Literacy Blog #6

           I believe this one is most effective as a cover because it shows one of the main conflicts in the story. It shows us that there is a girl all alone in the woods in the night, this makes me think that something weird is going on because normally no one would be all alone in the woods in the middle of the night. It also show us that there is fairies in this story and they are a big part of this story and the conflict that goes on. "Lysander! lord! What, out of hearing? gone? no sound, no word?"(2,2) This shows us that she is not suppose to be alone and in this cover she is so right there is a conflict. It also tells us that she is with Lysander and we know that they are in love and he has left because of the fairies which are on the title of this book with Hermia. Had I not read the book and seen this title I would find it interesting and probably want to read it. The way that they illustrated Hermia is what I pictured her as, a beautiful young Athenian woman in very nice clothes. That is also what I see the fairies as because that’s the way I grew up seeing them as in TV shows and movies. This cover reminds me of Winnie the pooh because she is in the woods and that is where Winnie,Piglet and Tigger all live.
