Antho\u00adny Browne is a pic\u00adture book mas\u00adter who is cur\u00adrent\u00adly gain\u00ading pop\u00adu\u00adlar\u00adi\u00adty in the world. He firm\u00adly believes that he is a pic\u00adture book cre\u00adator, in oth\u00ader words, nei\u00adther a pure writer nor a pure painter.<\/p>\n

Its seem\u00ading\u00adly unre\u00adal\u00adis\u00adtic images, some\u00adtimes dreamy and some\u00adtimes eerie, are filled with sug\u00adges\u00adtive sym\u00adbols and exag\u00adger\u00adat\u00aded asso\u00adci\u00ada\u00adtions, some\u00adtimes pro\u00advok\u00ading con\u00adtem\u00adpla\u00adtion and some\u00adtimes elic\u00adit\u00ading laugh\u00adter. This remark\u00adable effect is large\u00adly due to his mas\u00adtery of shape-based play since child\u00adhood. How\u00adev\u00ader, his immense suc\u00adcess in pic\u00adto\u00adr\u00adi\u00adal expres\u00adsion has some\u00adwhat over\u00adshad\u00adowed Antho\u00adny\u2019s ambi\u00adtions and achieve\u00adments in the lit\u00ader\u00adary realm. He repeat\u00aded\u00adly empha\u00adsizes his iden\u00adti\u00adty as a pic\u00adture book cre\u00adator, per\u00adhaps to remind every\u00adone: Don\u2019t for\u00adget that words are an inte\u00adgral part of pic\u00adture books, and I\u2019m also very skilled in this area!<\/p>\n The first book by Antho\u00adny I encoun\u00adtered was *Voic\u00ades in the Park* (trans\u00adlat\u00aded as *When Naip\u00ading Meets Naip\u00ading* in the Tra\u00addi\u00adtion\u00adal Chi\u00adnese edi\u00adtion of Tai\u00adwan). At the time, I was a com\u00adplete novice, brows\u00ading through Eng\u00adlish book\u00adstores in Hong Kong look\u00ading for pic\u00adture books to start with. I was drawn in by the large for\u00admat and vibrant, warm cov\u00ader, and picked it up casu\u00adal\u00adly, read\u00ading it in one sit\u00adting. On my first read, I felt I under\u00adstood the book. Lat\u00ader, I learned it might be one of Antho\u00adny\u2019s most dif\u00adfi\u00adcult works to under\u00adstand. Look\u00ading back, I real\u00adize I over\u00adlooked many details in the illus\u00adtra\u00adtions, only grasp\u00ading the text and the nar\u00adra\u00adtive struc\u00adture. Even so, I thought it was a tru\u00adly remark\u00adable book! If Antho\u00adny knew that a com\u00adplete novice had fall\u00aden in love with his pic\u00adture books after read\u00ading his words, would\u00adn\u2019t he be even more proud?<\/p>\n In fact, it was in this work that I read anoth\u00ader work I deeply love \u2014 The Sound and the Fury by Amer\u00adi\u00adcan writer William Faulkn\u00ader. To this day, I still think that there is a sur\u00adpris\u00ading sim\u00adi\u00adlar\u00adi\u00adty between these two seem\u00ading\u00adly unre\u00adlat\u00aded works, although this sim\u00adi\u00adlar\u00adi\u00adty is like\u00adly just a coin\u00adci\u00addence.<\/p>\n First, both books employ a nar\u00adra\u00adtive struc\u00adture in which four dif\u00adfer\u00adent peo\u00adple tell the same sto\u00adry. This method itself is not nov\u00adel, but it is extreme\u00adly rare in chil\u00addren\u2019s books. Sec\u00adond\u00adly, the four char\u00adac\u00adters involved each have rough\u00adly the same length, and the events are clear\u00adly relat\u00aded, which real\u00adly makes peo\u00adple\u2019s imag\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion run wild.<\/p>\n The four char\u00adac\u00adters fea\u00adtured in \u201cThe Sound and the Fury\u201d are: the mud\u00addled, idi\u00adot\u00adic broth\u00ader Ben\u00adjy, the eldest broth\u00ader Quentin, who col\u00adlapsed and attempt\u00aded sui\u00adcide, the extreme\u00adly self\u00adish younger broth\u00ader Jason, and the healthy and strong old black maid Dilsey. The four char\u00adac\u00adters fea\u00adtured in \u201cA Voice in the Park\u201d are: the arro\u00adgant and rude moth\u00ader (Antho\u00adny says her name is Mrs. Smits) and her depressed son Charles, the unem\u00adployed blue-col\u00adlar father, and his ener\u00adgetic daugh\u00adter Ching-Ching.<\/p>\n Four char\u00adac\u00adters with vast\u00adly dif\u00adfer\u00adent iden\u00adti\u00adties and men\u00adtal states, told from four com\u00adplete\u00adly dif\u00adfer\u00adent per\u00adspec\u00adtives, nat\u00adu\u00adral\u00adly cre\u00adate a com\u00adplex nar\u00adra\u00adtive. How\u00adev\u00ader, under\u00adstand\u00ading the sto\u00adry is easy, as there is a com\u00admon thread. In \u201cThe Sound and the Fury,\u201d the true pro\u00adtag\u00ado\u00adnist is Katie, the three broth\u00aders\u2019 sis\u00adter. The sto\u00adry cen\u00adters on her unfor\u00adtu\u00adnate down\u00adfall and the sub\u00adse\u00adquent down\u00adfall of her entire fam\u00adi\u00adly. Faulkn\u00ader, deeply moved by her love for him, was reluc\u00adtant to allow her to speak on stage. In \u201cA Voice in the Park,\u201d how\u00adev\u00ader, the true pro\u00adtag\u00ado\u00adnist is the girl, Qingqing. Just look at the nar\u00adra\u00adtives of the oth\u00ader three char\u00adac\u00adters; she\u2019s the cen\u00adter of atten\u00adtion. Even the moth\u00ader, the noble\u00adwoman, hasti\u00adly leaves out of dis\u00adgust. In Antho\u00adny\u2019s mind, this girl must have been absolute\u00adly per\u00adfect, like an unbri\u00addled ray of sun\u00adshine, bring\u00ading warmth and bright\u00adness wher\u00adev\u00ader she passed.<\/p>\n http:\/\/landaishu.hi2net.com\/home\/upload20083\/20116237484421.jpg<\/a><\/p>\n What puz\u00adzles me, how\u00adev\u00ader, is the girl\u2019s Eng\u00adlish name: Smudge. It lit\u00ader\u00adal\u00adly means \u201cstain.