2. 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 ** : While I was reading this book I looked at the images from each page and it helped me better understand what the book was about. An example of this would be at the beginning of the story when the teacher was talking, some people might have not known that the person talking in the beginning was indeed a teacher. Another thing was the size of the words. The words are not to big that they cover the whole page but not so small that they can't be seen. The color that they use looks like its colored by hand. The position of the text so that the person reading the story will know what picture goes with what. They use colors to make the setting light.
