Millions of Cats ─ Analysis

　The very old man and the very old woman are protagonists, the very old man is round character, but the very old woman is flat character. The reason is that the very old man was hesitant when he saw trillions of cats. But, he becomes pleased to treat the only cat intently in the end. Other millions of cats, billions of cats and trillions of cats are foil character, and all of them are round characters. The trillions of cats are amicable at first. However, they become inharmonious and begin to quarrel after the very old man told them that he can only choose one cat. The ways characters are revealed are "What the narrator says about the character" and "What the character actually does". The setting is backdrop because the author said "Once upon a time" at first. The narrative point of view is Omniscient Narrator. The plot is dramatic. The problem is that the very old man and woman didn't have any posterity, so they are very lonely. In order to solve this unhappy problem, they decided to keep a sweet little cat. The man was hesitant to choose a cat, so he attracted trillions of cats to his house. Fortunately, they find a thin and scraggly cat to keep, and then they live a happy life.

　The first moral is "Do not be hesitant, or you will have none." The second moral is "The appearance is not everything. We can change it with our great efforts." The author use easy words, short sentences, dialogue, and some onomatopoeia. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

　In my opinion, although the pictures are not so colorful, the simple structures are easy to know. The easy words and the repeated sentences are both jammy to children. Besides, the onomatopoeia can attract children's attentions. The most important thing is that the author uses cat to be the main idea. Most children are interested in keeping animals, so this book can teach children a little bit about how to keep a cat. And they cannot abandon animals, even though the animal is not beautiful.  Although, I know that we cannot see trillions of cats in one place, especially in a hill. They cannot drink all of the water and eat all of grass.

Shrek ─ Analysis

　Shrek is antagonist and flat character because he is always bad to others. Shrek's parents, witch, peasant, dragon, donkey, knight, and the most stunningly ugly princess are foil character. And all of them are flat characters. The way characters are revealed are "What the narrator says about the character", "What the other characters say about the character" and "What the character actually does". The setting is backdrop, and it doesn’t give accurate background. The narrative point of view is Omniscient Narrator, and the plot is dramatic plot. The beginning of the story is that Shrek has to go out in the world doing his share of damage, and the witch tells him to find his the most stunningly ugly princess. So, he begins his journey, and he find his princess in the end.

　The first moral is "Do not judge others with their appearances." The second moral is "No matter how bad you are, the one who truly loves you must appear. So, do not be disappointed about yourself." The author uses easy words, short sentences, dialogue, and some poem with rhyme.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

　From my point of view, the reason I choose Shrek is that he is ugly enough to catch my attention. His green skin, red eyes, and ugly appearance are unique. Children can remember him easier. Besides, he is well-known to Children because of the Shrek movies. His unique appearance and his superpower can inspire children, and excite their imaginations. Although Shrek always does bad things, he doesn’t judge people with their appearances. Therefore, I think children can learn this essential thing through the whole story. The author uses colorful pictures to catch children's attention, and I think it is good. Besides, from my point of view, the reason that Shrek got married to the most stunningly ugly princess is that Shrek doesn't care the appearance of the ugly princess, neither does she. Therefore, they have a happy ending. If children criticize others' appearances at will, they might not have a happy ending like Shrek.

Donald And The Big Cheese：An Adventure in the Netherlands ─ Analysis

　Donald Duck, and Daisy Duck are protagonist. Hans is foil character. Donald becomes brave and kind, so he is round character. Daisy and Hans are always kind, so they are flat characters. The ways characters are revealed are "What the narrator says about the character" and "What the character actually does". The setting is integral because the author mentioned the Netherlands. The narrative point of view is Omniscient Narrator. The plot is dramatic. The problem is that Donald and Daisy go to Amsterdam, and they meet Hans, who often makes Daisy blushed. Donald wants to catch Daisy's attention, but he usually causes something bad on himself. Fortunately, Donald save Daisy' s life when she have a serious trouble in the end.

　First moral is "Do not use wrong way to catch other's attention, or you will cause something bad." Second moral is"Do not judge others by the first impression" The author use easy words, short sentences, and dialogue.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

　Author uses Donald to represent little children, and Daisy represents their mother. I think the author wants to show children that whether their mothers have second baby or not, they should not be like Donald, who did a lot of bad things to catch Daisy’s attention. If they do it, they will cause trouble to their parents. After reading this book, I found that the books, which are published from Disney, help children be familiar with new information easier. The author gives children a lot of information about the Netherlands through this story, so children can image how the Netherlands looks like, even although they have never been to that. Besides, there are some extra texts and pictures in the end of this book to improve children’s knowledge, and I think it really helps a lot. What’s more, I also learned a lot of things about the Netherlands, especially Vincent van Gogh. I don’t know he is a Dutch before I read this book!!! In addition, I don’t know the town of Gouda is famous for its delicious cheese. However, in my opinion, the reason is that I don’t love cheese insanely.

Micky And Goofy Down Under：An Adventure In Australia ─ Analysis

　Micky and Goofy are protagonists. Sam, Dingo Dan, and Mr. Winsett are foil characters. The ways characters are revealed are "What the narrator says about the character" and "What the character actually does". The setting is integral. The narrative point of view is external subjective narrator. The plot is dramatic. The problem is that there is a food shortage for koalas, so Micky and Goofy have to find what the problem is, and then solve it. 

　First moral is "You have to solve the problem when you have a problem. Do not avoid or ignore it." Second moral is "Be helpful if you have the ability." The author use easy words, short sentences, and dialogue. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

　The reason that I choose this book is that I was attracted by Micky, so I think name is very important. The name of book presents the first sight, and it will decide whether the book is impressive or not. The beginning is that Micky and Goofy went to zoo to see koalas, but they found something wrong. I think this kind of theme is very close to children because children love animals and zoos. Therefore, they will be more interested in this book. Micky and Goofy go to Australia, find Dingo Dan, and help him to solve the problem. Finally, they go back, and children can enjoy seeing koalas. They don't have to worry that kolas have food shortage, and they cannot see koalas. Therefore, children can learn two things according this book. First, problem has to be solved, and do not avoid it. Second, helping others sometimes is a good thing, so children should not refuse to help others when they have ability. I think these two things are both important to children. All of the pictures in the book are colorful and exquisite, so I think children will like it. In the end of book, the author put some interesting pictures and essays to improve children's knowledge, and I think it is very helpful to children while they are learning language or knowledge. When children read the book which they are interested in, they won't be tired. What's more, they want more! Therefore, I think other authors can add some interesting information in the end of book, so children can learn more after read a book.