\u201d How could it pos\u00adsi\u00adbly be a name, espe\u00adcial\u00adly for a girl? Did\u00adn\u2019t the boy, Charles, also say it was pecu\u00adliar? Was it a ran\u00addom name cho\u00adsen by the author? I imag\u00adine Antho\u00adny, who prides him\u00adself on his writ\u00ading, cer\u00adtain\u00adly did\u00adn\u2019t do it casu\u00adal\u00adly. Per\u00adhaps there\u2019s a cer\u00adtain iron\u00adic con\u00adtrast in this sto\u00adry: the lady\u2019s immac\u00adu\u00adlate man\u00adsion, the boy\u2019s room as neat as a hos\u00adpi\u00adtal ward, yet both are anx\u00adious, depressed, and inse\u00adcure. In con\u00adtrast, the girl, a blue-col\u00adlar work\u00ader in a clut\u00adtered apart\u00adment with a dirty name, is so healthy, hap\u00adpy, and full of life! Of course, this is just one pos\u00adsi\u00adble expla\u00adna\u00adtion.<\/p>\n http:\/\/landaishu.hi2net.com\/home\/upload20083\/201162374829383.jpg<\/a><\/p>\n Anoth\u00ader expla\u00adna\u00adtion could be pure coin\u00adci\u00addence. Faulkn\u00ader explic\u00adit\u00adly told read\u00aders that the idea for \u201cThe Sound and the Fury\u201d came from a sin\u00adgle image: a girl climb\u00ading a tree to peer through the win\u00addow of her home at a funer\u00adal. Her three broth\u00aders and the black boy stand beneath the tree, look\u00ading up at her pet\u00adti\u00adcoat, stained with mud (she had recent\u00adly been play\u00ading in the riv\u00ader). And in this pic\u00adture book, we see the pro\u00adtag\u00ado\u00adnist, the lit\u00adtle girl, high up in the tree, while the lit\u00adtle boy fol\u00adlows, mut\u00adter\u00ading the strange name \u201cstain.\u201d Coin\u00adci\u00addence, isn\u2019t it? Of course, in this sto\u00adry, it\u2019s the girl\u2019s dog, Albert, who jumps into the water.<\/p>\n There is anoth\u00ader deep\u00ader coin\u00adci\u00addence. It is worth men\u00adtion\u00ading that \u201cVoic\u00ades in the Park\u201d is a re-cre\u00adation of \u201cA Walk in the Park\u201d which was orig\u00adi\u00adnal\u00adly pub\u00adlished in 1977. http:\/\/landaishu.hi2net.com\/home\/upload20083\/20116237503125.jpg<\/a> Although *Voic\u00ades in the Park* is out of print, Antho\u00adny Faulkn\u00ader him\u00adself par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar\u00adly liked the sto\u00adry\u2019s con\u00adcept, but was\u00adn\u2019t entire\u00adly sat\u00adis\u00adfied with the orig\u00adi\u00adnal illus\u00adtra\u00adtions. So he redrawn them and changed the nar\u00adra\u00adtive style, hav\u00ading four char\u00adac\u00adters retell the sto\u00adry from dif\u00adfer\u00adent per\u00adspec\u00adtives. The new book was pub\u00adlished in 1998, renamed *Voic\u00ades in the Park*. The coin\u00adci\u00addence I\u2019m refer\u00adring to is that *Voic\u00ades* is sim\u00adi\u00adlar to *Sound* in *The Sound and the Fury*, both mean\u00ading \u201csound.\u201d And where does Faulkn\u00ader\u2019s title come from? It turns out to be a solil\u00ado\u00adquy from Shake\u00adspeare\u2019s *Mac\u00adbeth*: \u201cLife is a sto\u00adry told by an idiot, full of noise and com\u00admo\u00adtion, yet mean\u00ading\u00adless.\u201d\u201c<\/p>\n Faulkn\u00ader\u2019s use of allu\u00adsion is a typ\u00adi\u00adcal exam\u00adple. The advan\u00adtage of allu\u00adsion is that it can con\u00advey extreme\u00adly com\u00adplex infor\u00adma\u00adtion with\u00adin a very lim\u00adit\u00aded text, a com\u00admon prac\u00adtice in clas\u00adsi\u00adcal Chi\u00adnese poet\u00adry. How\u00adev\u00ader, the most effec\u00adtive allu\u00adsion is sub\u00adtle and seam\u00adless, like salt dis\u00adsolved in water. Read\u00aders who don\u2019t know the allu\u00adsion can still appre\u00adci\u00adate it, while those who hap\u00adpen to know the allu\u00adsion will under\u00adstand it even more.<\/p>\n So how should we inter\u00adpret the sim\u00adi\u00adlar\u00adi\u00adties in this work between Antho\u00adny Brown, a mas\u00adter of sur\u00adre\u00adal\u00adist pic\u00adture books, and William Faulkn\u00ader, con\u00adsid\u00adered a men\u00adtor by mag\u00adi\u00adcal real\u00adist writ\u00aders? I don\u2019t think it\u2019s pure\u00adly coin\u00adci\u00adden\u00adtal, but it\u2019s also pos\u00adsi\u00adble that they are learn\u00ading from and pay\u00ading homage to the ear\u00adli\u00ader mas\u00adter. If the lat\u00adter is the case, then it\u2019s a bril\u00adliant use of allu\u00adsion, as this sim\u00adi\u00adlar\u00adi\u00adty pro\u00advides the read\u00ader with fur\u00adther avenues to delve deep\u00ader into the work.<\/p>\n http:\/\/landaishu.hi2net.com\/home\/upload20083\/20116238017436.jpg<\/a> Let\u2019s talk about the font. \u201cThe Sound and the Fury\u201d is a pure\u00adly tex\u00adtu\u00adal nov\u00adel, writ\u00adten by a gift\u00aded stream-of-con\u00adscious\u00adness nov\u00adel\u00adist. How does one con\u00advey the pro\u00adtag\u00ado\u00adnist\u2019s nar\u00adra\u00adtion and the chaot\u00adic, whirling thoughts of the pro\u00adtag\u00ado\u00adnist in his pecu\u00adliar men\u00adtal state? Faulkn\u00ader pri\u00admar\u00adi\u00adly uses the omis\u00adsion of punc\u00adtu\u00ada\u00adtion and fre\u00adquent changes in font, which makes the read\u00ading more chal\u00adleng\u00ading, but also gives the work a rich\u00ader expres\u00adsive\u00adness. As a pic\u00adture book, \u201cVoic\u00ades in the Park\u201d boasts an even greater advan\u00adtage in visu\u00adal expres\u00adsion. The four char\u00adac\u00adters\u2019 nar\u00adra\u00adtions are nar\u00adrat\u00aded in dis\u00adtinct fonts: the aris\u00adto\u00adcrat\u00adic moth\u00ader\u2019s nar\u00adra\u00adtion is writ\u00adten in a for\u00admal, ele\u00adgant font, like\u00adly the type\u00adfaces used in fash\u00adion\u00adable wom\u00aden\u2019s mag\u00ada\u00adzines; the blue-col\u00adlar father\u2019s nar\u00adra\u00adtion is writ\u00adten in a bold, bold font, like\u00adly the type\u00adfaces used in the tabloids he fre\u00adquent\u00adly reads; the boy Charles\u2019s hand\u00adwrit\u00ading reflects his per\u00adson\u00adal\u00adi\u00adty, del\u00adi\u00adcate and neat, suit\u00adable for a text\u00adbook; and the girl Qingqing\u2019s hand\u00adwrit\u00ading is a live\u00adly hand\u00adwrit\u00ading, seem\u00ading\u00adly more com\u00admon in car\u00adtoons.

