Stories are told to be remembered, either verbally or written down. Stories are often passed down from generation to generation. It can be a single event or multiple events, such as in, A Midsummer Nights Dream. Stories can be fiction or non-fiction. They can have a deeper meaning then just what we hear or read that can be emphasized by characters, artifacts, and details such as color or numbers. Artifacts are objects that symbolize or represent an idea. For the drawing class we had to pick five artifacts that were to represent our life or times we remember in our life from our past. In A Midsummer Nights Dream the love flower was an artifact also the bicycle. In my fairy tale, The Seven Ravens, the daughter took a ring with her that belonged to their parents and used it to let her brothers know who she was. the artifact I will make for Friday will be a ring. Multi-views are many different stories put together and also the views from the different characters. In A Midsummers Night Dream there are several stories happening; the duke getting married, the four lovers, the fairies and the indian boy, and then Bottom's play. Cycle is a process in history. You have probably heard that history repeats itself. When we reuse things or remodel a building it is a cycle. Also, things that were in style when your grandparents were young or even in older generations have come back in style. It is all a big cycle. Translation is when some story is then turned into a new form of the story, either by language or by a different characters view. In A Midsummers Night Dream Bottom is changed during his dream state into a donkey. He is view by others as arrogant when he is awake or human, but in his dream his friends run from him and the fairy is in love with him because she had been touched by the flower liquid. The images below help to illustrate the words for this week:
