Question

I don't really understand this thing.. could someone help? im horrible at english lol

Answer 1

The Ants and the Grasshopper

One fine day in winter some Ants were busy drying their store of corn, which had got rather damp during a long spell of rain. Presently up came a Grasshopper and begged them to spare her a few grains. The Ants stopped work for a moment, though this was against their principles. They asked what the grasshopper was doing with himself all last summer. The Grasshopper replied, "I was so busy singing that I hadn't the time." "If you spent the summer singing," replied the Ants, "you can't do better than spend the winter dancing." And they chuckled and went on with their work.



Recall the first step in the process to determine theme. Summarize at least three events that happened in the fable.

Answer 2

The first step to finding theme is watching how the main character changes...If I remember correctly

Answer 3

One event could be the ants were drying there corn after a rain spell

Answer 4

Another event could be a grass hopper came along and asked for some food from the ants

Answer 5

and the last one could be the ants told the grass hopper he (or she) had been singing all summer long and had plenty of time to gather there own food.

Answer 6

Hope that helped a little bit!

Answer 7

@MasterStudy thank you(: do you happen to know the other two steps to determine the theme?

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10

@MasterStudy yeah do you want me to post them here?

Answer 11

sure go ahead

Answer 12

1. Why did these events happen in the fable?
2. Recall the final step in the process to determine theme—use the events that happened in the fable and why they happened to infer the theme. Writing in complete sentences, identify the theme.

Answer 13

The first event happened because it rained. The second even happened because the grasshopper was hungry. And the third event happened because the grass hopper spent all summer singing

Answer 14

Going out on a limb for this one.....The theme of this fable was Time flies by so use it wisely.....
