Bobby is having a hard time at school, so he spends some time relaxing in the park. His goal was to forget about his school issues, until he comes face to face with his "monster," his teacher Ms. Kirby. He decides that he might as well give it a try and talk to Ms. Kirby. They end up spending the rest of the day together and Bobby realizes that his teacher may not be a monster after all.
Visual Element and Evaluative: Shape and Characters
In Peter Brown's story, we can see his use of shape within the characters and setting. From the way Ms. Kirby is dressed in the triangles and squares to the round hills in the park the shapes set the stage from harsh beginnings to beautiful endings. The shapes accentuate the characters involved. We being with out shy main character and his monsterish villain Ms. Kirby who transitions as the story ends. They both grow into what they seemed at the start.
