Analyzing Childrens Stories

Kitty Wants a Box-

  • In this story, there is a cat looking for the perfect box; one is too big, one too tall, one too short and one too small, one is too wide and the other is perfect inside! I think this story shows that we all have troubles and get stressed out, but in the end we always end up with the perfect resolution. The cat could not find a suitable box, but at the end she was content with her final box. This does not only happen with cats but with humans too, we may go to the mall and never find a suitable shirt but eventually we fall in love with another shirt!
  • This story would be appealing to children because it's very simple, easy to read, cute, and has a happy ending. Children are attracted to things like cats, and happy endings, so considering there is a cat finding it's happy ending I'd expect this to be a fairly well liked book
Fruit Salad-
  • In this story, there is 4 fruits deciding what they want to do with themselves. The apple cannot decide; after a sad period of time he meets his old friends again and realizes that their careers didn't pursue too well either. They end up going together and living happily ever after. This story shows that we are all equal and if we let go of what we love, if its meant to be it will come back. Even through sad periods of time we should realize that eventually we will have our happy ending, and this story shows that. After all, in order to ride off into the sunset you've got to drive on the bumpy road.
  • Children will like this story because of it's meaning. Children gravitate to cute stories with characters like fruits and who doesn't like a happy ending? This story has a deep meaning that children may not directly understand but it'll stick in the back of their minds.
Buzzy Bee
  • In this story, Buzzy Bee cannot resist the flowers. He ends up getting plenty of nectar from them and then swells up, his fellow bee friends come to save him. Buzzy Bee gave into the temptation and ended up embarrassed and hopeless. This story shows that giving in to temptation comes with consequences. If you do something that you know deep down isn't right, then there will be a punishment! 
  • Children will enjoy this story because it is comical. The bee made a stupid decision and ended up swelling all up and getting saved. This is funny to children because often embarrassment is comical, especially when it's an embarrassed bee.

How To Handle Thin Hair

How To Handle Thin Hair


Thin hair can result in microscopic buns after hours of trying, bobby pins falling out, being able to curl or straighten your hair in ten minutes, and flyaway (baby) hairs EVERYWHERE! Does your hair fall flatly on your head? When you put your hair in a bun or ponytail is the elastic required to wrap around about 6 times? Is your hair so thin that a mere ten minutes can be enough to prepare your hair for a ball? If so, this article is for you!


Step 1: Shampoo for thin hair
With frail hair it is very hard to choose a particular shampoo. The brand, type and amount can depend all on your level of oil, your volume, shine, softness, etc. If you have dry, thin hair and you want luscious, bouncy volume you could use “Herbal Essences Touchably Smooth” shampoo or “Dove Daily Moisture” shampoo. If you have flat, unpleasant hair  “Aussie Aussome Volume” would help you. “Ion Thickening Shampoo” from Sallys is for you if you have thin annoying hair! If your hair is dry, yet oily, shineless, and flat you should use “Mane n Tail” shampoo.

Step 2: How to casually wear your hair
Going to school, going shopping, or other casual events. How to style your thin, frail hair? With a casual outfit you could straighten your hair or put it in a bun or ponytail. First you need to know how to properly wear messy buns, ponytails, and straight hair.

Step 3: How to style a ponytail, bun or straight hair
Messy bun- To master the messy look just pull your hair up, throw it in a messy bun, bobby pin some pieces down and finish it off by pulling some pieces loose.

Ponytail- Comb your hair up into your ideal ponytail, bobby pin flyaways down, and just go! Who cares what anyone thinks, if your hair is comfortable on your head that’s all that matters!
Straight hair- First, use your ideal shampoo. Get a good, expensive straightener from Sallys or your hairdresser and plug it in! When your straightener gets steaming hot, you’re ready! Take a small section of your hair and pin the rest back, straighten the part thats down then repeat until finished. Style as desired.

Step 4: How to style your hair for fancy event
With thin hair, we are forced to either get our hair done by the hairdresser for fancy events or style an updo! Sadly, thin hair often doesn’t stay curled, and falls out of an updo. To keep your thin fragile hair curled I suggest using a heat protection cream first. After purchasing an expensive, good quality curling iron from Sallys or your hairdresser, curl your hair and set it with a good firm-hold hairspray.
If you’re more interested in an updo, follow those steps, but pin it all up into a loose or tight bun, whichever you desire. Set with plenty of firm-hold hairspray.









Step 5: LET LOOSE!
The most important thing to do with thin hair is to not care! Style your hair however you desire and let loose! Be yourself and style your gorgeous locks!

I chose the article "How To Be Happy When You Have Nothing" to review. I chose this article because it relates to my beliefs, I believe in being happy with what you have. The only thing I have to diss is the title of this article; you always have something! your hair, your fingers, your legs, your cloths, your family, your heart. If I could, I would change the title of this article to "How To Be Happy For No Reason" This article is very accurate and holds many helpful tips, it is very important and I think many people should inspect it. It is very helpful and useful to the everyday life. 

Something I think that should be added to the rubric would be: "This article uses descriptive words and describes the subject greatly"
