Narrative+and+Genre+FS

The reason I choose this picture is because there are many different possibilities that this picture can be turned into. At first, I thought that since there were two hedgehogs who looked like they were by themselves, than they could be out on an adventure. When I changed that idea, I thought it could be a love story since they look like they are kissing. Than I realized that the hedgehog on the left may be biting his/her friend on his right instead of kissing. The reason I did this is because I wanted to stretch the truth. The hedgehog on the left is obviously not eating the one on the right but the reason I called him a cannibal is because I thought it would add to the drama.
 * Assignment**:
 * 1) Go back to MyON to view the cover of **Feliz dia de Gracias, Gus!. T**hen go back to view the first scene in **Assignment America.**
 * 2) Think about what the cover of a book or CD might be if each was recreated as another genre. **Guiding Questions:** What color background would you use? What text? What style font and what color for the text would you use? Where would the text be placed? What would be the subject matter of any pictures and what style pictures would you need to use? What would be the setting for the picture? What size would the picture be compared to the text? You might want to go to Amazon.com to look at book covers for ideas.

If you had used a text editor instead of hand-writing the text, it would have a more finished look.
