1. Identify and
explain the meaning of a symbol in the story in a complete sentence.
The gold
bubbles symbolized gold, and richness, but the green bubbles symbolized
evilness.
2. State the
theme and defend it in a paragraph.
The theme of
the story is that no one really is who it seems to be. You have to get to know
the person to judge them. You can’t judge a book by its cover.
3. Describe the
main internal and external conflict.
Pumpkin Seed
has the main internal conflict because she didn’t want to marry the snake. However,
her mom convinced her to and that is the external conflict.
4. Compare the
lesson learned in this story to a similar lesson you or someone you know has experienced.
Once I met a
really ugly boy, none of my friends liked him. But because we were neighbors,
we had to talk. My mom told me that he was really nice and convinced me to go
to play with him. When I really met him, I found out that he was kind, polite
and really funny. That taught me that I everybody deserves a chance to be
judged.
5. Compare the
symbol in this story to a similar lesson you or someone you know has
experienced.
Another symbol
for richness besides gold and jewels is your heart. If you are rich, but your
heart is not, then you don’t worth anything. Your heart is more important than
all the richness you can obtain.
6. Compare the
struggle to a similar struggle you or someone you know has experienced.
Arranges
marriages like the one between the Snake and Pumpkin Seed are going on nowadays
in the world. Some of them go well, but some of them don’t. That is why I think
that everybody should decide who they want to be marry with.
