ENG2614 Assignment 1 (COMPLETE ANSWERS) Semester 1 2025 - DUE 2 May 2025; 100% correct solutions and explanations. QUESTIONS. Please read the short story, “Don’t Laugh in Bungelos Street”, written by Andrea Kaczmarek and illustrated by Sergii Shkoliar, by using this link, and then respond to the following assignment questions and prompts. 1. Write a short essay (1200 to 1500 words) based on this story in which you identify and discuss the narrative and stylistic elements found in the story. a. Start by discussing the more basic elements, such as setting, characterisation, point of view, and plot, before trying to discuss the theme of the story. (Hint: You can use the discussion questions at the end of the story on the Storyberries website to help you with this thematic aspect of your essay.) b. Consider the stylistic aspects of any parts of the story in order to discuss at least three uses of figurative language. c. You are also allowed to comment on some of the illustrations, but this is not strictly necessary, and if you do comment on the illustrations, please clearly indicate which illustration(s) you are referring to by saying which part of the text comes before or after the picture(s) you are discussing. Ensure that the images you select relate back to the text. (60 marks) 2. The beginning of Kaczmarek’s story indicates that this is a “dark retelling of the famous fairy tale, the Pied Piper of Hamelin”. There are several versions of this fairy tale, with some famous ones being this poem by the Victorian poet, Robert Browning, and Sir Terry Pratchett’s 4 | P a g e The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents (2001). Discuss how you might adapt the fairy tale yourself, but in a retelling that you consider more suitable for a South African, Intermediate Phase classroom. a. You do not have to retell or rewrite the whole story, but you do need to consider what narrative elements you might change in order to make it more suitable for such a group of South African learners. You can rewrite parts of the story to illustrate what you would change, but the main part of your response to this question needs to be a discussion of what you would change and why you think this would make the story more suited for such a South African classroom. For this question, please write an essay of about 800 to 1200 words. (40 marks) 3. Bonus! Paste a screenshot of your response to the “Book Club with a Difference” Padlet activity at the end of your assignment for five bonus marks. (Note that you cannot score more than 100 marks in total for this assignment.) (5 marks) (Total: 100 marks)
