Some mothers got classic picture books and were excited for a long time. Yes! The original classic picture books not only let people see the sincerity of childhood, but also let people see the farther horizon. I recommend the following picture book to my mothers, which is very classic. Look at the cover of the picture book. A big monster and a small sailboat are coming from the lake. When this work was first published in 1963, many American mothers thought that big monsters would scare their children, but big monsters were deeply loved by American children, which also made this book win the most authoritative picture book award-Cardet Kurt Medal founded by American Library Association. How Mom Appreciates English Picture Books (1) With appreciation, we see that the monster has claws, but it has human feet. The sailboat coming from the lake is empty. Seeing this, I want to ask, "Why is there no one on the small sailboat?" "Why do big monsters have human feet?" Before answering these questions, we must first understand the story outline of the work. The hero of the story is the naughty boy below. The little boy dressed as the wolf is fooling around at home and running after the dog. Mother lost her temper and punished him for staying in the bedroom without eating. The little boy was so angry that he had the idea of running away from home. How does mother appreciate English picture books (2) So the little boy closed his eyes and gambled and fantasized in the bedroom. The little boy fantasized that he was on a small sailboat and came to a forest. Obviously, the forest symbolizes the illusory world. The journey of a small sailboat across the water symbolizes that children begin to imagine themselves and start their inner journey. When he came to the forest, the little boy met 10 wild animals. The little boy got along well with wild animals, and finally rode on the neck of one wild animal and danced with other wild animals (I have an analysis later). After dancing with wild animals, the little boy felt lonely and decided to go back to his mother. When the little boy returned to his bedroom, he found a warm dinner. At this point, the little boy has eased his mood and he is not angry with his mother. His mother forgave the little boy, too, and the story ends here. This picture book was published by 1963. At that time, when the United States painted a book, it paid little attention to the emotional flow of children, especially the negative emotions of children. At that time, American picture books did not face up to the reality: in the eyes of adults, children are still young, but in their own hearts, they are a complete world. Small things in the eyes of adults may be big things in the eyes of children. Adults should not ignore the power of various negative emotions in children's minds. Children will have anger and children will have hatred. Of course, this picture book tells us that children can also overcome their anger and hatred. Look at the cover when you come back. "Why is there no one on the small sailboat?" As we all know, when drawing the cover of a book, the protagonist usually appears, but why is there no little boy on the cover of this book? It turns out that the story tells us that the little boy relieves his unhappy mood through the fantasy of running away from home. The small sailboat on the cover symbolizes the inner journey. The whole cover reflects the inner world of the little boy; The whole cover is a "perspective" of a little boy's inner activities. Therefore, the little boy will not appear naturally. Look at the cover title (where are the wild things). In this work, big monsters are called "wild things", not monsters, which shows that the author has unique considerations. The word thing is interpreted as "thing". The word "thing" is vague and can symbolize "people", "animals" and "emotions". And wild means "wild" and also means "emotional frenzy" The author calls the big monster on the cover "wild things", which means that the readers in the picture book and several big monsters symbolize the burning anger, resentment and other negative emotions in the little boy's heart. Wild Animals gives people a broad space for analysis. Further analysis, the monster is huge, which not only symbolizes the anger inside the child, but also symbolizes the adult in the eyes of the child. Because, the big monster in the book, although terrible in appearance, also showed warm affection. It is both terrible and amiable, which embodies the "adult image" in children's minds. For example, some mothers are "too anxious" and lose their temper when they see that their children are not learning well. Perhaps, when you lose your temper, it is such a big monster in the eyes of children. There is a scene mentioned above: a little boy rides on the neck of a wild animal and dances with other wild animals. Because the beast symbolizes "children's negative emotions" and "adults in children's eyes", this dancing scene is very interesting. For children, only riding on the neck of adults can be taller than adults. Riding on an adult's neck, in addition to fun, you can also enjoy the taste of surpassing adults. The author's arrangement symbolizes that children have defeated adults in fantasy and let go of their inner anger. At the end of the picture book, the little boy returned to his bedroom. Outside the window was a full moon hanging in the sky, symbolizing the boy's inner satisfaction. How does mom appreciate English picture books? (3) I used some "text recovery techniques" above. My mother should not analyze the analysis I gave the children above. As long as children like reading English picture books with their mothers, they can. Parent-child reading, with a "fun" mentality, can continue reading with lasting interest. Share with:
