Why does the writer mention "brighter pictures" in the end? Learning to think for question 1 Sometimes writers don't tell everything directly. You need to connect certain symbols with the writers' feelings. The phrase "brighter pictures" has two meanings: ◦ It refers to the colourful and cheerful drawings made by the children in the hospital with the crayons Leah collected. These drawings have brightened up the hospital walls. ◦ It symbolizes the happier and more hopeful atmosphere in the hospital. Leah's kindness has brought joy to the children, making them more positive. Think and share 2. What words would you use to describe Leah? Kind. / Brave. /Determined. / Helpful. / Creative. /... Work in groups of four and discuss the questions. 1. What other problems may kids in hospitals face? 2. What can we do to help? Give books, toys, games, or art supplies to hospitals. Spend time with them, read stories, or play games. Write letters or draw pictures to cheer them up. Volunteer to tutor them if possible. Think and discuss They may be scared of doctors, treatments, or being alone. They may be in pain from their illness or medical procedures.