Look\u00ading back, I real\u00adize I over\u00adlooked many details in the illus\u00adtra\u00adtions, only grasp\u00ading the text and the nar\u00adra\u00adtive struc\u00adture. Even so, I thought it was a tru\u00adly remark\u00adable book! If Antho\u00adny knew that a com\u00adplete novice had fall\u00aden in love with his pic\u00adture books after read\u00ading his words, would\u00adn\u2019t he be even more proud?<\/p>\nIn fact, it was in this work that I read anoth\u00ader work I deeply love \u2014 The Sound and the Fury by Amer\u00adi\u00adcan writer William Faulkn\u00ader. To this day, I still think that there is a sur\u00adpris\u00ading sim\u00adi\u00adlar\u00adi\u00adty between these two seem\u00ading\u00adly unre\u00adlat\u00aded works, although this sim\u00adi\u00adlar\u00adi\u00adty is like\u00adly just a coin\u00adci\u00addence.<\/p>\nFirst, both books employ a nar\u00adra\u00adtive struc\u00adture in which four dif\u00adfer\u00adent peo\u00adple tell the same sto\u00adry. This method itself is not nov\u00adel, but it is extreme\u00adly rare in chil\u00addren\u2019s books. Sec\u00adond\u00adly, the four char\u00adac\u00adters involved each have rough\u00adly the same length, and the events are clear\u00adly relat\u00aded, which real\u00adly makes peo\u00adple\u2019s imag\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion run wild.<\/p>\nThe four char\u00adac\u00adters fea\u00adtured in \u201cThe Sound and the Fury\u201d are: the mud\u00addled, idi\u00adot\u00adic broth\u00ader Ben\u00adjy, the eldest broth\u00ader Quentin, who col\u00adlapsed and attempt\u00aded sui\u00adcide, the extreme\u00adly self\u00adish younger broth\u00ader Jason, and the healthy and strong old black maid Dilsey. The four char\u00adac\u00adters fea\u00adtured in \u201cA Voice in the Park\u201d are: the arro\u00adgant and rude moth\u00ader (Antho\u00adny says her name is Mrs. Smits) and her depressed son Charles, the unem\u00adployed blue-col\u00adlar father, and his ener\u00adgetic daugh\u00adter Ching-Ching.<\/p>\nFour char\u00adac\u00adters with vast\u00adly dif\u00adfer\u00adent iden\u00adti\u00adties and men\u00adtal states, told from four com\u00adplete\u00adly dif\u00adfer\u00adent per\u00adspec\u00adtives, nat\u00adu\u00adral\u00adly cre\u00adate a com\u00adplex nar\u00adra\u00adtive. How\u00adev\u00ader, under\u00adstand\u00ading the sto\u00adry is easy, as there is a com\u00admon thread. In \u201cThe Sound and the Fury,\u201d the true pro\u00adtag\u00ado\u00adnist is Katie, the three broth\u00aders\u2019 sis\u00adter. The sto\u00adry cen\u00adters on her unfor\u00adtu\u00adnate down\u00adfall and the sub\u00adse\u00adquent down\u00adfall of her entire fam\u00adi\u00adly. Faulkn\u00ader, deeply moved by her love for him, was reluc\u00adtant to allow her to speak on stage. In \u201cA Voice in the Park,\u201d how\u00adev\u00ader, the true pro\u00adtag\u00ado\u00adnist is the girl, Qingqing. Just look at the nar\u00adra\u00adtives of the oth\u00ader three char\u00adac\u00adters; she\u2019s the cen\u00adter of atten\u00adtion. Even the moth\u00ader, the noble\u00adwoman, hasti\u00adly leaves out of dis\u00adgust. In Antho\u00adny\u2019s mind, this girl must have been absolute\u00adly per\u00adfect, like an unbri\u00addled ray of sun\u00adshine, bring\u00ading warmth and bright\u00adness wher\u00adev\u00ader she passed.<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/landaishu.hi2net.com\/home\/upload20083\/20116237484421.jpg<\/a><\/p>\nWhat puz\u00adzles me, how\u00adev\u00ader, is the girl\u2019s Eng\u00adlish name: Smudge.

Did\u00adn\u2019t the boy, Charles, also say it was pecu\u00adliar? Was it a ran\u00addom name cho\u00adsen by the author? I imag\u00adine Antho\u00adny, who prides him\u00adself on his writ\u00ading, cer\u00adtain\u00adly did\u00adn\u2019t do it casu\u00adal\u00adly.

In con\u00adtrast, the girl, a blue-col\u00adlar work\u00ader in a clut\u00adtered apart\u00adment with a dirty name, is so healthy, hap\u00adpy, and full of life! Of course, this is just one pos\u00adsi\u00adble expla\u00adna\u00adtion.<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/landaishu.hi2net.com\/home\/upload20083\/201162374829383.jpg<\/a><\/p>\nAnoth\u00ader expla\u00adna\u00adtion could be pure coin\u00adci\u00addence. Faulkn\u00ader explic\u00adit\u00adly told read\u00aders that the idea for \u201cThe Sound and the Fury\u201d came from a sin\u00adgle image: a girl climb\u00ading a tree to peer through the win\u00addow of her home at a funer\u00adal. Her three broth\u00aders and the black boy stand beneath the tree, look\u00ading up at her pet\u00adti\u00adcoat, stained with mud (she had recent\u00adly been play\u00ading in the riv\u00ader). And in this pic\u00adture book, we see the pro\u00adtag\u00ado\u00adnist, the lit\u00adtle girl, high up in the tree, while the lit\u00adtle boy fol\u00adlows, mut\u00adter\u00ading the strange name \u201cstain.\u201d Coin\u00adci\u00addence, isn\u2019t it?

The new book was pub\u00adlished in 1998, renamed *Voic\u00ades in the Park*. The coin\u00adci\u00addence I\u2019m refer\u00adring to is that *Voic\u00ades* is sim\u00adi\u00adlar to *Sound* in *The Sound and the Fury*, both mean\u00ading \u201csound.\u201d And where does Faulkn\u00ader\u2019s title come from? It turns out to be a solil\u00ado\u00adquy from Shake\u00adspeare\u2019s *Mac\u00adbeth*: \u201cLife is a sto\u00adry told by an idiot, full of noise and com\u00admo\u00adtion, yet mean\u00ading\u00adless.\u201d\u201c<\/p>\nFaulkn\u00ader\u2019s use of allu\u00adsion is a typ\u00adi\u00adcal exam\u00adple. The advan\u00adtage of allu\u00adsion is that it can con\u00advey extreme\u00adly com\u00adplex infor\u00adma\u00adtion with\u00adin a very lim\u00adit\u00aded text, a com\u00admon prac\u00adtice in clas\u00adsi\u00adcal Chi\u00adnese poet\u00adry. How\u00adev\u00ader, the most effec\u00adtive allu\u00adsion is sub\u00adtle and seam\u00adless, like salt dis\u00adsolved in water. Read\u00aders who don\u2019t know the allu\u00adsion can still appre\u00adci\u00adate it, while those who hap\u00adpen to know the allu\u00adsion will under\u00adstand it even more.<\/p>\nSo how should we inter\u00adpret the sim\u00adi\u00adlar\u00adi\u00adties in this work between Antho\u00adny Brown, a mas\u00adter of sur\u00adre\u00adal\u00adist pic\u00adture books, and William Faulkn\u00ader, con\u00adsid\u00adered a men\u00adtor by mag\u00adi\u00adcal real\u00adist writ\u00aders? I don\u2019t think it\u2019s pure\u00adly coin\u00adci\u00adden\u00adtal, but it\u2019s also pos\u00adsi\u00adble that they are learn\u00ading from and pay\u00ading homage to the ear\u00adli\u00ader mas\u00adter. If the lat\u00adter is the case, then it\u2019s a bril\u00adliant use of allu\u00adsion, as this sim\u00adi\u00adlar\u00adi\u00adty pro\u00advides the read\u00ader with fur\u00adther avenues to delve deep\u00ader into the work.<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/landaishu.hi2net.com\/home\/upload20083\/20116238017436.jpg<\/a>\nAntho\u00adny Brown is a mas\u00adter of using allu\u00adsions in his paint\u00adings.

