Reaction to The inportant thing in life


Ⅰ. Summary

This is the story a professer talk to his students about life. He compare life to rocks or pebbles or sand.

Ⅱ. Reaction

1.Theme

I think this story's theme is which one is important of own life because things we can do in life are limited as things can fill in jar.

2. Symbolism

The important symbols of this story are rocks and pebbles and sand. The rocks are most important thing in our life. The pebbles are less important thing than rocks in our life. The sand is less important thing than pebble in our life.

3.Point of view

I think things we can procede are limited. We can't procede all things in the same time, and we don't know what have to do at first if we don't decide the order of priority. So the order of prioritys are different each oter, and the answer of the order of prioritys aren't exist. This is my point of view.

4.General Opinion

In my case, my rocks are my family, and my pebble is money, and my sand is my house. For example, if my house were burned by fire, I would run away with my family quickly. Then I  don't have anything else because my family is more important than any money for me.
