Mary Poppins

What would you do if your children miss behaved all the time? If I were in this place I would try to get them help. The Story Mary Poppins by, P.L. Travers is highly unrealistic and it is a romance. In the short story Mary Poppins, Mary Poppins arrives and the children learn to behave better.


Besides the fact that the children being terrible, the family sitter has left them. She left from the kids being bad. So, their father, Mr.Banks chooses to hold a day where people could come in and see if they worked well with the children. Mary Poppins was chosen to be the nanny. She showed them to clean up after themselves just by a snap of a finger. The children now have a fun way to clean, and won’t give the parents any more stress.


The story is totally unrealistic. Mary Poppins takes the children for a walk in the park and jumps into a painting. Inside of the painting Mary, the kids, and Bert are singing and dancing with talking pigs and other animals. The plot line of the story was romance. In the movie there were tons of bright colors. The children then want Mary Poppins to stay to be their nanny. Mary Poppins learns to take control and keep the children.


Symbolism in the story follows the plot line of romance. There are fall colors like, Red, Orange, and Greens. When they take the trip into the painting they see doves, and horses. Those animals helped follow the plot line of romance. The painting is created with pastel colors. This means bright and dull colors. Theses colors represent the season of fall or autumn.


If you haven’t seen Mary Poppins I would recommend that you see it. The story may be cheesy at times but follows the plot line of romance very well. Even though there is a mean dad and miss behaved children the story is well written. So, in the short story Marry Poppins the story is highly unrealistic but the children learn to behave better.
