Group Discussion Big Mooncake and Beekle Ideas by Branson Zieger https://padlet.com/995625/iv4c632dww8mv5w6 en-us 2025-04-02 17:46:33 UTC 2025-04-02 18:04:18 UTC hello@padlet.com Character Development: How did the images change or enhance your understanding of the characters (e.g., Beekle’s journey or Little Star’s actions)? https://padlet.com/995625/iv4c632dww8mv5w6/wish/3393139906 I got a sense of happiness from the Beekle story that I didn’t get from just the text alone.

In the Mooncake story, the characters were humanoid, which wasn't what I was expecting. I thought they would be stars and stuff

We all were able to discuss our ideas and collaborate thoughtfully in order to come up with an answer for each of the questions.

Did they change your feelings about certain moments (e.g., Beekle’s loneliness or Little Star’s mischief)? https://padlet.com/995625/iv4c632dww8mv5w6/wish/3393141747 There was a tone of grandeur in the Beekle book that I didn’t get from the text. The big colorful panels made the imaginary world feel more whimsical. I also liked the tone that was set up in the children's park.


In the Mooncake story, there was an empty tone that focused on the mother and daughter more.

For Example, in Beekle's story, the use of color shows how his emotions change throughout the story.

I just visualized the girl as just a cartoon girl

I visualized the mom and daughter as stars, nothing crazy

This is quite a difference, and greatly impacts the characters as a whole (non-person vs. person).

The pictures expressions also told us how much of an emotion a character was experiencing, based on how wide they smiled or how low they frowned.
