// **Feliz dia de Gracias, Gus!** // ** Paragraph Here ** :

The Feliz dia de Gus story was about Gus going to the farm and getting vegetables. Right when you start the story, you can tell it is a children story. First of all, there are talking animals, which usually appear only in kids stories. Secondly, there is a lot of bright colors, making it a friendly story. Thirdly, there is a problem with bullying, and in the end a turkey chases away the bully and the turkey and Gus become best friends.


 * //Assignment America// Paragraph Here ** :

Assignment America is a story about two best friends that are not from the same species. One is a dog, while the other is a elephant. The way they use the camera is that they are making it seem like they are definetly best friends, and have been for a long time. Also, they use the narrator to make it a family news clip instead of a adults only or kids only clip. It wasnt very long, so it was perfect for a short clip for the family. The camera movement and focus makes it very cute.
