brief Introduction of the content
Africa is famous for the variety and quantity of wild animals, and animal stories are of course indispensable in African folk stories. Among many animals, it is usually small animals that win by cleverness. We can see such examples in traditional stories in different parts of Africa, such as the spider Anansi in Nigeria, the rabbit Luck in Senegal and the rabbit Kalulu in Zambia.
South African mantis Mandis. Humans will also appear in these stories, but people and animals think alike, live together, and even marry each other and have children. So in animal stories, we don't use "it" to refer to animals, because there seems to be no difference between animals and people except their size.
The same animal will have the same personality characteristics in different stories: the lion is arrogant, the elephant is rough, the jackal is cunning, the spider is greedy, the hare is alert, the tortoise is smart, and so on. For example, The Spider's Story, Spider and Famine, Spider and the Old Lady, Spider and the Humpback Man all depict the greed of spiders.
Handwritten newspapers/posters
Handwritten newspaper refers to a newspaper that publishes news information manually in paper form in the development of journalism. It is the prototype of newspaper, also known as handwritten news. In the Tang Dynasty in China, there was a handwritten newspaper with local officials as the main target, which was presided over by Beijing local officials and was called "Dibao" in history.
The Dunlong House newspaper "Entering the Courtyard" existing in the British Library, copied in 887 AD, is the earliest newspaper in the world.
In school, handwritten newspaper is a good activity form in the second class, which is quite flexible and free. Manuscript newspaper is also a kind of mass propaganda tool, which is equivalent to a reduced version of blackboard newspaper.
Overall conception
It is difficult to make a handwritten newspaper in a limited space, which requires both a certain amount of knowledge and a wonderful and beautiful layout. For an editor, soliciting contributions, editing, typesetting, illustration and writing are a creative process that pays equal attention to both brain power and physical strength, and is a comprehensive embodiment of his cultural accomplishment, life interest, mental outlook and artistic accomplishment.
This is undoubtedly a vast world for a student to develop his personality and talent.
