1. First complete the ** chart below ** comparing the narratives of the two stories. How does the story start? || The story starts in Mrs. Morrison's classroom. She asks everyone to bring in one item that they're grateful for. They were dismissed and on the bus they discussed the assignment. || The elephants usually find there own other elephants to be friends with but in this case the elephant chose a different type of friend. The elephant chose a dog named Bella. The elephant, Tara, and dog, Bella, are very close friends. || just one thing he was thankful. He was thankful for so much he just could not pick one thing. || The dog got ill and the dog and elephant couldn't see each other. So everyday that the dog was in the clinic the elephant waited outside everyday until the dog got better. || What has changed? || Well in the beginning of the story the main character is faced with a problem that needs to be fixed. Towards the end the solution becomes clear and then the story ends with what he's thankful for. The mood has changed because in the beginning there was a feeling of urgency to find the one most important thing Gus was thankful for. In the end the mood was more relaxed because he found the answer to his problem. || In this story the beginning starts off very happy and calm but later the main characters are faced with a problem, the elephant and dog couldn't see each other. At the end it also ends with a happy ending about the elephant and the dog stayed best friends. I feel that the story changes feeling from beginning to end. The saddest part of the story is in the middle. || How is this achieved? || I see this story from a narrators point of view because the story is in third person. I know this because no possessive nouns or verbs were used. || This story is obviously narrated because the characters obviously could not speak or communicate with humans. I know this because the two characters were animals and the animals' story was told by a narrator from a news channel. || 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 ** : All these things help make the story's mood happy. The colors in the story show that the story is happy and the color is really light childish colors. The framing shows the whole seen scene of what is happening in the story at the time. Setting in this story is a very nice quiet place. The lighting, pose, and text all show that the story was very childish and happy.

 * || **Happy Thanksgiving Gus ...** || **Assignment America ...** ||
 * What is the opening situation?
 * What is the problem of challenge that is posed? || The main character Gus could not think of
 * How does this create conflict between characters? || This brought conflict in this story by wasting a whole day on trying to figure out what he is thankful for. || This brought conflict because they couldn't see each other and that caused both animals to be very depressed. ||
 * How is this resolved? || Gus knew what he was thankful right after the turkey saved him and his friend from another trick from Billy. Gus was most thankful for that turkey. || Everyday while the dog was in the hospital for a short period of time someone would take the dog outside to see the elephant so they could see each other. ||
 * How is the closing situation different to the opening situation?
 * Do you see the story from one character's point of view?
 * color
 * framing
 * composition
 * size
 * type of shot
 * subject matter
 * setting
 * lighting
 * pose
 * text (or voice)

The general color was that of a nice sunny day outside. The camera shots and everything that goes with that was really good and it really captured every moment of importance on the video. This video was more of a serious matter than the other story. This one actually had an important message and used the setting, lighting, pose, and text very well.

 * Note: How did it use the setting, light, pose and text very well?**
