The Original Style of Jon Scieszka Jon Scieszka has an original style that is all his own. Many of his books such as The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs, The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales, and The Frog Prince Continued have led several people to believe that he has created a new genre of children's literature: using unique perspectives to retell classic fairy tales. But what motivated Scieszka to become an author? And how does he come up with his innovative ideas? I will answer
Comparing Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith to Tim Burton Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith's Baloney (HENRY P.) and Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas illustrations encourage us to see the world through a distorted lens. I would like to compare how similar but yet how different the two illustrators are in the way they show their work in a distorted view. Scieszka and Smith have made Henry P. a different kind of sci-fi adventure of a boy explaining to his teacher why he was late to school. Smith
The Stinky Cheese Man & Other Fairly Stupid Tales by Jon Scieszka Once upon a time there was a story called "The Gingerbread Man" and a little girl who loved to hear the story every night at bedtime. Each night at bedtime, the little girl's kind father would tell the story to his little girl. He knew how much his daughter loved the story and so he was happy to tell the story over and over and over again, well ... almost. One night when the dad, whose name was Jon, was asked for the fifty gazillionth
you in on a little secret ...nobody has ever heard my side of the story. I'm the wolf. Alexander T. Wolf...Al...This is the real story" (Scieszka). The well-known fairytale of The Three Little Pigs has changed directions a little over the centuries. No longer is the simple story of three pigs, a wolf, and a little "huffing and puffing" enough. Both Jon Scieszka and David Wiesner have added different twists to the all too familiar tale. By adding creativity, imagination, and perspectives, these men
The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs by A. Wolf Have you ever wondered what the wolf's side of The Three Little Pigs story was? Well, Jon Scieszka gives his readers the opportunity to see a different perspective dealing with this very circumstance. In many of his books, including The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs by A. Wolf, Scieszka has used this style of writing that varies from the norm. Every turn of the page gives rise to new wonder and suspense as to what the reader will encounter as

there is always bias, whether intended or not. Most historians do their best to exclude their opinions from the truth, although failing. From two primary sources, The Three Little Pigs, by James Marshall and The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs by Jon Scieszka, we can see how one thesis has multiple outlooks. In Marshall’s account, three pigs leave their mother’s nest to go find homes of their own. Now, the first pig buys straw to build his house even though the seller had warned him against it. This scenario
Ojibwa tale retold by Robert D. San Souci and illustrated by Daniel San Souci (San Souci, 1994). The parody I've chosen is "Cinderumpelstiltskin", found in the book The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales, by Jon Scieszka and illustrated by Lane Smith (Scieszka, 1992). All three renditions are picture storybooks, and have similarities in the cast of characters and in the motifs of transformation and magic, but there are significant differences within those similar themes. The three
Smell, taste, hearing, and touch combined only make up 17% of the information sent to our brain while sight makes up for the other 83%. This means that visuals are key to learning new concepts. That is why teachers have started to include an increasing number of visuals in high school education. Graphic novels, which are book illustrated with images, are starting to be used in high school classrooms, but some teachers do not agree with the idea of assigning high schoolers "picture books". Graphic
out. In the story, you get to hear the point of view from Alexander T. Wolf, throughout the story Mr. Wolf tries to persuade you to believe that he was totally innocent for blowing down the 3 pig’s houses. That is mainly what the book is about (Scieszka). I think people should read this book because it’s easy for little kids to read, most parents recommend it for their kids because when they were kids they loved the book, and it’s good for kids to see both sides of the story. First reason you should
His big eyes and scary looking teeth are definity frighting but is the big bad wolf really that bad? The big bad wolf is not the villian in the story. You never hear the big bad wolf’s version of story, you just hear about the accusations being made about him. With only that information it isn’t a fair statement to call him the villian. Wolves are an animal and it is completley normal for animals to hunt for their prey. Instead of focusing on all the negative stories about the Big Bad Wolf, there
In certain types of children’s literature the child is asked to use their imagination to travel to a different time, or a different place. Throughout history, and more recently, fantasy stories as well as science fiction have grown in popularity. The idea of being able to visit these different places and meet new characters, think of book like Harry Potter, that was later made into several movies, or The Chronicles of Narnia. In these types of books, the character is relatable as well as other parts
The NFL is the most spoken about sport in the united states. Tim green was part of the Atlanta Falcons for quite some time. Tim green was a star at the defensive end position from 1986 to 1993 this Falcons all-star had 99 tackles at the defensive end position and many more tackles at linebacker, and after his career he chose to be an author, which he had on his mind for a while. Tim Green’s childhood, athletic career, and writings all got him to the point where he is today. One thing that got
tools to carve us. The family itself can control and change our views on society, influence how we view the family unit, and yet most of all impact our everyday choices. There is nothing the family couldn’t possibly do. Anne Frank, Kino, Mourad, The Scieszka brothers, and the brother in family are divine exemplar for us to see the way a family can sway. Since the drive of the family is the second influential component of life, love is the first. Yet we fail to see that the family is the love, it doesn’t
