Short stories with moral lessons and summary?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A short story with a moral lesson is called a fable. It typically involves animal characters and has a summary at the end revealing what the reader should have learned from the story. One of the most famous authors of fables was Aesop, the Greek figure with whom the Western tradition of fables began.

What changes has Lysandra in Lysandra's poem story?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Lysandra is viewed as strange by her classmates. But then in 7th grade, an opprotunity to change arises in form of a poetry contest. Both she and her best friend enter, and while she writes about life, her best friend writes what she knows will please the judges. When her best friend (Elaine) wins, Lysandra is crushed. She stops speaking to Elaine, and she stops writing.

Four years later, Elaine barely notices Lysandra. She had moved on, but Lysandra hadn't. Elaine was infatuated by a guy, his name was Brett. (He was a bit of a player...) She went out with him for a while. There was a dance, and Brett asked her to go with him. She had to work until 9:00 the night of the dance, so she told him she'd meet him there. But when she got there, she saw Brett and Lysandra dancing a slow dance together. Her heart was broken.

When Brett and Lysandra stopped dancing, he at least had the decency to go find Elaine and dance with her for the remainder of the evening, but something had changed, and they both knew it. The next day, Brett broke up with her, without giving a reason.

He followed Lysandra around all spring, until the day after the formal graduation dance, when she told him she was tired of him and they broke up. Lysandra knew that she had been successful with her revenge, and she began to write again. And Brett? He moved away in the fall of that year, because his dad didn't like the climate or something.

Twenty years later, there was a class reunion. Brett came back for it. He was stout, balding, and married. Lysandra didn't attend.

Lysandra's dream of being a writer did come true, and she published 7 volumes and won 2 national awards. But her writing showed that she had not yet let go of the past. She wrote dark, bitter poetry that left the mind reeling with the blackness of the images it portrayed.

What is the mood and tone for the monkey's paw?

The monkey's paw has a supernatural theme running throughout. The tone is dark and spooky and does have a tragic streak too. With a touch of irony, being, the wishes they made, made them more worse off. I take that it's for an essay so just expand on these ideas, add quotes to support and you'll be away!

Hope this helps :) did it last year.

Read the story and think about it. What made you want to keep reading the story? What parts made you worry about what might happen? A writer creates suspense by making a reader care what is going to happen to the characters. How did this writer make you care about the characters in this particular story? How did he mke you wonder what was going to happen next? If you don't think the writer created suspense, just explain why in your answer. If you need help, ask your teacher -- after you've read the story.

What is an alliteration in the monkeys paw?

Asked by Wiki User

The conflict, as far as I'm concerned, is that the monkey's paw inflicted a "curse" for every wish you made. The money came with the price of the son"s life or something, bringing the son back to life made him a zombie or something like that.

People wish for things --- but get what they wish for! The old couple wishes for money and get a huge settlement for the death of their son. The wife wishes for her son to return to them --- and the corpse knocks at their door.
