Reading Notes, Part B: The Grasshopper and the Ant

(Grasshopper: photo by dorth1)

I enjoy stories like this though I don't know if it'll be fun writing it. I think I want to change up the main characters though I like the idea of keeping them small like bugs. I hoped that the end would go exactly as it did! Even though that's sad that his friend died, it's realistic. I think realistic stories hold more weight. I might edit out a step or two because it gets quite boring reading the same thing over and over again.

I might also deviate totally from the story line and just have my main character ask help from a couple beings and then help him himself. I think I'll keep the death and the moral lesson at the end the same though.
