M'Alicias Book of Task

Miguel Miguel Calatayud Obiols and are the creators of one of the albums Children's literature more representative of the twentieth century, The Book of M'Alicias. album is an experimental and surreal, she recreates the story of the famous Lewis Carroll's Alice in a tone in which raw humor, fantasy, nonsense, criticism society ...
response to the external organization, the book is divided into twelve short stories that have no relationship. That is, it is not necessary to follow a linear sequential read and address all of the work, but you can just open the album on a page and start reading. The artwork and writing have a very formal and artistic quality, and on certain occasions, the reader has the feeling that the drawings attached to the words become movement. In terms of language, of avant-garde could catalog it, as it is presented in a crazy and irrational as a whole achieving a beautiful style.
Centrándonos en las historietas, en cada una de ellas se muestra a una Alicia desobediente que huye de las normas sociales y reclama con vehemencia la fantasía y la libertad. Recorriendo sus páginas se plantean cuestiones relacionadas con el ideal de belleza femenino; la falta de libertad; la incomunicación de las familias; la fuerza y el poder de los libros; críticas al mundo de la televisión en el que sólo vomitan porquerías; críticas a la ausencia de imaginación y al modo tradicional de enseñanza...
Personalmente, una de las escenas que más ha captado mi atención se centra en el tratamiento de Alicia como si fuera un objeto, al cual sus parents care but do not listen. We present below so you can see what I mean:

have just run over to Alice. Has been flattened like a cake.
- Oh, but how stupid I am!
Bill, the local police, the wound like a mat, picks it up and puts it under his arm. Alicia
try their noses because the guard underarm sweat oozing, but can not even frown. Luckily soon come home. The mother thanked Bill and Alicia deals. The unrolled, shakes, washed with dry foam, the wipes and put straight on the couch to rest. Then turn on the TV. Alicia swells
increases in volume and feel.


Regarding educational use, it might be interesting to use the book to any high school course to make comparisons between traditional stories and their subsequent rewrites, and even, could also be used in 4 º ESO to see actual samples of the language of art and relate it to the era of art which is addressed in this course.
In short, I recommend reading it because I think it is a work for all audiences, not just for children, with which you can enjoy thanks to their madness and especially his humor.

practice pre-reading activities:
What do you suggest the title 's book Pigs ? Imagine what can happen? What do you think it will focus the action? Who are the players?

fellow
Any ideas?
See if this image is sharpen the senses:



Joking aside and start leaving this aside, we are fully immersed in the artist and album of the English author Anthony Browne whose title was already mentioned in above lines: Book of Pigs. Under the cloak of a children's publication, a simple and concise narrative lies a moral message that we could bring to the classroom.

Why a child crying mom always calls?
why when you do not find something in the cupboard you go to Mama?
why when you go to for advice cooking mama?
why when you're unwell mother care?

sure more of a situation you feel identified, and if not, I'm glad for it, meaning in this statement that domestic work is distributed in the home. The mother, an old historical journey, has borne the brunt of the family, has been the cornerstone of the family structure, as it represents the last image inserted. A voice suddenly remember those ads where the woman presumed to have a pan to make the comidita her husband or boasted of a strong vacuum that allowed him to have everything clean when her husband got home. Although Fortunately, this view increasingly disintegrates, there remain many examples of this exploited women's work: Nin @ s that wait for their mother make the bed, I set the table, they serve food, collect them tackle ... Without doubt, this is an issue that constantly circles the world and that much would have to say.

This is the vision that the author wants to reflect in his work, what if the mother figure disappeared from home a few days overworked? This is the situation the author posed and to which men and little men, rather, the pigs in the house do not know how to react. Its existence is sinking without it, the house becomes a pigsty and scream it from the rooftops: BACK PLEASE!


The question now is whether to work in the classroom with this album. From my point of view I would say yes, but not in high school, also, but since the early stages. Good manners are acquired as children and it is easier to get used from small tasks. In this line it does criticize the inclusion of the word "help" on the album, I'll explain my vision. The husband has to help the children do not have to help her mother, not all tienen que COLABORAR. La familia es un equipo y como tal cada uno debe desempeñar un papel, si hablamos de ayudar a mamá seguimos dejando el peso en la figura materna, así, apuesto por el reparto de tareas.

