Criticizing and Analyzing the Narrative Elements in a Selection of Children’s Stories

Author

Abstract

This article, after its introduction about a selection of twenty Children stories, studies the most important narrative elements such as plot, character, theme, viewpoint, atmosphere and setting in them. These stories have simple plots and apart from one with two sequences, all the other stories experience one sequence. The characters are one dimensional, allegorical and static. The stories, through images and words, present a histrionic atmosphere which is conventional and moves towards its happy ending.
