In an effort to make their homeschool classroom more cheerful, Aunt Judith orders several posters “with [p]ictures of panda bears, adorable raccoons, and fuzzy puppies spouting sweet, optimistic sayings” to hang on the walls (39). Although the posters are not really Edgar and Allan’s style, the boys do appreciate their aunt’s effort to encourage them.
- Do you have a favorite poster, sign, calendar page, post card, or other visual item that encourages or motivates you?
- What does it look like? What does it say? Where is it displayed? Why is it important to you?
Tell us all about your item! Be sure to use lots of descriptive details (colors, shapes, images, text, layout, and so forth), so your fellow TIPsters can visualize it.
