Question

PLS HELP Which of the following represents a comparison between Hofus in “Hofus the Stonecutter” and the father’s sons in “The Bundle of Sticks”? They were argumentative They were thoughtless They were foolish They were greedy

Answer 1

Hofus-the Stonecutter is a Japanese fable. It illustrates a man who is very much dissatisfied with his life and wants to be Prince. His wishes change time to time and his arguments for what he has never stops. He always dislikes what he is given.

In the same way, the sons in the other story represent the same scenario, and act belligerently with each other. They argue with their father and within themselves.

Moreover, from the above elaboration, it is to be noted that they were all very argumentative.

Answer 2

Answer: They were argumentative.

"Hofus the Stonecutter" tells the story of a Japanese man who wanted to improve his situation. He was a stonecutter, but believed a prince to be more important, so he wished to be a prince. However, unhappy with that situation, he asked to be the sun, then a cloud, then the rocks, and then a stonecutter again. He was argumentative because no matter his situation, he disliked it, complained about it and wished to alter it.

"The Bundle of Sticks" is a fable by Aesop. It tells the story of a group of brothers who are always arguing and fighting, but are taught a lesson in unity by their dying father. Just like the stonecutter, the brothers are argumentative and are always complaining and fighting about their situation.
