The Boy Who Cried Wolf

The audience for my reimaging tale is people who understand business and politics. This story is indirectly for everyone but the major understanding comes from economic aspects and a dictatorial rule. The way I choose this audience is the same way I choose my theme because the theme of a story changes the "audience”. Also I wanted to make a story for an audience that perceives a short folktale as a larger and more detailed story since the original "The boy who cried wolf" was a moral lesson for children but how about I do reimagining this story but for adults who are sometimes as vulnerable as kids when it comes to money, power and wealth. The theme of my story is exactly the same as the original which is honesty. Honesty is an important value…

An allegory is defined by Merriam-Webster as, “the expression by means of symbolic fictional figures and actions of truths or generalizations about human existence.” Common examples range from, Aesop’s “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” to C.S.

The moral of the Boy who Cried Wolf, although true, can sometimes be twisted around. When I was thirteen, I attended a girl’s camp, perfect for the average girl because it banned the phones, makeup, and fashion, the three things teenage girls dreaded the most. So, with nothing better to do during the long days in camp, we were forced to do the one thing usually reserved for boys- pranking the leaders. I guess a break from phones really did do us well because we were cynical and ingenius in all…

In certain fables you are taught that stealing is bad, this is…

Obviously, they are afraid of coming off as crazy, if not just simply afraid. But I've got to tell someone. Who? I have no doubt my mother would have me committed if I were to tell her what was happening. Should I go to the police? The FBI? Men in Black? Yeah, right. The story of Chicken Little pops into my head. But as far as I…

a REAL wolf prowling about his flock. Alarmed, he leaped to his feet and sang out as loudly as he could, ‘Wolf! Wolf!’ But the villagers thought he was trying to fool them again, and so they didn't come. At sunset, everyone wondered why the shepherd boy hadn't returned to the village with their sheep. They went up the hill to find the boy. They found him weeping. ‘There really was a wolf here! The flock has scattered!’ I cried out, ‘Wolf!’ Why didn't you come?" An old man tried to comfort the…

we were assigned one or two fables to analyze and relate to, I was lucky to be assigned two fables. I had to present the following fables: the ant and the cricket, and the boy who cried “wolf”. These fables were very amusing and short, I never heard of the ant and the cricket, but once I read it I understood and related to the fable. The ant and the cricket is about a little hard-working ant that prepared all summer storing food for the harsh winter. Meanwhile, the careless young cricket sang…
