Then, by paying particular attention to the visual images in the stories and the ways in which these provide clues to the meaning of the stories, write a paragraph explaining how you "read" the stories to get the full meaning of each of the stories. You may find it useful to consider some of these factors: //**Feliz dia de Gracias, Gus!**// **Paragraph Here**: They used color on the animals. They did not use framing. They did not use composition. They had a small size. They had a close shot. They had a farm setting. They had bright lighting. They had a straight pose. They had text.
 * color
 * framing
 * composition
 * size
 * type of shot
 * subject matter
 * setting

 * text (or voice)
 * (There is always framing. There is always composition.** **"They had a straight pose" - what does that mean?)**

They had a forest setting. They had a not bright lighting. They had a straight pose. They had a narrators voice.
