The author of The Three Pigs did a tremendous work on transforming a folktale to modern picture book. I choose this book because it so unique from the traditional story of the three little pigs and the wolf. The author was able to use different colors, lines to make great distinction in the illustrations. Thicker, darker lines were used in the illustrations to make the characters and illustrations appear alive. The illustrations were simple and appeals to the eyes of readers. The author definitely took into account the imaginary minds of children. Thinner lines were also used to depict reality in the illustrations. At a first glace of the book, I noticed the grey color of the book was the same color of the sticks that the second pig used to

Feral pigs are omnivores, preferring succulent green vegetation, fruit, grain, and a wide variety of animal meat including, frogs, reptiles, birds, small mammals; and carrion. They also feed on underground plants such as root, bulbs, corms, and fungi. As a result of fossicking for food. The vast diet of feral pigs can cause severe environmental damage to vegetation. Feral pigs can also cause erosion of soil and damage to the native species of animals and vegetation. The requirement of protein and energy in a pig's diet is very high. This is needed for breeding, successful lactation and growth of young.

These animals were used as food sources, transportation, and laborers. Pigs were able to thrive in the wildlife because they were rarely bothered by any of the diseases. Pigs were fast reproducers therefore they served as the explorers food. Pigs multiplied to 30,000 in Cuba and were found in various places. Pigs then were more boar like than today's. Explorers like Pizarro and De Soto brought more pigs to the New World causing rapid reproduction. When De Soto brought 13 pigs, three years later there were 700 instead of the 13 he brought. Today they are no longer domesticated in many places. Pigs are still used for a main food source but also as black truffle finders in France, trash scavengers that help towns have less scraps, and for making many day to day products. Some pigs are becoming invasive in parts of America and the United States. The population of pigs is steadily growing and they inhabit most of

The first clue towards the development of the pigs’ character was the example with the apples and milk. The pigs had taken the apples and milk, claiming that “it is for your sake that we drink that milk and eat those apples,” and that “(this has been proved by Science, comrades) these contain substances absolutely necessary to the well-being of a pig.” However, they had deceived the animals, fooling them with the illusion that they were doing this for them, whereas, they were just consuming

After a long restless night, I was desperate to gaze at them. I brought them outside, but the babies didn't eat the grass which surprised me do to the fact the guinea pigs can eat right after birth, but usually it takes twenty-four hours well, it had been about twenty hours! A little bit later the older brother, Coal, started to eat grass, he was also the first to drink milk. We named the girl Ocean who is black and white, and the boy Coal, who is as black as coal.

Pigs are one of the most similar animals to humans, and can be analyzed to learn about the organ systems of the body. Both pigs and humans are mammals, omnivores, furless and featherless, and their fetuses receive nutrients from their mothers through the umbilical cord as they develop (Field). These

First, the inability to read or write automatically let the pig take advantage of the other animals. The animals were attempting to learn the alphabet however, most couldn't get passed the first letter. "Muriel, the goat, could read [better than] the dogs. . . Benjamin could read as well as any pig, but never exercised his faculty. . . Mollie refused to learn any bu the six letters [which] spelt her own name. . .None of he other animals [could get] further than A." (Orwell, 28) The few animals that did understand how to read and write was inferior to the pig's level of literacy and/or did not use what they knew to their own

Although the pigs in this novel are terrible creatures who do terrible things, they are unfortunately very, very smart. These pigs are power hungry, and they will do anything that it takes to maintain their power. But, to maintain power, the pigs must first gain power. The pigs use education as a way to gain power. After the rebellion in the beginning of the novel, the pigs find books that teach them to read in the farm house. The pigs, being the power hungry animals that they are, teach themselves how to read and write. They know that they are much smarter than all of the other animals on the farm. Since the other animals could not learn how to read or write, the pigs used this as leverage to get power. Because they are the only animals that could read or write, they were quickly thought of as leaders and much

Using language as power, the pigs exploited all the others to benefit themselves, further contradicting the rule all animals are equal. Since the pigs were the only animals on the farm who could read, they kept the information they knew to themselves and used it to build and maintain their power. They malupulated the other animals

The story of the “Three Little Pigs” has been around for a very long time. Parents have been telling their children this tale for generations. This story tells the narrative of three pigs, who construct their homes of three different materials, one straw, one wood and one brick. Then, comes along a Big Bad Wolf, who blows down two of the three homes and then focuses on tricking the final pig into coming out of his house so that he too, can be eaten. In this story, the third little pig, who made his home of brick, was the most admirable because he was clever, hard-working and courageous.
