Analyzing Children Stories

The first children story I read was "The Farm Animals." The main character(s) in this story is the farm animals. There isn't any dialogue in the story because farm animals usually don't talk but their is a narrator who reads the story. The narrator helps describe the story and bring feeling and more imagination to the story. There wasn't necessarily a conflict. The story was just describing the farm animals and what they do and the sounds they make.

Another children story I read was "Pirates Treasure." The main character in this story was the little boy named Jimmy. He is a young boy with blonde hair who was dreaming about a pirate and treasure in his back yard. There is dialogue in his dream where the pirate is telling him where the treasure is in his backyard. This dialogue helps describe the story because there is also a narrator who is reading the story and you can hear the pirates voice in the story which brings the story to life. The conflict in this story is when Jimmy didn't find any treasure only his dog Woofy's bone. I think young children could understand the conflict because they would be upset when they're reading along and find out there is no treasure. The conflict is resolved when Jimmy's mom gives him $5 for digging the whole because she wanted to plant something there, The message/lesson would be to believe in what you dream at night because they may come true.

The third children story I read was "The Bitaba Bird." The main character of this story was the Bitaba Bird which is a fake bird that flies around the sky. There isn't any dialogue in this story but once again there was a narrator who brought the story more to life and helped you imagine the story happening. The conflict would be how there was a bad lighting storm that was scary. It had a good ending though because more Bitaba Birds were hatched. I don't really think children would understand this conflict because they probably wouldn't even realize it was a conflict because the birds were hatching. This story was a good learning story because it gives good information on the Bitaba Bird even though it isn't real.

These 3 stories weren't very similar. "The Farm Animals" story and "The Bitaba Bird" story were kind of similar because they're both referring to animals. These 3 stories are different because they all have a different theme and message. They are all very good entertaining children stories.

These 3 stories are appealing to young children because they are interesting, entertaining and imaginable. "The Farm Animals" story is educational because it helps children learn their animal sounds and about the animals.
