A nursery rhyme is a traditional poem or song for young children in Britain and many other countries, but usage only dates from the late 18th / early 19th century. In North America the term Mother Goose Rhymes, introduced in the mid-18th century, is still often used. It has been argued to have hidden meanings and origins. For example, ‘’Baa, Baa, Black Sheep’’ supposed to originate from the period of slave trade and had a meaning that medieval taxes were much lower.
Fable is a literary genre: a succinct fictional story. In prose or verse, it features animals, plants, or forces of nature that are given human qualities, such as verbal communication. It often illustrates or leads to an interpretation of a moral lesson. Aesop's Fables includes most of the best-known western fables, including "The Tortoise and the Hare" and "The Lion and the Mouse".
The climax of a narrative work is its point of
highest tension or drama in which the outcome is made known. Could you relocate
where the climax of Hansel
and Gretel by Brothers
Grimm is and analyze your resolution associated with the
ideas of conflict?
In my opinion, the climax of Hansel and Gretel is in the scene that the witch told Gretel, ''Light the oven. We are going to have a tasty roasted boy today!'' Gretel returned, ''I can't tell if it is hot enough or not,'' which makes the witch angry and bend down to check the heat. In this moment, Gretel gave her a tremendous push and slammed the oven shut, leading to the death of the bad witch. There are two conflicts before the climax and have one conflict after it. The first conflict is that Hansel and Gretel lived in a poor family and they didn't have enough food to eat, so their stepmother persuade her husband to abandon them. The second conflict is that Hansel and Gretel failed to return home with his bread trails, and then they met the old bad witch that locked Hansel and made Gretel to do the housework, bringing the story to the climax. After the climax that the witch died in the Gretel's hand, there's still a conflict that Hansel and Gretel took the witch's treasure back to their house, accepting their father that abandoned them twice, living a happily life together with the money.
Discuss the themes from the story“Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears” that children can relate to their own lives such as the incidents and consequences, cause and effect: What happens when the grumpy iguana goes lumbering off with sticks stuck in his ears? How does one misunderstanding become a big problem? What do you learn about the lion from the way he handled the problem? Have you and a friend ever had a misunderstanding? What happened?
The iguana refuses to listen to any more nonsense of the mosquito with sticks stuck in his ears. Grumbling, the iguana offends a friendly python, who shoots down a rabbit hole and terrifies a rabbit. The misunderstanding of the python terrifying the rabbit. Seeing the rabbit scares a crow overhead, who spreads an alarm that danger is near. When a monkey reacts to the alarm, an owlet is killed, which makes mother owl grieve so profound that she is unable to wake the sun each day with her hooting. The nights grow longer, and when the King Lion calls a meeting to get to the bottom of the situation, the chain of events is traced back to the source of all the trouble, the pesky mosquito. Finding the culprit satisfies the mother owl, who calls the sun back again. I learn that you should traced the problem back to the origin, after all the process becoming clear, you can handle anything that is acceptable to others. In my experience, I have a younger sister, who would like to play iPad without my mom's acceptation. Once, my mom came home, without seeing my younger sister and iPad. She started to doubt that my younger sister is playing iPad, asking me about it. We sneaked upstairs to see my younger sister. To our surprise, she is doing homework. What a interesting misunderstanding it is!
