1. Identify the image that in your opinion is the most effective
in developing the story as a whole and explain why it was effective. Did the
image and written narrative interact in a way the created irony, metaphor
and/or metonymy?
I feel the image that is the most
effective in developing the story as a whole is the first photo where the
mother, father, and child are laying on the bed together with the baby in the
center. The text accompanying the image is
“Life is given to each human being.” It
made me think about how sometimes children are planned and sometimes they are
not, but that we are given this gift of life to love, appreciate, take care of,
and parent whether the baby was planned or not!
3. Explain how two or more elements in the illustration help
support and develop the story.
I feel that this photo represents the
metaphor of life being given to each human being. The parent’s expressions look a little
surprised and unsure of what to do. So
many parents have these expressions with their first child especially if they've never experienced caring for an infant!
4. Identify two elements that are repeated throughout a majority
of the images. Explain how these elements support the story.
Two elements I emphasized with the
images I included were the love a mother has for her child and the importance
of family and doing things together. A
mother has a love for her child that is indescribable. I thought the image of the mother and child
was a good representation of the text “For a very special purpose.” The other images were ones with father,
mother, and their child together. These
photos were a representation of family and indication that each human being has
to find out for themselves. Life is
often what we make of it! We determine
the purpose we have in life and the love we show for others, which in turn regulates
the happiness in our lives.

ReplyDeleteThe image I really thought was most effective was page 2. I feel this was effective as when you have a child you want to help them find their purpose in life. Holding the child up and looking into their eyes seems to be a true connection of trying to help them find their way.
2. Explain how two or more elements in the illustration help support and develop the story.
The first page I feel having the parents surrounding their child is significant as they are going to shelter and take care of this child throughout their life. I also feel the element of the child reading shows a different way for people to discover themselves through written text.
3. Identify two elements that are repeated throughout a majority of the images. Explain how these elements support the story.
The element of the child growing up over the pages is a significant element to show the development over time and age. I think along with the child's growth is the child's support of her parents along the way. They are viewed throughout the book and feel this was done so to show how parents help children discover themselves.
4. Does your peer's picturebook convey a different interpretation of the poem from your own? How? Why?
The difference is I was showing an older woman and a butterfly. Britney is showing a child and her parents. I think this is another great way to show discovery. Children absorb so much and I feel we discover so much about our selves that we possible don’t even realize at a young age.
1. Identify the image that in your opinion is the most effective in developing the story as a whole. and explain why it was effective. Did the image and written narrative interact in a way the created irony, metaphor and/or metonymy? I loved the images that you chose! I think they conveyed a very powerful message about life! I liked the irony of being a baby as the first slide and then becoming a couple and repeating the cycle in the final slides!
ReplyDelete2. Explain how two or more elements in the illustration help support and develop the story. All of the elements supported the flow of the story. I really liked, once again, how the slides showed the cycle of life: starting as a baby, growing older, meeting someone and then continuing the cycle.
3. Identify two elements that are repeated throughout a majority of the images. Explain how these elements support the story. Two elements: use of people and the process of growing up. These elements work hand-in-hand in showing the way life progresses and then the cycle of life goes on to repeat itself.
4. Does your peer's picturebook convey a different interpretation of the poem from your own? How? Why? Your picturebook coveyed the exact same interpretation as my picturebook! We both chose to show life cycle through photos of a child growing and evolving into an adult!
Great job!

ReplyDeleteI think the first image is most effective in developing the story. Laying in bed with your significant other and the child you created together shows how important and big creating a life is.
2. Explain how two or more elements in the illustration help support and develop the story.
The first element is the child being in each image, which corresponds with what the poem is saying.
The second element the characters body language. It is clear through each image the love that these two parents have for their baby.
3. Identify two elements that are repeated throughout a majority of the images. Explain how these elements support the story.
The use of a couple and their baby represents the cycle of life which is what the poem was about in this particular story. The characters are also very happy. Even in the one image where their backs are facing the viewer you can still sense the happiness.
4. Does your peer's picturebook convey a different interpretation of the poem from your own? How? Why?
Your picturebook conveyed the same interpretation as my pitcurebook (I think most of ours did) :) The poem is about life and life is all about growing up and creating another life to experience the joys life has to offer.
