HW : The Ant and Grasshopper.

Do you think the message in Maugham's story is the same as or different from the message in the Aesop fable of the ant and the grasshopper? Explain.


   I do not think the message in Maugham's is different from the message in the Aesop fable of the ant and the grasshopper. Obviously, there are differences between the two stories. However basically the main message that the authors wanted to provide the readers is same. In my opinion, they wanted to say to not be lazy and be responsible people. If we live like the grasshopper and Tom, we could affect on the people around us. The most important thing we should remember from these stories is that be a responsible person and consider and respect the people around us.
