the boy who cried wolf and the north wind and the sun comparison

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.

  1. 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?

  2. Hi 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.
