning, it says “He was going to play a sneaky trick on Square.” whereas it could’ve said “He was going to pull a stealthy prank on Square.” Stealthy and Sneaky have a significant difference, while pull and prank are just other ways of putting it. Sentences in this book have a very simple structure, along with the art style and choice of words, using very little contractions and

    During the 1900s sweatshop like conditions were a norm for many factory workers, this also included the workers at the triangle factory. Conditions of the factories and shops (near 500) were not held up to par because, most factory staff was made up of immigrants who came to America in search of the American dream and ended up in the ghettos trying to survive. The conditions of the factories were challenged and some changes were made, but as Samuel Gompers said, “women had to burn in order to spur government action on labor safety” (Triangle fire a teacher's guide). In 1909 20,000 to 30,000 garment industry workers went on strike seeking better pay, shorter hours, safer working conditions and most importantly unionization (TIMELINE OF EVENTS).…

    In the first scene that the wife hugs her husband from the back can tell that she worries and loves her husband and this gesture can work as word substituting of love and care. In the scene that the doctor gives him the paper, he takes off his glasses for a while, this can tell that he worries or he prepares himself before he reads the paper and its function is to substitute the words because he chooses to take off his glasses not to speak a word that he is worried about the result. Moreover in this scene, the gesture of taking off the glasses works with blank and worried facial expression and eye contact to show that he is not fine and he is so worried. In the scene when a guy is trying to hide the paper in the restaurant, this scene shows that he does not want another guy to know about his situation now and it tell that he tries to avoid the conversation about that paper and its function can be regulating the conversation because he tries to hide the paper, so he tries to tell that do not ask about it. Besides, it can be seen as word substituting because he does not say anything, but his gesture is trying to say that do not ask about the…

In the short-story “Brownies” there is a fine line between being a positive and negative role model. Arnetta is a very persuading young lady who we are introduced to early in the story. Although the story is told through the view of “Snot” (Packer 56), we see how the author illustrates the essentialness of how admiring someone can lead to a dishonoring conclusion.…

    This is achieved through short sentences such as, “Alex lit a cigarette”, “he sat and waited”, “Alex had almost gone to sleep” and finally, “Alex had blew a cloud of smoke”. Not only does this include a motif of ‘smoke’ which represents confusion, but the short sentences contain a physical movement performed by Alex that breaks the stream of consciousness, and allows the reader to almost time travel to the “here” and “now”. The reader is taken out of Alex’s chaotic mind and shifted back into the setting of the cafeteria thus playing with the notion of time and issuing a change of perspective and scenery. In terms of form, the short sentences also contribute significantly towards the narrative through creating a sense of realism which allows the reader to become an integral part of the situation, thus evoking an emotional reaction. It is the effective short sentences that signal a shift between exteriority and interiority.…

    Over the years, children’s literature has established itself as a vital tool for the exploration, feeling and creativity ideals that both children and young adults depend upon. Children’s literature is a necessity to facilitate learning, assist in shaping reader’s minds, to stimulate their thought processes and is a reflection of social change. Historically, Australian picturebooks were not a readily available or utilised resource. Australian colonial children were also only exposed to British children’s books, which sheltered them from experiencing literature about their own history, nature and landscape.…
