Through decisive judgement it is clear that the appropriation is a “direct embodiment of the central concerns of the story” with intertwining layers of emotion through the use of the rabbits‚ numbats and cloud cover.

Pupils’ Misconceptions in Mathematics One of the most important findings of mathematics education research carried out in Britain over the last twenty years has been that all pupils constantly ‘invent’ rules to explain the patterns they see around them.