How does one con\u00advey the pro\u00adtag\u00ado\u00adnist\u2019s nar\u00adra\u00adtion and the chaot\u00adic, whirling thoughts of the pro\u00adtag\u00ado\u00adnist in his pecu\u00adliar men\u00adtal state? Faulkn\u00ader pri\u00admar\u00adi\u00adly uses the omis\u00adsion of punc\u00adtu\u00ada\u00adtion and fre\u00adquent changes in font, which makes the read\u00ading more chal\u00adleng\u00ading, but also gives the work a rich\u00ader expres\u00adsive\u00adness. As a pic\u00adture book, \u201cVoic\u00ades in the Park\u201d boasts an even greater advan\u00adtage in visu\u00adal expres\u00adsion. The four char\u00adac\u00adters\u2019 nar\u00adra\u00adtions are nar\u00adrat\u00aded in dis\u00adtinct fonts: the aris\u00adto\u00adcrat\u00adic moth\u00ader\u2019s nar\u00adra\u00adtion is writ\u00adten in a for\u00admal, ele\u00adgant font, like\u00adly the type\u00adfaces used in fash\u00adion\u00adable wom\u00aden\u2019s mag\u00ada\u00adzines; the blue-col\u00adlar father\u2019s nar\u00adra\u00adtion is writ\u00adten in a bold, bold font, like\u00adly the type\u00adfaces used in the tabloids he fre\u00adquent\u00adly reads; the boy Charles\u2019s hand\u00adwrit\u00ading reflects his per\u00adson\u00adal\u00adi\u00adty, del\u00adi\u00adcate and neat, suit\u00adable for a text\u00adbook; and the girl Qingqing\u2019s hand\u00adwrit\u00ading is a live\u00adly hand\u00adwrit\u00ading, seem\u00ading\u00adly more com\u00admon in car\u00adtoons. Clear\u00adly, the font here reveals the nar\u00adra\u00adtor\u2019s iden\u00adti\u00adty, per\u00adson\u00adal\u00adi\u00adty, and inter\u00adests.<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/landaishu.hi2net.com\/home\/upload20083\/20116238727485.jpg<\/a>\nCom\u00adpar\u00adi\u00adson: The upper left pic\u00adture shows the wealthy moth\u00ader; the upper right pic\u00adture shows the blue-col\u00adlar father<\/p>\nAntho\u00adny is rel\u00ada\u00adtive\u00adly adept at using images to con\u00advey inter\u00adest\u00ading sym\u00adbol\u00adism. For exam\u00adple, the scene is vibrant with autumn when the wealthy moth\u00ader appears, but it becomes a gloomy win\u00adter when the blue-col\u00adlar father appears. Mean\u00adwhile, when the boy and girl play togeth\u00ader, it\u2019s clear\u00adly spring. When they first meet on a park bench, the sky to the left of the lamp\u00adpost is cloudy, while the sky to the right is sun\u00adny! The most intrigu\u00ading scene is the scene where two dogs run between two stat\u00adues, their tails unex\u00adpect\u00aded\u00adly swapped, while the stat\u00adues, clear\u00adly rep\u00adre\u00adsent\u00ading two adults, a man and a woman, remain silent and ignore each oth\u00ader.<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/landaishu.hi2net.com\/home\/upload20083\/201162381052537.jpg<\/a><\/p>\nhttp:\/\/landaishu.hi2net.com\/home\/upload20083\/201162381216993.jpg<\/a><\/p>\nLet\u2019s look at the rela\u00adtion\u00adship between the text and the images in this book.

They leave a trail of maple leaves behind, and a tree catch\u00ades fire. The rel\u00ade\u00advant text is: \u201cWe walked home in silence.\u201d Here, the fire might rep\u00adre\u00adsent the moth\u00ader\u2019s anger; con\u00adtrary to the words, nei\u00adther of them is at peace.<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/landaishu.hi2net.com\/home\/upload20083\/201162381556601.jpg<\/a><\/p>\nThe sec\u00adond account is from the boy\u2019s per\u00adspec\u00adtive. We see him lin\u00adger\u00ading, look\u00ading back at the dis\u00adtant view. They walk in the spring sun\u00adset, leav\u00ading a trail of pink petals behind them. The sculp\u00adtures in the park resem\u00adble mis\u00adchie\u00advous Cupid, hold\u00ading only an emp\u00adty bow; per\u00adhaps the arrow has already been shot.

We see a close-up of the boy look\u00ading back in the cen\u00adter of the pic\u00adture, with the accom\u00adpa\u00adny\u00ading text: \u201cHe looked sad.\u201d.<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/landaishu.hi2net.com\/home\/upload20083\/201162381728249.jpg<\/a><\/p>\nAs can be seen from the exam\u00adples above, the book\u2019s text and pic\u00adtures actu\u00adal\u00adly tell dif\u00adfer\u00adent sto\u00adries. Some\u00adtimes they coin\u00adcide, but often they speak in dif\u00adfer\u00adent direc\u00adtions, often even con\u00adtra\u00addict\u00ading each oth\u00ader. So, we can say that Antho\u00adny tells at least eight sto\u00adries in this book: four in the text and four in the pic\u00adtures! But in real\u00adi\u00adty, it\u2019s like\u00adly nine.

After more than 20 years of fame in the pic\u00adture book world, Antho\u00adny Brown final\u00adly could\u00adn\u2019t resist craft\u00ading a work that chal\u00adlenges both chil\u00addren and adults, retelling a chil\u00addren\u2019s sto\u00adry about every\u00adday life in an incred\u00adi\u00adbly com\u00adplex way. What was he try\u00ading to achieve? It reminds me of Faulkn\u00ader\u2019s assess\u00adment of his most proud work, The Sound and the Fury, which many read\u00aders strug\u00adgled to under\u00adstand: \u201cA glo\u00adri\u00adous fail\u00adure!\u201d This is the pride of an artist who sees art as his life. With\u00adout this almost aloof pur\u00adsuit of infi\u00adnite heights, how can there be a true mas\u00adter\u00adpiece?<\/p>\nIn fact, \u201cSounds in the Park\u201d is bril\u00adliant, yet not a fail\u00adure. In class\u00adrooms in Britain and the Unit\u00aded States, it seems to be one of Antho\u00adny\u2019s most pop\u00adu\u00adlar pic\u00adture books, both for teach\u00aders and chil\u00addren.

