Style: I enjoyed the book because of the life lessons it includes and because of the simplicity of the text. They bully others to try and make themselves feel better, which is cruel. I also found it sad, how the boy got bullied because his father was not present in his life. This book just shows and proves how man’s word is not as valuable as it used to be. The son could have gotten hurt or killed in one of the obstacles. I thought it was sad how the father made his son prove to him if he really was his son. The cover art impresses me, I believe the book is going to be about a mythical story about the powers of the sun.Īfter reading: The story was very interesting. Prediction: When I first saw the book, I immediately thought about Native Americans. What I found so striking about Sin City was not only its film noir and style, but its narrative. That being said, when the producers decided to turn the comics into a film, the story board was half way done, and as that is essentially what a comic book is. A comic book has to be selective, and is almost a story board of a narrative, hence each section of each strip is significant. Comic books are unlike films, where all the action can be presented frame by frame. The final product is a magazine filled with strips of action, segmented into smaller frames marking significant moments in the narrative. The words that make the story are accompanied by pictures which present the action taking place.

Cut from this somewhat idyllic scene to Eloise dashing around the place doing a variety of tricks and singing a silly song that goes something like 'Fa la la la fa la la lolly tingledy here and there. The story begins quite promisingly on Christmas Eve with a blizzard raging outside and Eloise lounging in front of a blazing log fire with her Nanny, Skipperdee her turtle and Weenie her dog at The Plaza. As Hilary Knight's illustrations are excellent that would be unfair although Kay Thompson's text is at times rather wishy-washy and banal and at other times quite amusing. It could be said that 'Eloise at Christmastime' falls between two stools but that would perhaps be being a little too unkind for the literal meaning of the phrase usually implies that the object fails to fit into either of two categories.
