3. The mood of the story is very depressing, gloomy and mysterious and the author shows this by using dark colours and facial expressions on the girl.

2. The author built interest across the story by making you think about the pictures and words and what the meaning behind them was, like on  one of the pages where it says "wonderful things are passing by".
3. The mood of the story is dark and lonely, the author has established that by the colours, the facial expressions on the characters and the character's actions.
4. The illustrations help the reader understand the story better because if there is no illustrations and just words the reader will need ages to work out the meaning behind it.

I think on the page when she is trapped in the bottle i think it means she is trapped in her feeling also I think the red leaf on every page represents happiness.

2. I think he made it interesting because we didn't know what the red tree was until the very end.

3. I think  the mood of the story is dark and gloomy because the  illustrator uses browns ,black, grey and slowly introducing colour.

4.I think the illustrations help the words tell a story because in a picture story book you can't have the images  without the words.

5. I think the character could of spoke . ]]> 2018-09-13 23:04:57 UTC https://padlet.com/demi_tws/106u6gav8mtf/wish/281087080 JAMES https://padlet.com/demi_tws/106u6gav8mtf/wish/281087133 1.The author used symbolism with the ]]> 2018-09-13 23:05:05 UTC https://padlet.com/demi_tws/106u6gav8mtf/wish/281087133 Tatijana https://padlet.com/demi_tws/106u6gav8mtf/wish/281087150 1. the author put a red leaf on every page and at the end there was a big red tree.
2. the author made it interesting because he drew things that were impossible to happen in real life like the big fish over the girl and a big red tree in her room.
3. sad and gloomy. The colours are dark and the look on the girls face in most of the book is sad.
4. the illustrations help us readers understand it better because he shows that the girl is sad and lonely.
5. he could have made the girl happy by putting a red tree at the start and it dies and then grow another tree.  ]]> 2018-09-13 23:05:12 UTC https://padlet.com/demi_tws/106u6gav8mtf/wish/281087150 shaana https://padlet.com/demi_tws/106u6gav8mtf/wish/281087181 1. on every page there was a red leaf that gave us a clue about what might happen at the end. when i saw the leaf on every page, at first i didn't think much about it, but when i read it another time, i saw what the author was trying to hint us about.

2. the author built  interest by drawing unrealistic stuff like the huge, giant flying fish in the sky, witch made no sense to me at all, but then i realised that it meant the girl is feeling gloomy and dark. she was also trapped in a bottle witch is impossible, so that made me want to read on to see why the author decided to draw that.  

3. the mood of the story is very dense and dark, i think that because the author all throughout the story, except the last page, he used very dark and gloomy colors, such as browns and greys and blacks. i think the author chose those colors because he wanted to express how the main character was feeling.

4.yes, the illustrations did help me understand the story more, because without the illustrations i would have thought something else, for example when i read the page, the world is a deaf machine, i wouldn't have known how to answer that, or i wouldn't have had an idea of what to think of as i was reading the page.

5. the character could have behaved differently by not always looking on the negatives, such as, when she woke up she said that some days there's nothing to look forward to, but in every day there is something fun and entertaining if you really do want something to happen. but because she kept on looking at the negatives, and not the positives, she missed out on the magical sky, and maybe that's why the author drew a lock that said 'regret' maybe because she regrets not making the most of the day, and that there was something to look forward to at the end.

2.one example in the story is when she is trapped in the bottle and i think the author was trying to interest us into thinking about how she might be feeling.
3. the mood of the story is very dense and dark and full of sad and miserable feelings, i think the author tried to show this by using lots of dark and depressing colours in the pictures.
4. i think at first when we only saw the pictures we didn't really understand what the authors message was, but then when we read the story we understood it more and we where thinking more in depth.
5.i think they could have behaved differently by not feeling sad and depressed all the time and being exited about the day not missing out on the fun stuff that are happening, i think that she should behave more happily and make the most out of her day because we only have one life and we need to have as much fun as we can.   ]]> 2018-09-13 23:06:53 UTC https://padlet.com/demi_tws/106u6gav8mtf/wish/281087378 Martin https://padlet.com/demi_tws/106u6gav8mtf/wish/281087379 1.There was a red leaf on every page.