The new book was pub\u00adlished in 1998, renamed *Voic\u00ades in the Park*. The coin\u00adci\u00addence I\u2019m refer\u00adring to is that *Voic\u00ades* is sim\u00adi\u00adlar to *Sound* in *The Sound and the Fury*, both mean\u00ading \u201csound.\u201d And where does Faulkn\u00ader\u2019s title come from? It turns out to be a solil\u00ado\u00adquy from Shake\u00adspeare\u2019s *Mac\u00adbeth*: \u201cLife is a sto\u00adry told by an idiot, full of noise and com\u00admo\u00adtion, yet mean\u00ading\u00adless.\u201d\u201c<\/p>\nFaulkn\u00ader\u2019s use of allu\u00adsion is a typ\u00adi\u00adcal exam\u00adple.

How\u00adev\u00ader, the most effec\u00adtive allu\u00adsion is sub\u00adtle and seam\u00adless, like salt dis\u00adsolved in water.

Faulkn\u00ader pri\u00admar\u00adi\u00adly uses the omis\u00adsion of punc\u00adtu\u00ada\u00adtion and fre\u00adquent changes in font, which makes the read\u00ading more chal\u00adleng\u00ading, but also gives the work a rich\u00ader expres\u00adsive\u00adness. As a pic\u00adture book, \u201cVoic\u00ades in the Park\u201d boasts an even greater advan\u00adtage in visu\u00adal expres\u00adsion. The four char\u00adac\u00adters\u2019 nar\u00adra\u00adtions are nar\u00adrat\u00aded in dis\u00adtinct fonts: the aris\u00adto\u00adcrat\u00adic moth\u00ader\u2019s nar\u00adra\u00adtion is writ\u00adten in a for\u00admal, ele\u00adgant font, like\u00adly the type\u00adfaces used in fash\u00adion\u00adable wom\u00aden\u2019s mag\u00ada\u00adzines; the blue-col\u00adlar father\u2019s nar\u00adra\u00adtion is writ\u00adten in a bold, bold font, like\u00adly the type\u00adfaces used in the tabloids he fre\u00adquent\u00adly reads; the boy Charles\u2019s hand\u00adwrit\u00ading reflects his per\u00adson\u00adal\u00adi\u00adty, del\u00adi\u00adcate and neat, suit\u00adable for a text\u00adbook; and the girl Qingqing\u2019s hand\u00adwrit\u00ading is a live\u00adly hand\u00adwrit\u00ading, seem\u00ading\u00adly more com\u00admon in car\u00adtoons.

Mean\u00adwhile, when the boy and girl play togeth\u00ader, it\u2019s clear\u00adly spring. When they first meet on a park bench, the sky to the left of the lamp\u00adpost is cloudy, while the sky to the right is sun\u00adny! The most intrigu\u00ading scene is the scene where two dogs run between two stat\u00adues, their tails unex\u00adpect\u00aded\u00adly swapped, while the stat\u00adues, clear\u00adly rep\u00adre\u00adsent\u00ading two adults, a man and a woman, remain silent and ignore each oth\u00ader.<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/landaishu.hi2net.com\/home\/upload20083\/201162381052537.jpg<\/a><\/p>\nhttp:\/\/landaishu.hi2net.com\/home\/upload20083\/201162381216993.jpg<\/a><\/p>\nLet\u2019s look at the rela\u00adtion\u00adship between the text and the images in this book.

The sculp\u00adtures in the park resem\u00adble mis\u00adchie\u00advous Cupid, hold\u00ading only an emp\u00adty bow; per\u00adhaps the arrow has already been shot.

We see a close-up of the boy look\u00ading back in the cen\u00adter of the pic\u00adture, with the accom\u00adpa\u00adny\u00ading text: \u201cHe looked sad.\u201d.<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/landaishu.hi2net.com\/home\/upload20083\/201162381728249.jpg<\/a><\/p>\nAs can be seen from the exam\u00adples above, the book\u2019s text and pic\u00adtures actu\u00adal\u00adly tell dif\u00adfer\u00adent sto\u00adries. Some\u00adtimes they coin\u00adcide, but often they speak in dif\u00adfer\u00adent direc\u00adtions, often even con\u00adtra\u00addict\u00ading each oth\u00ader. So, we can say that Antho\u00adny tells at least eight sto\u00adries in this book: four in the text and four in the pic\u00adtures! But in real\u00adi\u00adty, it\u2019s like\u00adly nine.

After more than 20 years of fame in the pic\u00adture book world, Antho\u00adny Brown final\u00adly could\u00adn\u2019t resist craft\u00ading a work that chal\u00adlenges both chil\u00addren and adults, retelling a chil\u00addren\u2019s sto\u00adry about every\u00adday life in an incred\u00adi\u00adbly com\u00adplex way. What was he try\u00ading to achieve? It reminds me of Faulkn\u00ader\u2019s assess\u00adment of his most proud work, The Sound and the Fury, which many read\u00aders strug\u00adgled to under\u00adstand: \u201cA glo\u00adri\u00adous fail\u00adure!\u201d This is the pride of an artist who sees art as his life. With\u00adout this almost aloof pur\u00adsuit of infi\u00adnite heights, how can there be a true mas\u00adter\u00adpiece?<\/p>\nIn fact, \u201cSounds in the Park\u201d is bril\u00adliant, yet not a fail\u00adure. In class\u00adrooms in Britain and the Unit\u00aded States, it seems to be one of Antho\u00adny\u2019s most pop\u00adu\u00adlar pic\u00adture books, both for teach\u00aders and chil\u00addren.

