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 ** : When I was reading the story you could tell the contents were for the lower grades. I noticed that the color of the story made it cheerful because of the colorful pictures. I also noticed that even though it is in Spanish the picture give the mood and the situation of the story. It also has some cognates which would make the word understandable. During the scene change you can also see that the setting has changed are are moving on to a different scene. I also noticed that the framing was good because it went well with the background and looked really good. I also saw that the text was size appropriate for the story and that the voice matched with the characters voice.

I think that the camera sets the tone because of the angle it is on. During the story the camera is perfect because it stays on both the elephant and the dog. I think if they came from a different angle the story would have been different in mood. I also noticed that the pose of every object was in the perfect way. An example would have been when they showed the dog on the floor with his problem. To me it looked so depressing which touched my heart. The graphics and the way the story was told made the story look and seem very sad. In general I loved the way the story was told from the cameras perspective.
