In Part A of Aesop's Fables, I really took notice of the "take-away" messages of each fable. These were the most important part for me in the stories. Each and every one of these fables were short, simple, and very strong in delivering the messages they planned to give.
However, there were two takeaway messages in the "Hares" fables that I particularly took interest in. The story of "The Hares and the Frogs" by Jacobs delivered the message that "there is always someone worse off than yourself". When thinking about the comparison in terms of feedback, I realized that this was a message that was important to think about. When rewriting this story, I would like to incorporate this message in a more positive way because the wording currently is very negative. The story of "The Hares and the Frogs" by Crane delivers the message that "our own are not the only troubles" and this is a mentality that I feel like we often forget. We all have our troubles, but we never take the time to realize that people around us are going through similar things.
I would like to come up with my own fables that utilize this message in some way. I will still keep the aspect of simple characters and plot line, but give a more human characteristic to the story so that other readers can relate.
