RUN+Strategies+VA

1. First complete the **chart below** comparing the narratives of the two stories. How does the story start? || It starts with the teacher coming into the classroom and trying to get the childrens attention by turning on and off the lights. || The story starts as a dog and a elephant. || What has changed? || It is different because in the end, Senor P is nice to them and he didn't rally have anything to do with them in the beginning. Senor P has became nicer to Gus and Beto. || The closing situation is saying why can't we be friends like these to animals. || How is this achieved? || I see it not from a characters view, but from a narrarators point of view. I can tell because it doesn't say "I" or "we". || Yes because you see the man talk in the begginning and at the end and during the middle of the video, it still sounds like him. ||
 * || **Happy Thanksgiving Gus ...** || **Assignment America ...** ||
 * What is the opening situation?
 * What is the problem of challenge that is posed? || The problem is that Gus needs to try and take a picture for his project, but Billy keeps on messing him up. || Bella suffered a spinal cord injury and couldn't even wag her tail. ||
 * How does this create conflict between characters? || Gus is trying to get a picture but Billy won't let him. || It doesn't. ||
 * How is this resolved? || In the end, Senor P scares Billy into a puddle of mud covered with hay before Gus and Beto run into it. || They bring Bella outside every day to see Tara until she got better. ||
 * How is the closing situation different to the opening situation?
 * Do you see the story from one character's point of view?

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**:
 * color
 * framing
 * composition
 * size
 * type of shot
 * subject matter
 * setting
 * lighting
 * pose
 * text (or voice)

The type of shot used was good because it always focused on what the passage was about. The text was also good because it gave good description on what was happening.I didn't like the voice though because it didn't sound like it would fit the character because Gus and Beto both sounded like girls, even though they are boys.