Faulkn\u00ader explic\u00adit\u00adly told read\u00aders that the idea for \u201cThe Sound and the Fury\u201d came from a sin\u00adgle image: a girl climb\u00ading a tree to peer through the win\u00addow of her home at a funer\u00adal. Her three broth\u00aders and the black boy stand beneath the tree, look\u00ading up at her pet\u00adti\u00adcoat, stained with mud (she had recent\u00adly been play\u00ading in the riv\u00ader). And in this pic\u00adture book, we see the pro\u00adtag\u00ado\u00adnist, the lit\u00adtle girl, high up in the tree, while the lit\u00adtle boy fol\u00adlows, mut\u00adter\u00ading the strange name \u201cstain.\u201d Coin\u00adci\u00addence, isn\u2019t it? Of course, in this sto\u00adry, it\u2019s the girl\u2019s dog, Albert, who jumps into the water.<\/p>\nThere is anoth\u00ader deep\u00ader coin\u00adci\u00addence. It is worth men\u00adtion\u00ading that \u201cVoic\u00ades in the Park\u201d is a re-cre\u00adation of \u201cA Walk in the Park\u201d which was orig\u00adi\u00adnal\u00adly pub\u00adlished in 1977.\npark), judg\u00ading from the intro\u00adduc\u00adtion, the clues of the sto\u00adry are sim\u00adi\u00adlar, and judg\u00ading from the cov\u00ader, it hap\u00adpens to be the scene of a father, his daugh\u00adter and the pup\u00adpy enter\u00ading the park gate togeth\u00ader.<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/landaishu.hi2net.com\/home\/upload20083\/20116237503125.jpg<\/a>\nhttp:\/\/landaishu.hi2net.com\/home\/upload20083\/201162375029724.jpg<\/a>\nCom\u00adpar\u00adi\u00adson: The left image above shows the cov\u00ader of the 1977 edi\u00adtion; the right image shows the front page of the 1998 new edi\u00adtion of The Fourth Voice.<\/p>\nAlthough *Voic\u00ades in the Park* is out of print, Antho\u00adny Faulkn\u00ader him\u00adself par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar\u00adly liked the sto\u00adry\u2019s con\u00adcept, but was\u00adn\u2019t entire\u00adly sat\u00adis\u00adfied with the orig\u00adi\u00adnal illus\u00adtra\u00adtions. So he redrawn them and changed the nar\u00adra\u00adtive style, hav\u00ading four char\u00adac\u00adters retell the sto\u00adry from dif\u00adfer\u00adent per\u00adspec\u00adtives. The new book was pub\u00adlished in 1998, renamed *Voic\u00ades in the Park*. The coin\u00adci\u00addence I\u2019m refer\u00adring to is that *Voic\u00ades* is sim\u00adi\u00adlar to *Sound* in *The Sound and the Fury*, both mean\u00ading \u201csound.\u201d And where does Faulkn\u00ader\u2019s title come from? It turns out to be a solil\u00ado\u00adquy from Shake\u00adspeare\u2019s *Mac\u00adbeth*: \u201cLife is a sto\u00adry told by an idiot, full of noise and com\u00admo\u00adtion, yet mean\u00ading\u00adless.\u201d\u201c<\/p>\nFaulkn\u00ader\u2019s use of allu\u00adsion is a typ\u00adi\u00adcal exam\u00adple. The advan\u00adtage of allu\u00adsion is that it can con\u00advey extreme\u00adly com\u00adplex infor\u00adma\u00adtion with\u00adin a very lim\u00adit\u00aded text, a com\u00admon prac\u00adtice in clas\u00adsi\u00adcal Chi\u00adnese poet\u00adry. How\u00adev\u00ader, the most effec\u00adtive allu\u00adsion is sub\u00adtle and seam\u00adless, like salt dis\u00adsolved in water. Read\u00aders who don\u2019t know the allu\u00adsion can still appre\u00adci\u00adate it, while those who hap\u00adpen to know the allu\u00adsion will under\u00adstand it even more.<\/p>\nSo how should we inter\u00adpret the sim\u00adi\u00adlar\u00adi\u00adties in this work between Antho\u00adny Brown, a mas\u00adter of sur\u00adre\u00adal\u00adist pic\u00adture books, and William Faulkn\u00ader, con\u00adsid\u00adered a men\u00adtor by mag\u00adi\u00adcal real\u00adist writ\u00aders? I don\u2019t think it\u2019s pure\u00adly coin\u00adci\u00adden\u00adtal, but it\u2019s also pos\u00adsi\u00adble that they are learn\u00ading from and pay\u00ading homage to the ear\u00adli\u00ader mas\u00adter. If the lat\u00adter is the case, then it\u2019s a bril\u00adliant use of allu\u00adsion, as this sim\u00adi\u00adlar\u00adi\u00adty pro\u00advides the read\u00ader with fur\u00adther avenues to delve deep\u00ader into the work.<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/landaishu.hi2net.com\/home\/upload20083\/20116238017436.jpg<\/a>\nAntho\u00adny Brown is a mas\u00adter of using allu\u00adsions in his paint\u00adings.

How does one con\u00advey the pro\u00adtag\u00ado\u00adnist\u2019s nar\u00adra\u00adtion and the chaot\u00adic, whirling thoughts of the pro\u00adtag\u00ado\u00adnist in his pecu\u00adliar men\u00adtal state? Faulkn\u00ader pri\u00admar\u00adi\u00adly uses the omis\u00adsion of punc\u00adtu\u00ada\u00adtion and fre\u00adquent changes in font, which makes the read\u00ading more chal\u00adleng\u00ading, but also gives the work a rich\u00ader expres\u00adsive\u00adness. As a pic\u00adture book, \u201cVoic\u00ades in the Park\u201d boasts an even greater advan\u00adtage in visu\u00adal expres\u00adsion. The four char\u00adac\u00adters\u2019 nar\u00adra\u00adtions are nar\u00adrat\u00aded in dis\u00adtinct fonts: the aris\u00adto\u00adcrat\u00adic moth\u00ader\u2019s nar\u00adra\u00adtion is writ\u00adten in a for\u00admal, ele\u00adgant font, like\u00adly the type\u00adfaces used in fash\u00adion\u00adable wom\u00aden\u2019s mag\u00ada\u00adzines; the blue-col\u00adlar father\u2019s nar\u00adra\u00adtion is writ\u00adten in a bold, bold font, like\u00adly the type\u00adfaces used in the tabloids he fre\u00adquent\u00adly reads; the boy Charles\u2019s hand\u00adwrit\u00ading reflects his per\u00adson\u00adal\u00adi\u00adty, del\u00adi\u00adcate and neat, suit\u00adable for a text\u00adbook; and the girl Qingqing\u2019s hand\u00adwrit\u00ading is a live\u00adly hand\u00adwrit\u00ading, seem\u00ading\u00adly more com\u00admon in car\u00adtoons. Clear\u00adly, the font here reveals the nar\u00adra\u00adtor\u2019s iden\u00adti\u00adty, per\u00adson\u00adal\u00adi\u00adty, and inter\u00adests.<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/landaishu.hi2net.com\/home\/upload20083\/20116238727485.jpg<\/a>\nCom\u00adpar\u00adi\u00adson: The upper left pic\u00adture shows the wealthy moth\u00ader; the upper right pic\u00adture shows the blue-col\u00adlar father<\/p>\nAntho\u00adny is rel\u00ada\u00adtive\u00adly adept at using images to con\u00advey inter\u00adest\u00ading sym\u00adbol\u00adism. For exam\u00adple, the scene is vibrant with autumn when the wealthy moth\u00ader appears, but it becomes a gloomy win\u00adter when the blue-col\u00adlar father appears. Mean\u00adwhile, when the boy and girl play togeth\u00ader, it\u2019s clear\u00adly spring. When they first meet on a park bench, the sky to the left of the lamp\u00adpost is cloudy, while the sky to the right is sun\u00adny! The most intrigu\u00ading scene is the scene where two dogs run between two stat\u00adues, their tails unex\u00adpect\u00aded\u00adly swapped, while the stat\u00adues, clear\u00adly rep\u00adre\u00adsent\u00ading two adults, a man and a woman, remain silent and ignore each oth\u00ader.<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/landaishu.hi2net.com\/home\/upload20083\/201162381052537.jpg<\/a><\/p>\nhttp:\/\/landaishu.hi2net.com\/home\/upload20083\/201162381216993.jpg<\/a><\/p>\nLet\u2019s look at the rela\u00adtion\u00adship between the text and the images in this book. For exam\u00adple, the scene where the boy is tak\u00aden away by his moth\u00ader appears three times:<\/p>\nThe first account is from the moth\u00ader. The lit\u00adtle boy is almost com\u00adplete\u00adly hid\u00adden from her view; his feet are some\u00adwhat con\u00adfused with the dog\u2019s, and the dog\u2019s tail seems to be his. They leave a trail of maple leaves behind, and a tree catch\u00ades fire. The rel\u00ade\u00advant text is: \u201cWe walked home in silence.\u201d Here, the fire might rep\u00adre\u00adsent the moth\u00ader\u2019s anger; con\u00adtrary to the words, nei\u00adther of them is at peace.<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/landaishu.hi2net.com\/home\/upload20083\/201162381556601.jpg<\/a><\/p>\nThe sec\u00adond account is from the boy\u2019s per\u00adspec\u00adtive. We see him lin\u00adger\u00ading, look\u00ading back at the dis\u00adtant view. They walk in the spring sun\u00adset, leav\u00ading a trail of pink petals behind them. The sculp\u00adtures in the park resem\u00adble mis\u00adchie\u00advous Cupid, hold\u00ading only an emp\u00adty bow; per\u00adhaps the arrow has already been shot.

