My collage is a representation of the mood and feelings the children have throughout the entire story. The three faces of sadness and grief represent the stress and disposition the children feel when Luna is present. The bench in the middle of a dirt road represents the isolation the children experience when Sunny disappears. The picture of the four gods on horses represents the hope that is gone when the children's prayers for help are not answered. The picture of the jealous woman represents the envy Luna has towards Sunny in the opening of the story. The moon and igloo represent the implied meaning that Luna is really the moon and the children are actually the people of the earth.

**The Dark Side of Luna Exert**

That night instead of continuing her orbit, Luna decided to stay as still as a rock. Terra although confused by her actions, ignored the slight faulty in Luna’s orbit. The next morning Sunny never woke up. The children were confused at Luna’s presence when they awoke. Terra’s children had never seen such a sight during the day. The moonlit sky was a new quandary that left Terra and her children puzzled. At first the children were thrilled to see a new friend living amongst them. Luna was astonished her plan worked. She and the children were now acquainted leaving Terra to believe the disappearance of Sunny was not such a mishap after all. Luna and the children bonded for hours on end. The children listened to Luna’s stories of life in the darkness and what it perceived for hours. Everything was perfect and Luna felt what it was like to be loved for the very first time. She was in bliss.