Sí, madre solo hay una, hay que cuidarla.

The man dressed all in gray - Fernando Alonso

El hombrecito vestido de gris reúne la colección de ocho cuentos breves cuya temática fantástica rebasa los límites de la realidad para transmitir un mensaje que atañe por igual tanto a los niños como a los mayores. Los relatos dispuestos en la obra de Fernando Alonso comparten common criteria and repeat a series of recurring themes with which the adult identifies himself despite being treated from the ingenious child's perspective, since the problems that go beyond just prologue to all ages. However, in these simple stories there is always a way out of optimism, because in the event of a concern, the conflict ends fixed with a happy ending.

characters displayed in the plot are often oppressed by a series of heinous injustices and inequalities that denied freedom to act autonomously and will. Overthrow authoritarianism prevents them develop as individuals is precisely the dream that achieve, a desire that materializes during the transition and that, after all, dethroned the despotism that afflicts them and tortures them. On the mold of hope, each of the protagonists build unshakable illusion that not even the Guardian Tower or any other nefarious enemy is able to overcome. As if it were a game that circumvents the censorship, the scatter about these events seek to manifest openly and frankly with a message full of confidence, as opposed to the aforementioned intolerance experienced over the years in the country.

tales The man dressed in gray are consolidated as a work unit, ie, despite the slight differences between them, the fact is that the eight stories form a mosaic in which you can check the side view of a society that had to endure the harsh consequences and hardship an unfortunate war, but the message of protest implicit display requires an effort of interpretation by the reader to understand in its entirety. This is where under the seemingly innocuous aspect of the argument, possibly because of its candid portrait is glimpsed an implicit criticism that alleges that any hint of tyranny and taxation.

Anyway, there is no doubt that the young inexperienced end offering a cursory reading of the story, focused simply on the adventure and its resolution, but a reader much more mature and more aware of the world can uncover and unravel the secrets that really want to reflect Fernando Alonso. The child's perspective (or naive, depending on the lens through which you look) with the work in question does not prevent the receiver perform text reflect and learn a number of fundamental moral and ethical values \u200b\u200bin society today such as coexistence, solidarity, teamwork and humility.

In Book of Memories

Dear Colleagues, Internet, I am about to make a contribution on the Book of tears Pere Ginard publisher Anaya, Madrid, 2002. This album (says on the back of it) belongs to soup books.

The author is a young Spaniard for 35 years but with a dense academic training: Bachelor of Fine Arts, writer and filmmaker dedicated to literary creation which are public, especially children. His work has been recognized with two awards.

Book of tears is almost an elegy to the drop of salt out of our eyes to a situation that is overflowing and we can not control. Who has ever wept?, Who does not the felt run down their cheeks?. It seems that the teardrop is insignificant, but this author does not go unnoticed.

The way we started this album is simple and full of sensitivity:

There are many types of tears.

(...) Tears sting like lemon juice or soft

, like candy.

But all are salty, as if we had a small sea within. Look at the

synesthesia and similes in just 3 lines.

Then our author explains with a sentence that is located to the left of the illustration (his drawings are of their own harvest, as he says: "When everyone is asleep I am artist") that occupies much of the page, the time in which the child can break to mourn: "When someone says goodbye, lost in the streets, afraid was scared because someone sneezes, the rays take over their small pupils, either afraid of monsters, wind noise ... "

The album can be read only looking for pictures and would know what it is.

drawings, phrases, invite reflection of the child (best if read with the help of the teacher, father, mother ...) Who is going to feel very identified with the facts encourage you to mourn, as children cry a lot. This album could be understood by any child of 5, 6. Once the reading we could ask: Do you cry in this situation? How do you feel when you weeping? Better?, Worst?, Are you afraid of monsters?, Are you sleeping well?, Are you afraid to brew your room? ... Anyway ... So many questions that, through reading, give play to meet that "adult" in power, that is the child.
