Question

Read "The Tortoise and the Hare." What do the characters experience in the story? In a paragraph of at least three sentences, choose either the Tortoise or the Hare and write a PARALLEL PLOT that tells a portion of the story from that CHARACTERS POINT OF VIEW

A Hare was one day making fun of a Tortoise for being so slow upon his feet. "Wait a bit," said the Tortoise; "I'll run a race with you, and I'll wager that I win." "Oh, well," replied the Hare, who was much amused at the idea, "let's try and see"; and it was soon agreed that the fox should set a course for them, and be the judge. When the time came both started off together, but the Hare was soon so far ahead that he thought he might as well have a rest: so down he lay and fell fast asleep. Meanwhile the Tortoise kept plodding on, and in time reached the goal. At last the Hare woke up with a start, and dashed on at his fastest, but only to find that the Tortoise had already won the race.

Answer 1

The Hare was the town bully who always made fun of anyone he thought he was better than. One day when he way making fun of me I challenged him to a race, knowing that he would be too full of himself to win. The Hare started off much faster than me, but halfway through the race I caught him taking a nap under the nearest tree. He woke up well after I had finished the race and was not pleased that a silly, slow tortoise beat him in what he was best at.

Answer 2

From the view point of the Tortoise

Well every body knows that us the tortoise are slow so one day a hare and let me just say he is a fast creature wanted to race me but alot of folks dont know that tortoises are smart. So I came up with a plan and got some help from my friends and family. So while the hare that he had won the race and was ahead of me he took a nap but he was not aware of my plan.I won that race I guess that teaches that prideful little hare lesson.