The imagery is exag\u00adger\u00adat\u00aded and dis\u00adtort\u00aded, yet vibrant. We see a close-up of the boy look\u00ading back in the cen\u00adter of the pic\u00adture, with the accom\u00adpa\u00adny\u00ading text: \u201cHe looked sad.\u201d.<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/landaishu.hi2net.com\/home\/upload20083\/201162381728249.jpg<\/a><\/p>\nAs can be seen from the exam\u00adples above, the book\u2019s text and pic\u00adtures actu\u00adal\u00adly tell dif\u00adfer\u00adent sto\u00adries. Some\u00adtimes they coin\u00adcide, but often they speak in dif\u00adfer\u00adent direc\u00adtions, often even con\u00adtra\u00addict\u00ading each oth\u00ader. So, we can say that Antho\u00adny tells at least eight sto\u00adries in this book: four in the text and four in the pic\u00adtures! But in real\u00adi\u00adty, it\u2019s like\u00adly nine.

After more than 20 years of fame in the pic\u00adture book world, Antho\u00adny Brown final\u00adly could\u00adn\u2019t resist craft\u00ading a work that chal\u00adlenges both chil\u00addren and adults, retelling a chil\u00addren\u2019s sto\u00adry about every\u00adday life in an incred\u00adi\u00adbly com\u00adplex way. What was he try\u00ading to achieve? It reminds me of Faulkn\u00ader\u2019s assess\u00adment of his most proud work, The Sound and the Fury, which many read\u00aders strug\u00adgled to under\u00adstand: \u201cA glo\u00adri\u00adous fail\u00adure!\u201d This is the pride of an artist who sees art as his life. With\u00adout this almost aloof pur\u00adsuit of infi\u00adnite heights, how can there be a true mas\u00adter\u00adpiece?<\/p>\nIn fact, \u201cSounds in the Park\u201d is bril\u00adliant, yet not a fail\u00adure. In class\u00adrooms in Britain and the Unit\u00aded States, it seems to be one of Antho\u00adny\u2019s most pop\u00adu\u00adlar pic\u00adture books, both for teach\u00aders and chil\u00addren.

The new book was pub\u00adlished in 1998, renamed *Voic\u00ades in the Park*. The coin\u00adci\u00addence I\u2019m refer\u00adring to is that *Voic\u00ades* is sim\u00adi\u00adlar to *Sound* in *The Sound and the Fury*, both mean\u00ading \u201csound.\u201d And where does Faulkn\u00ader\u2019s title come from? It turns out to be a solil\u00ado\u00adquy from Shake\u00adspeare\u2019s *Mac\u00adbeth*: \u201cLife is a sto\u00adry told by an idiot, full of noise and com\u00admo\u00adtion, yet mean\u00ading\u00adless.\u201d\u201c<\/p>\nFaulkn\u00ader\u2019s use of allu\u00adsion is a typ\u00adi\u00adcal exam\u00adple.

How\u00adev\u00ader, the most effec\u00adtive allu\u00adsion is sub\u00adtle and seam\u00adless, like salt dis\u00adsolved in water. Read\u00aders who don\u2019t know the allu\u00adsion can still appre\u00adci\u00adate it, while those who hap\u00adpen to know the allu\u00adsion will under\u00adstand it even more.<\/p>\nSo how should we inter\u00adpret the sim\u00adi\u00adlar\u00adi\u00adties in this work between Antho\u00adny Brown, a mas\u00adter of sur\u00adre\u00adal\u00adist pic\u00adture books, and William Faulkn\u00ader, con\u00adsid\u00adered a men\u00adtor by mag\u00adi\u00adcal real\u00adist writ\u00aders?

Faulkn\u00ader pri\u00admar\u00adi\u00adly uses the omis\u00adsion of punc\u00adtu\u00ada\u00adtion and fre\u00adquent changes in font, which makes the read\u00ading more chal\u00adleng\u00ading, but also gives the work a rich\u00ader expres\u00adsive\u00adness. As a pic\u00adture book, \u201cVoic\u00ades in the Park\u201d boasts an even greater advan\u00adtage in visu\u00adal expres\u00adsion. The four char\u00adac\u00adters\u2019 nar\u00adra\u00adtions are nar\u00adrat\u00aded in dis\u00adtinct fonts: the aris\u00adto\u00adcrat\u00adic moth\u00ader\u2019s nar\u00adra\u00adtion is writ\u00adten in a for\u00admal, ele\u00adgant font, like\u00adly the type\u00adfaces used in fash\u00adion\u00adable wom\u00aden\u2019s mag\u00ada\u00adzines; the blue-col\u00adlar father\u2019s nar\u00adra\u00adtion is writ\u00adten in a bold, bold font, like\u00adly the type\u00adfaces used in the tabloids he fre\u00adquent\u00adly reads; the boy Charles\u2019s hand\u00adwrit\u00ading reflects his per\u00adson\u00adal\u00adi\u00adty, del\u00adi\u00adcate and neat, suit\u00adable for a text\u00adbook; and the girl Qingqing\u2019s hand\u00adwrit\u00ading is a live\u00adly hand\u00adwrit\u00ading, seem\u00ading\u00adly more com\u00admon in car\u00adtoons.

