For my podcast I will be talking about the book My Abuelita by Tony Johnson. This book is about a boy’s grandmother getting ready for her day. I think I’ll talk about each interpretive stance and what I think about the book. To give you a sample,
I would say metaphorically this book reminded me of my friend who was raised by her grandmother.
Philosophically I think it teaches you there are all different kinds of families.
Aesthetically I felt amused at the grandmothers antics.
Analytically the images are slightly alien making it easier to relate to any family, not just a Hispanic one.
Intertextually it reminded me of
Critically it positioned me to feel enamored by the grandmother.
I would go into more depth on each one but that is how I am going to structure my podcast. I also want to talk about the unusual illustrations.
