- What is a synopsis?
A synopsis is a brief summary of the major points of a subject or written work or story.

4. According to the synopsis of Toy Story, fill in the following chart:

Title

Place

Main characters

Main problem

Toy Story

Andy Davis's room

Andy, Sheriff Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Rex,

Slinky Dog, Mr. Potato Head, Betty, Jam,
Marciano.

In Toy Story specifically, the looming

problem is that the moving van is getting
away while Woodys options for reuniting
with Andy are becoming increasingly
slimmer. When RC Cars batteries run
out, Woody tries to light the rocket with
the match. When the match fails, he uses
Buzzs helmet as a magnifying glass to
light it. The rocket strategy almost
doesnt work either, but just as disaster
seems imminent, Woodys final option is
to trust someone else to be in charge for
once (when Buzz uses his wings to let
them fall with style back to Andy)
-Woody is young Andys favorite toy.
However, he feels replaced when Andy
brings in a new action figure, Buzz
Lightyear.

Compare Woody and Buzz Lightyear

- While both toys are heroic figures, Buzz

has more flashiness to his appearance than
Woody.
-Buzz Lightyear has wings with blinking
lights, a glowing laser beam that comes
out of his wrist. Woody on the other hand,
has a cowboy badge, a hat, and a pull
string attached to his back that causes him
to utter his catch phrases.
