- Exaggerated: The duck has 50 ducklings trailing behind her.
- Inverted: The ducklings walk ahead of the mother duck.
- Justified: The ducklings imprint on their mother, so she can protect them and better teach them how to be, well, ducks.
- Subverted: The duck appears and crosses the street by herself.
- Double Subverted: But then several ducklings cross the street when she calls to them.
- Deconstructed:
- Reconstructed:
- Parodied:
