White uses in Charlotte’s Web to describe a character’s behaviour? (2.5 marks for each answer = 5) There are two main literary techniques E. B. White uses in Charlotte’s Web to describe a character’s behaviour are as follow:- 1. Personification: White uses personification to describe Charlotte’s behavior, such as when he writes, “Charlotte was a wise old spider who understood everything, even the mysterious workings of a child’s mind.” This gives the spider human-like qualities and helps the reader understand the character better. 2. Metaphor: White also uses metaphors to describe Charlotte’s behavior, such as when he writes, “Charlotte was like a light in the darkness, a beacon of hope and understanding.” This metaphor helps the reader to visualize and appreciate the character’s positive qualities.

Question Two: Why is Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are considered a classic in children’s literature? Do you think it still holds up? Why or why not? (5 marks) Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are is considered a classic in children's literature because of its imaginative and poignant storytelling. The book deals with a range of emotions, from loneliness to anger to joy, and the story follows Max's journey of self-discovery. The illustrations are also unique and captivating, and they capture the emotions of the characters in a way that speaks to readers of all ages. I do think it still holds up. The themes of the book, such as loneliness, anger, and joy, are timeless and relevant. The illustrations are also timeless and beautiful, and they continue to capture readers' imaginations. Additionally, the book encourages children to explore their own emotions and to take charge of their own lives. This is a message that resonates with readers of all ages.

David Robertson and Julie Flett use words and illustrations to highlight the Indigenous experience in residential schools in When We Were Alone in two ways. First, the words of the protagonist – a young Indigenous girl – are written in an intimate and personal way, emphasizing her feelings of loneliness, confusion, and displacement. This is further emphasized through the accompanying illustration, she talks about the confusion and alienation she felt by not being allowed to speak her language, and how the other children blended with their strange words. Second, the illustrations also work to evoke an emotional response, as the muted color palette of the images reflect the sadness that the protagonist experiences. The uniforms the girls are wearing symbolize the assimilation of Indigenous people that was enforced by government policy in the residential school system. The girls are also sitting on a bench, which could represent the idea of being confined or limited in their choices and opportunities, which was a Go to next page
