Author+Illustrator+Assignment

Our Paper

Note: We have chosen a serious author and most of his his books reflect on the motifs of estrangement, loneliness, and insecurity. 'The Diamond Tree' calls for an insider's view of the Jewish traditions. The illustrations are supportive if the reader has some background knowledge about the cultural/religious conventions of the Jewish people. The Golden Goose deals with the folk lore from the Grimm's Tales and this book also calls for prior knowledge of that particular culture. However, the illustrations are the artist's own style and this book uses a lot of geometrical shapes. and loud colours to bring home the point of what real is as against unreal in life.