Mean\u00adwhile, when the boy and girl play togeth\u00ader, it\u2019s clear\u00adly spring. When they first meet on a park bench, the sky to the left of the lamp\u00adpost is cloudy, while the sky to the right is sun\u00adny! The most intrigu\u00ading scene is the scene where two dogs run between two stat\u00adues, their tails unex\u00adpect\u00aded\u00adly swapped, while the stat\u00adues, clear\u00adly rep\u00adre\u00adsent\u00ading two adults, a man and a woman, remain silent and ignore each oth\u00ader.<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/landaishu.hi2net.com\/home\/upload20083\/201162381052537.jpg<\/a><\/p>\nhttp:\/\/landaishu.hi2net.com\/home\/upload20083\/201162381216993.jpg<\/a><\/p>\nLet\u2019s look at the rela\u00adtion\u00adship between the text and the images in this book. For exam\u00adple, the scene where the boy is tak\u00aden away by his moth\u00ader appears three times:<\/p>\nThe first account is from the moth\u00ader. The lit\u00adtle boy is almost com\u00adplete\u00adly hid\u00adden from her view; his feet are some\u00adwhat con\u00adfused with the dog\u2019s, and the dog\u2019s tail seems to be his. They leave a trail of maple leaves behind, and a tree catch\u00ades fire. The rel\u00ade\u00advant text is: \u201cWe walked home in silence.\u201d Here, the fire might rep\u00adre\u00adsent the moth\u00ader\u2019s anger; con\u00adtrary to the words, nei\u00adther of them is at peace.<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/landaishu.hi2net.com\/home\/upload20083\/201162381556601.jpg<\/a><\/p>\nThe sec\u00adond account is from the boy\u2019s per\u00adspec\u00adtive. We see him lin\u00adger\u00ading, look\u00ading back at the dis\u00adtant view. They walk in the spring sun\u00adset, leav\u00ading a trail of pink petals behind them. The sculp\u00adtures in the park resem\u00adble mis\u00adchie\u00advous Cupid, hold\u00ading only an emp\u00adty bow; per\u00adhaps the arrow has already been shot. The rel\u00ade\u00advant text is: Maybe Smudge will be there next time?<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/landaishu.hi2net.com\/home\/upload20083\/20116238174188.jpg<\/a><\/p>\nThe third nar\u00adra\u00adtion is by the girl, still depict\u00ading a spring scene. The imagery is exag\u00adger\u00adat\u00aded and dis\u00adtort\u00aded, yet vibrant. We see a close-up of the boy look\u00ading back in the cen\u00adter of the pic\u00adture, with the accom\u00adpa\u00adny\u00ading text: \u201cHe looked sad.\u201d.<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/landaishu.hi2net.com\/home\/upload20083\/201162381728249.jpg<\/a><\/p>\nAs can be seen from the exam\u00adples above, the book\u2019s text and pic\u00adtures actu\u00adal\u00adly tell dif\u00adfer\u00adent sto\u00adries. Some\u00adtimes they coin\u00adcide, but often they speak in dif\u00adfer\u00adent direc\u00adtions, often even con\u00adtra\u00addict\u00ading each oth\u00ader. So, we can say that Antho\u00adny tells at least eight sto\u00adries in this book: four in the text and four in the pic\u00adtures! But in real\u00adi\u00adty, it\u2019s like\u00adly nine. The ninth sto\u00adry appears on the cov\u00ader, nar\u00adrat\u00aded by Antho\u00adny him\u00adself as a tran\u00adscen\u00addent nar\u00adra\u00adtor. In the cen\u00adter back\u00adground, a giant plant resem\u00adbling a Bud\u00addha\u2019s hand blooms like a heart flower, radi\u00adat\u00ading gold\u00aden light\u2026<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/landaishu.hi2net.com\/home\/upload20083\/201162381749979.jpg<\/a><\/p>\nThere seems to be an end\u00adless amount of detail to be mined about this work, whether in the text, the pic\u00adtures, or the rela\u00adtion\u00adship between them. After more than 20 years of fame in the pic\u00adture book world, Antho\u00adny Brown final\u00adly could\u00adn\u2019t resist craft\u00ading a work that chal\u00adlenges both chil\u00addren and adults, retelling a chil\u00addren\u2019s sto\u00adry about every\u00adday life in an incred\u00adi\u00adbly com\u00adplex way. What was he try\u00ading to achieve? It reminds me of Faulkn\u00ader\u2019s assess\u00adment of his most proud work, The Sound and the Fury, which many read\u00aders strug\u00adgled to under\u00adstand: \u201cA glo\u00adri\u00adous fail\u00adure!\u201d This is the pride of an artist who sees art as his life. With\u00adout this almost aloof pur\u00adsuit of infi\u00adnite heights, how can there be a true mas\u00adter\u00adpiece?<\/p>\nIn fact, \u201cSounds in the Park\u201d is bril\u00adliant, yet not a fail\u00adure. In class\u00adrooms in Britain and the Unit\u00aded States, it seems to be one of Antho\u00adny\u2019s most pop\u00adu\u00adlar pic\u00adture books, both for teach\u00aders and chil\u00addren. Just as \u201cThe Sound and the Fury,\u201d along with oth\u00ader works, won William Faulkn\u00ader the 1949 Nobel Prize for Lit\u00ader\u00ada\u00adture, \u201cSounds in the Park,\u201d along with oth\u00ader rep\u00adre\u00adsen\u00adta\u00adtive works, earned Antho\u00adny Brown the 2000 Inter\u00adna\u00adtion\u00adal Hans Chris\u00adt\u00adian Ander\u00adsen Award, com\u00admon\u00adly known as the \u201cLit\u00adtle Nobel Prize.\u201d In this book, he accom\u00adplished an extreme\u00adly dif\u00adfi\u00adcult and thrilling chal\u00adlenge, pre\u00adsent\u00ading the most famil\u00adiar and every\u00adday life with an unusu\u00adal\u00adly col\u00ador\u00adful and bustling atmos\u00adphere.

Faulkn\u00ader pri\u00admar\u00adi\u00adly uses the omis\u00adsion of punc\u00adtu\u00ada\u00adtion and fre\u00adquent changes in font, which makes the read\u00ading more chal\u00adleng\u00ading, but also gives the work a rich\u00ader expres\u00adsive\u00adness. As a pic\u00adture book, \u201cVoic\u00ades in the Park\u201d boasts an even greater advan\u00adtage in visu\u00adal expres\u00adsion. The four char\u00adac\u00adters\u2019 nar\u00adra\u00adtions are nar\u00adrat\u00aded in dis\u00adtinct fonts: the aris\u00adto\u00adcrat\u00adic moth\u00ader\u2019s nar\u00adra\u00adtion is writ\u00adten in a for\u00admal, ele\u00adgant font, like\u00adly the type\u00adfaces used in fash\u00adion\u00adable wom\u00aden\u2019s mag\u00ada\u00adzines; the blue-col\u00adlar father\u2019s nar\u00adra\u00adtion is writ\u00adten in a bold, bold font, like\u00adly the type\u00adfaces used in the tabloids he fre\u00adquent\u00adly reads; the boy Charles\u2019s hand\u00adwrit\u00ading reflects his per\u00adson\u00adal\u00adi\u00adty, del\u00adi\u00adcate and neat, suit\u00adable for a text\u00adbook; and the girl Qingqing\u2019s hand\u00adwrit\u00ading is a live\u00adly hand\u00adwrit\u00ading, seem\u00ading\u00adly more com\u00admon in car\u00adtoons. Clear\u00adly, the font here reveals the nar\u00adra\u00adtor\u2019s iden\u00adti\u00adty, per\u00adson\u00adal\u00adi\u00adty, and inter\u00adests.<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/landaishu.hi2net.com\/home\/upload20083\/20116238727485.jpg<\/a>\nCom\u00adpar\u00adi\u00adson: The upper left pic\u00adture shows the wealthy moth\u00ader; the upper right pic\u00adture shows the blue-col\u00adlar father<\/p>\nAntho\u00adny is rel\u00ada\u00adtive\u00adly adept at using images to con\u00advey inter\u00adest\u00ading sym\u00adbol\u00adism.
