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**: In this story the used bright Thanksgiving colors such as gold, yellow, orange, and brown. The page was set up by putting the words near the center of the two pages, and the pictures are towards the corners. The words and pictures were small so that they could fit on the two pages. The subject matter on the page was mostly the pictures. This book was written in the third person.
 * color
 * framing
 * composition
 * size
 * type of shot
 * subject matter
 * setting
 * lighting
 * pose
 * text (or voice)

The color in this little clip were muted and dull. The framing mostly put the elephant more to the right of the video, and the dog to the right of her.This also did close ups on the elephant and the dog. The lighting was a not as bright as it could have been, but it was good to go with the colors of the animals. This clip told the story in second person most of the time.
