QUESTION 1
1.1.
Frame seven of the story The Man Who Never Lied uses simple and soft visuals that are
likely to appeal to children below the age of six. The colours are bright but not
overwhelming—featuring gentle earth tones and soft pastels that create a calm, friendly
mood. These colours are commonly used in early childhood materials as they attract
attention without overstimulating the young viewer. The characters are drawn with large
heads and expressive faces, a visual style that helps children easily identify emotions and
follow the story's mood. The illustrations are not overly detailed, which is appropriate for
younger children who process visual information better when it is presented in a simple,
uncluttered way. In frame seven, the visual supports the narrative by showing the wise man
in action—bowing respectfully—while also giving clues about the story’s setting (the palace),
helping children follow the events even if they are not yet fluent readers. The artwork
enhances comprehension by visually representing key actions and characters, which makes
the story more accessible and engaging for young children.

1.2.
The Man Who Never Lied is best described as a legend rather than a myth because
it focuses on the life and actions of a wise human being named Mamad, not on gods
or supernatural beings. Unlike myths—which often explain the origins of life, nature,
or spiritual beliefs through divine or magical characters—this story is set in a real-
world context involving a king, a palace, and everyday social events. Mamad is
portrayed as a truthful and wise man who lived among people, and his honesty
earned him great respect, even from those ―who lived twenty days away‖. This
shows he was a human character whose actions were remembered and passed
down through storytelling, just like other legends about historical or cultural heroes.
One of the main features that makes this story a legend is that it teaches a moral
lesson through the actions of a mortal. When the king tries to trick Mamad into lying
to the queen, Mamad gives a clever, truthful answer: ―Maybe the king will come, and
maybe he won’t‖ . This wisdom and cleverness in the face of a moral test reflect
human greatness, not supernatural power. Also, the story takes place in a specific,
