Winnie-the-Pooh

Choose two adventures of different types (such as a journey and an act of kindness) and examine how imagination fuels each part of those adventures. How is imagination’s role the same and different in each adventure? What did answering this question teach you about using imagination to solve problems?

Explore how Pooh’s love for honey exemplifies how one’s best qualities can also be one’s greatest weaknesses. Use honey’s role in the stories to show how it’s both an asset and a problem for Pooh and other characters. Would Pooh be a better character if he was less enthralled by honey? Why or why not?

How does the narrative style influence the reading and enjoyment of the stories? Is the humor distracting, or does it add to the experience? If you were the author, would you have written the narrative differently? Why or why not? If so, how? If not, what about the existing narration makes it perfect for the book?
