Involuntary Memory "Estrellita the Little Wishing Star"

Hollaaaa! How's your day guys? I always hope good!

Okay at this time we will discuss about involuntary memory.

What is involuntary memory? Involuntary memory is like nostalgia or De Javu, for example when you see the rain, you will immediately remember the memorable events when the rain came, such as shelter with a partner when it rains, want to eat Indomie or the fun of playing rain with your friends as a child.
You got it? I hope yes.

Okay I will give you some example by using some story.  " Estrellita the Little Wishing Star " story and illustration by May M. Tobias.

 I choose this story? Because this is definitely familiar with your childhood and certainly this story is related to our topic today, Involuntary memory.

I will tell you the summary about “Estrellita the Little Wishing Star "

In this story, it is told there is a small star who really wants to be a star of hope because his grandmother said that a good star should be a star of hope. (Why did I say that because there was a ribbon on the little star) and once he saw a boy who had the saddest pair of eyes he had ever seen, he wanted to be a star of hope for that child, but he always failed to get his attention because the light he emitted was lacking shine than other stars. The way he had to do it to shine so bright was to spin very fast, faster than other stars. But there is a risk that he will get, that is when hope comes true, the hope star will die. At that moment he hesitated, but he is still wanted to continue to help the sad boy. When he arrived in front of the boy's window, he did what he had to do, which was spinning as fast as possible to emit an extraordinary light, the boy saw it, and he made a request. Soon the request was granted and the boy was very pleased.

So why this story can be involuntary memory?
Because when we were little, if we see the stars that are very shining or falling stars it is not uncommon for your parents say to make a request then maybe your request will be granted. Well maybe until now if you see a shooting star or the most shining star, you will spontaneously make a request right? That is what is meant by Involuntary memory or retrieval involuntary memory (RIM). Recalling the past event when we see a similar event.

That's all the information about Involuntary memory that I can give to you  readers of my blog. Sorry if there are still many shortcomings, if you still do not understand or want to ask, please ask your question in the comments column yes!

Analyze Cool Kid - Like Me!

Holla!
Welcome back in my blog!

In this time I will discuss the meaning of some colors and objects in the picture on page 14 of a book called Cool Kid — Like Me! By Hans Wilhelm, an American-German writer.

On page 14 we can see a boy conversing (the teddy bear looks at the boy) with his teddy bear, with an atmosphere of fear or anxiety expressed by the boy's face coupled with a soft black background. The picture also shows that the boy and bear are under a soft pink blanket. Pink is a color that means tenderness, affection, and friendship. And why a blanket? Because the blanket is a symbol of comfort when in a situation of fear or anxiety.

So the conclusion, there is a boy who is sharing his anxiety with the bear, described by the child's expression, under a comfortable blanket.

This book really good for your children start from the story and then the animation.

A Little Thief in the Pantry

Hola guys! How's your day? I hope always have a good day :)

This is the first time i wrote a blog, so I'm sorry if there many mistake.

OK! I want to share about the story that I have read. Im enjoy when i reading this story, "A Little Thief in the Pantry" 

It is the collection A Christmast Hamper: A Volume of pictures and stories for little folks, published in 1888 by T.Nelson and Sons by various unattributed authors. I think this story is very educational for children, with language that is easy enough to help you understand it quickly.

So this story begins with the conversation of a mouse child and its mother about a good human who always leaves food for them. 

"MOTHER dear,” said a little mouse one day, “I think the people in our house must be very kind; don’t you? They leave such nice things for us in the larder.”

The mouse mother begins to advise her to be always vigilant and warn her not to go alone except with her, but her son, Gray Whiskers, feels he can take care of himself. 

"Greywhiskers twitched his tail with scorn; he was quite sure he knew how to take care of himself, and he didn’t mean to trot meekly after his mother’s tail all his life".

When her mother takes a nap, Gray tries to steal from the kitchen then she sees a cake and takes a bite of the cake which is a birthday cake belonging to the little Miss Ethel. When he heard his mother calling, he ran back to the nest. The mother invited Gray to go to the pantry, she saw a small bite in a cake, and she looked upset because there was another mouse in the house even though the one who bit the cake was her own son. 

“Some mouse has evidently been here before us,” she said, but of course she never guessed that it was her little son. "

In this section there is an implied meaning which is to obey the advice given by your parents if you don't want bad things to happen. Okay back to the story. The next day the rat child returned to the kitchen to steal something while his mother was sleeping, but he did not find food there but the smell of grilled cheese. Here he was trapped in a mouse trap. The cheese is placed in the trap, so gray is trapped inside. The next morning the cook saw that a mouse had been trapped and told Ms this. Ethel that this rat had eaten his cake. The cook wanted to punish the rat by drowning it. But because a little girl has a soft heart she releases gray from the trap, and Gray immediately runs fast toward her mother. 

"You didn't know it was stealing, did you, dear Mousie" She said. Cook's back was turned for a moment, and At that moment the tenderhearted little Ethel lifted the lid of the trap, and popped Mousie out. "

This is the part that in my opinion is very educational because indirectly little girl Ethel forgives gray the naughty little mouse biting her cake. Overall, this story can be one of the stories that you can read to your children aged 3 - 5 years because this story teaches your children love one another and be obedient to parents by using an interesting character, a mouse. So, that's all the experience as well as the analysis that I can give to friends who are reading, if there are criticisms and suggestions please type it in the comment's column! Thanks.
