Hello (:
Next assignement, Jack and The Giant. :D

- Write a paragraph each for why both Jack and the Giant deserve our sympathy.

I symapthise with Jack as he led a very poor life with a widowed mother and a cow, Milky-White whose milk is depended on for a living. Despite the tough life, Jack remains hardworking and determined to find ways to earn more money. This has given him a positive appearance in the story. However, Jack also has his greedy side. When a funny old man wanted to trade Milky-White with a number of strange-looking beans which was said to be magical, he immediately accepted the offer without thinking twice about it. That is one of the reasons which gave away his greediness. The other reason is when Jack managed to enter the Giant's house. He always took advantage of the Giant and stole the Giant's belonging one at a time. When Jack managed to get away with the bag of gold the first time, he was not satisfied with it. He went up to the Giant's house for the second and third time, each time stealing one of the Giant's valuables. Even though Jack resorted to stealing, I feel that he is stealing in order to support his mother and himself. This shows how determined he is to get money. This has caused me to sympathise him.

I sympathise with the Giant as he was taken advantage of by Jack. Just because he wanted to retrive his stolen valuables, he fell to his death as Jack had chopped the beanstalk into half. I think that this is very unfair for the Giant as he did not do anything to hurt Jack or his mother. He only wanted his valuables back but instead, he died and left his wife, a widow. However, the passage states that the Giant likes to eat boys. I cannot blame the Giant for liking boys as meals as that might be his nature. In conclusion, I sympathise the Giant as he fell to his death when he tried to retrive his stolen valuables.

THE END (:
