INTERPRETING THEME VARIETY OF FABLES

CONNECTION WE HAVE LEARNED ABOUT THE CHARACTERISTICS OF FANTASY. BY UNDERSTANDING THE STRUCTURE OF FANTASY AND ANALYZING THE CHARACTERS IN A FANTASY, WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY ITS THEME, OR WHAT THE AUTHOR WANTS US TO LEARN.

TEACHING POINT TODAY WE WILL IDENTIFY EXAMPLES OF PROVERBS IN ORDER TO INTERPRET THE THEMES. PROVERBS ARE SHORT STATEMENTS OF A GENERAL TRUTH. IT IS A PHRASE OR SAYING THAT GIVES ADVICE IN AN OBSCURE WAY. FOR EXAMPLE, “ABSENCE MAKES THE HEART GROW FONDER.” THIS SAYING MEANS THAT WHEN WE ARE WITHOUT SOMETHING, OR SOMEONE, OUR DESIRE OR WANT FOR IT GROWS STRONGER. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOUR BEST FRIEND MOVED AWAY AND YOU WERE NOT ABLE TO SEE HIM/HER FREQUENTLY, YOU WOULD PROBABLY REALLY MISS THE INTERACTIONS YOU HAD AND REALLY WISH THAT YOU COULD LIVE IN THE SAME PLACE AGAIN. KNOWING THAT, WHAT ADVICE CAN YOU GAIN FROM THIS PROVERB? I THINK IT WOULD BE NOT TO TAKE FOR GRANTED THOSE THAT YOU CARE FOR. YOU SHOULD APPRECIATE THE TIME YOU ARE GIVEN WITH THEM.

LET’S READ A FABLE “THE BUNDLE OF STICKS” AS I READ, LISTEN TO SEE IF YOU CAN IDENTIFY A PROVERB. THEN WE WILL DISCUSS ITS MEANING IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND THE THEME. DID ANYBODY HEAR AN EXAMPLE OF A PROVERB? WHAT DOES THIS PROVERB MEAN? IT MEANS THAT WHEN ONE PERSON DOES SOMETHING ALONE THEY USUALLY AREN’T AS SUCCESSFUL AS THEY WOULD BE IF THEY COMPLETED THE TASK TOGETHER. WHAT ADVICE DOES THIS OFFER US (THEME)?. WE CAN LEARN THAT WORKING TOGETHER WITH OTHERS IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN WORKING ALONE.

NOW LISTEN TO “THE FOX AND CROW” AND ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS. “WHAT DOES THE PROVERB MEAN? WHAT ADVICE DOES THIS OFFER US?” PROVERBS PROVIDE UNIVERSAL TRUTHS AND WHEN WE TAKE TIME TO THINK ABOUT THEIR MEANING. WE LEARN LESSONS ABOUT HOW WE CAN LIVE OUR LIVES.

LINK TODAY WE LEARNED THE MEANING OF PROVERBS. WE DISCUSSED HOW UNDERSTANDING PROVERBS CAN GIVE US AN INSIGHT INTO HOW WE SHOULD/COULD LIVE OUR LIVES. AS YOU READ, BE COGNIZANT OF PROVERBS YOU MAY ENCOUNTER. THINK ABOUT WHAT THEY MEAN AND WHAT LESSONS YOU MAY LEARN FROM THEM.
