Reading Diary A: Aesop (Winter) Unit

Unit Aesop (Winter) Unit

As I read through the stories in the first half of this lesson, I noticed a lot of similar lessons. I noted the individual lessons under each link to the specific story. But the similar lesson was about vanity. Vanity is something that can be a big problem, especially subconsciously. I do not believe most people intentionally become vain, But it happens to everyone at some point and sometimes people just need to be brought back to reality.

The Tortoise and the Ducks
-Foolish curiosity and vanity often lead to misfortune

The Eagle and the Jackdaw
-Dont let your vanity make you overestimate your powers.

The Gnat and the Bull
-The smaller the mind the greater the conceit

The Owl and the Grasshopper
-Do not let flattery throw you off your guard against an enemy
