Description
Little Boy and Mr Scary Snake is the story of a child who has to do the right thing in order to face his fears. Little Boy, the protagonist, ends up doing the bravest thing he has ever had to do. Faced with adversity of every kind, he manages to extricate himself from his unfortunate predicament. It is the story of a child s rite of passage. During the course of the story, Little Boy must endure fear, ridicule, and the disbelief of well-meaning adults in his life. These kindly and well-intentioned grown-ups are easily identifi ed by their evocative names. Throughout the story from the moment he recognizes the difference between right and wrong in Mr Scary Snake s behaviour, to his disbelief when faced with the reality of the self-absorbed world of the adults who fail to understand his fears Little Boy goes through momentous thinking processes. When his cries about Mr Scary Snake fall on deaf ears, Little Boy becomes afraid of not being believed. His frustration almost overshadows his palpable fear of Mr Scary Snake. It is Little Boy s determination, internal values, morality, courage, resilience, sense of justice, and fi nally trust, which helps him to overcome and conquer his fears.
