Hope for the flowers

PHILO 2 TFR 2:30-4:00

A tale partly about life, partly about revolution and about hope is something kind a general and shallowly standard story to think of it in first. But as the story figuratively moves and builds up, the idea gradually wipe outs. The story that is lovable to children actually grants the older ones the concern to think of the story’s objectives, as well as the perception how well the story can be continued.

As the story fills up more in a caterpillar state, I can say that the cycle purports to be in a cycle of a caterpillar not as usual the cycle of a butterfly. Because as Stripe was born, his aim was only to grow bigger, but as soon as he wonders that there must be more to life, then he seeks for more satisfactions and purpose in life, being in a caterpillar form where he had really no idea of becoming a beautiful butterfly someday. Just like in our childhood, we are very innocent what can life offer to us. What the world had already showered upon us, thinking only about happiness and all the good forms in life we can do.

Days go by and by and time passes, we grow older and older and we have a particular goal in life: to gain success, to reach the top. We dream to be someone someday. Just like Stripe, looking around, getting his curiosity work, he found the pile of caterpillars. Even though nobody knows what exactly is up there, it must be faith that made him join to that challenging and unsure undertaking. Learning to compete with others as Stripe climbs up the top is also truly the nature of humans to satisfy ourselves. We ought to do it and sometimes in bad ways. But consequences are there, we learn from it. And eventually, we could not notice but there was always something on us that has changed.

Along the way up the pile, Stripe meets a caterpillar that has the big doubt of what could possibly be out there. He felt awful to her not knowingly why.

    In the essay "The Death of the Moth" Virginia Woolf shows us a traditional battle between life and death. I think that all of us are moths at some points in our lives. We do something without thinking and results. The life is a journey towards death. That's why we should stop sometimes and think. Or everything will go through us and will finish nowhere. I think that this is a symbolism in Virginia Woolf's story about the moth.…

    On my 12th birthday I was given one of my favorite books, the original Grimm's Fairy Tales, as a present from my aunt. I have been a big reader as long as I can remember so I was used to getting books as presents. This book was special. It was the first leather bound book I had ever owned, with its gorgeous blue cover and beautiful gold filigree. It felt special before I even opened the cover. Once I dug in and started to read the stories it opened up a whole new world to me. Receiving the original Grimm's Fairy Tales was a significant literacy experience for me because it inspired me to learn about history, to be more creative, and instilled a love of old stories and books.…

    “When the Caterpillar asks Alice, “Who are you,” and Alice can barely stammer out a reply, “I--hardly know”” (Frey). Many times she did not know the answer to that question. Although as Alice kept going on her journey she realized a lot of things. Alice was still so young she did not know much about maturity. As Trudi Van Dyke said, “Alice’s Struggle with obtaining a greater maturity about herself and society is also evidence in her insecurity about her identity” (Van Dyke). As Alice saw that responsibilities came along with the actions she took in the garden, also came consequences. The things she would do, only a young child…

    Becoming the butterfly was the final goal of the caterpillar, as much as having Judy was Dexter’s greatest desire. Judy was every man’s greatest desire, yet she was rude, spoiled, and self-centered. Because being a butterfly was the caterpillar’s life’s climax, Judy represents desire that is not worth striving for, and becoming the butterfly is achieving maximum happiness. The butterfly and Dexter both gained the requirements to met their goals but Dexter’s desire for Judy was proved to be in vain .…

    Many people read books, and they perceive truths and realize ideals from them. In turn, readers are given to discussions about the topic of a book they recently finished, or they may recommend to other people books that made a strong impression on them. Why do people regard some books as important and make them into a guidebook for their lives? The reason is that books enlighten people and teach them essential things they need to carry out, understand, or enjoy their lives. Nevertheless, it is not true that all people like all books; in other words, a good story has something special, often its central characteristics, such as the plot or the theme. These are the indispensable features of a good story because these features have to be well harmonized to create a reading experience beloved by their readers.…

    Every one leads and lives a different life with different ambitions, motivators and causes. These personal values, while crucial to our survival and growth, makes it difficult to obtain progress smoothly. Milton Constance explains that our lives can be summarized as a fable or short story. "Personal reality is giving meaning to imaged multidimensional experiences" (Constance, 2006). This may sound simple or foolish but it is the foundation of our learning. For centuries, we have been taught by fables, folklore and myths. The fables stay the same but the storyteller and listener changes can explain why the story is spoken and received differently.…
