Stuart Little By E. B. White
The Use of Illustrations to Tell a Story Stuart Little written by E.B. White is a story about a mouse who is born into a family of humans. Throughout Stuarts story he goes on adventures of all kinds, through his adventures he is introduced to love, and tragedy. Throughout the book E.B. White has used illustrations done by Garth Williams to enhance the mood, tone, visualization and significance of an event. I have chosen to focus on the image on page seventy-four I choose this image because it shows how Stuart is handling/perceiving life at that moment in his story. The illustration on page seventy-four shows the apartments, and towers, trees, the road and the sidewalk seem huge in Stuarts neighbourhood. Right near the centre of the drawing

Henceforth, within the book Stowe gives examples how there is no “good slave owner”, by pointing out the flaws St.Clair and Shelby possess in the act of keeping slaves, even though they are considered to be kind to their slaves.

    In James Baldwin’s “A Stranger in the Village” and “Sonny’s Blues,” our eyes are opened to the struggles of African Americans in the 1950’s. Baldwin writes about the struggles with identity, social acceptance, and racial discrimination. It is apparent that Baldwin has a very strong opinion behind the reasoning for these three struggles and he elaborates on each throughout these two stories. Through bringing these themes to life, he helps us to have a closer glimpse of what it was like to be like him.…
