A COMPOSIÇÃO DA PERSONAGEM TIA ANASTÁCIA EM CAÇADAS DE PEDRINHO, DE MONTEIRO LOBATO

Abstract

Monteiro Lobato, one of the forerunners of Brazilian Children's Literature, manages to retain the public while reading the works that make up the universe of Sítio do Picapau Amarelo, because once listening, reading or watching the stories of the São Paulo’s author it is possible for the child, and even even the adult, to enter a fascinating world, permeated with mysteries and surprises, which is attractive to the individual, who can relax. Thus, this text has as general objective to analyze the literary construction of the character Tia Anastácia in the work of Monteiro Lobato, more specifically in Caçadas de Pedrinho and the situations of racism/prejudice by which she suffers. The research used will be bibliographical, since we will not carry out experiments or apply a questionnaire and so we will make an overview of what has already been written about the chosen subject on the importance of early childhood education in the field. As an approach to content analysis, qualitative research, as it exposes the analysis of concepts and ideas. The nature of the work was used as basic, as it understands that it refers to the study aimed at increasing our base of scientific knowledge. The procedures used were the analysis and observation of legal documents, technical standards or regulations, or the verification of resources such as books, reports, as well as a research and literature review of authors who deal with early childhood education and its contributions to education. Monteiro Lobato encourages questioning and critical scrutiny of what children hear or read and encourages children to open their eyes - the Brazilian people - to new hypotheses that their history opens up.
