This story was very understandable and easy to follow, most likely due to the fact that the author has tried to write in simplistic fairy tale vocabulary, to add more meaning to this story. I was able to identify a few literary elements, including irony, where the author managed to feature an ironic ending to the story. I also managed to pick out allusion, in which the author made a small, yet effective comparison to the security at concentration camps and the security of the neighbourhood in the story.
“It was the ugliest but the most honest in its suggestion of the pure concentration-camp style, no frills, all evident efficacy.”
My strengths in story analysis and comprehension is, understanding the characters and describing their personalities, as well as finding meaning with the setting in stories. I am able to visualize and relate the piece of text to things I know and information around me. Although, some areas in which I need to improve upon is, understanding a wider range of literary elements. As well as keeping my eyes out, literary elements, more often. I also need to make more connections and evaluate readings with more depth and precision.
