Storybook Convention In The Story Jealous Jerry
I have used the following storybook conventions in the story Jealous Jerry: Dialogue, Colour, Images, Alliteration, Repetition, Simple Language and a moral to entertain people about the smart adventures of jerry.
I have used the storybook convention dialogue to convey the moral; parents will always love anything you do. This is seen at the point where Mum then says “Your father and I Love your work! We just haven’t seen it yet.” I used this convention because my moral is: “being jealous of people’s success and popularity is alright because as long as you and your parents love what you do not much else matters” and “Setting goals is alright, just don’t let it turn into anger”.
I have also used the storybook convention colour on the front cover

    In Amy Tan’s The Joy Luck Club, from “Two Kinds” and in Bissinger’s Friday Night Lights, the outcome of parents expectations of their children is perfectly portrayed. When a child is pressured to live up to their parents expectations, they become stressed. In most cases, this leads to failure because the child feels as if they will never be able to please the parent. In other cases it leads to the child cracking under pressure and being too anxious to complete the task at hand, or the child might use the stress to motivate them and succeed. The problem is that the last outcome is very seldom, but parents always think that that’s what will happen.…

    In 1964, the literary critic Northrop Frye published a book, titled The Educated Imagination, in which summarized his ideas on the relevance of literature to life and more specifically, the conventions that come with them. Frye establishes the literary forms through the exploration of traditional and modern forms of story telling. The foundation of conventional literature has been told many times throughout history, however it is at the discretion of the author to embellish it with minor outlying details, or content change. Literature can only stem from literature itself. All literature is new, but also recognizable. We can still find these conventions in modern day literature and media. An illustration of the Cinderella story convention is…

    There are parents who decide what their kids future is going to be. Some parents tend to tell their kids what they want them to be when they grow up . These parents put expectations for their kids way too early in life forcing them to become what their parents want them to be. This is unfair to sons/daughters because they might be stuck becoming something they don't like or simply aren’t good at. In Shakespeare’s Hamlet a son named Hamlet is trying to avenge his father's death who was killed by his own brother who marries his wife. The father of Hamlet is old Hamlet who comes back as a ghost demanding his son to kill his uncle but to leave his mother alone.In Miller’s The Death of a Salesman the father Willy wants his oldest son Biff to become…

    My parents are always willing to teach their four children a lesson. Most of the time they only have to teach my brothers a lesson because my sister and I are angels! That statement may not be true, but in my mind it is. My parents also think you’re never too old to learn new lessons, even to this day. Whenever I do something stupid that results in me getting hurt, my dad always reminds me that “education is expensive”.…
