Comparison
The boy who cried wolf
The boy who cried wolf tricked his village into thinking he was in danger. I think the mood and atmosphere of this story is trickery. The boy plays tricks on his village. He also did the tricks because he was bored.
The north wind and the sun
In the north wind and the sun the story is about competition
because the sun challenges the north wind to a challenge of who can
knock off a man's raincoat. The mood and atmosphere of this story
is bragging and jealousy
The things they have in common both are using a lot of verbs
The Boy who cried Wolf
In the boy who cried wolf it used verbs as rushed , clasped , scolded
, ran , leapt , scrambled, swarmed , creeping this helped the mood
to be creepy because these words make me think of people running
and panicking.
The north wind and the sun
In the north wind and the sun it used verbs like blew, slip, huffed, blow, tattered, shivering, clasped and this helped to created the mood to be a challenge/competition because it makes me think of a battle against each other
They also had a lot of describing words involved inside the story.
The Boy who cried Wolf
it used describing words as shadow, sharply,grabbed, raced,biggest and this helps use words to describe how some of the charterers act because it makes me feel a bit worried for the sheep and others.
The north wind and the sun
it used describing words as tightly, cheerfully, crowded, annoyed.
This made the mood challenging because it made me think about
jealousy.
Ka pai EJ, I like how you and Mahara thought about the connotations of the verbs and adjectives that each author used. If you crossed paths with a wolf, what would you do?
ReplyDeleteHi EJ, Ngairon here from Ahipara school. I really like your post about the boy who cried wolf and it sounds great. Maybe next time you could not make the words go off the page cause it's pretty hard to read. Ka pai.
