Comparing This Goldfish, Wife's Tale, And The Interlopers

Diversity is said to make us unique and beautiful, yet too often it creates the ugliest conflicts. History will tell us more often than not that fundamental components of human life (race, religion, politics, culture, etc) are the root of many conflicts. Yet, people seem to make our discrepancies seem praiseworthy, and that we must accept them wholeheartedly. Although acceptance is crucial in forming a more empathetic society, it is important to recognize that one’s willingness to accept others is shaped by their past experiences and upbringing.

In conclusion, two people can be a lot alike, even if they don't know each other. Both men had many things in common even though they went through different situations. If Ulrich and Zaroff had known each other they may have worked together and been unstoppable. Both men suffered in the end and no one knew what they had been doing, and the few that did know were dead. This shows that what goes around comes around and that bad people get punished for what they do even if no one knows

The story follows young Yonatan, as he tries to document people’s responses to a simple question. Along the way he meets a man named Sergei, and this is where acceptance comes up. Sergei is very irritated by the young and ecstatic boy when he shows up to his doorstep. Sergei being very weary of people who knock on his door, does not accept or tolerate Yonatan, and tries to get him to leave his home when Yonatan was showing respect to him and being very kind. When Yonatan enters his home without his permission, Sergei kills him on accident. Then Sergei's magical fish offers to revive Yonatan in exchange for being set free, this forced him to become tolerant of the young boy, and make a selfless decision.

Irony also plays a big part in understanding the concept of the story. Without Saki’s ironic ways readers would not get a clear idea of what the moral is after reading the novella. As To begin, Georg and Ulrich are fighting over land, which in the outcome is the cause of their death. In the beginning they had the intentions of searching across the useless spurs in hopes of gunning down a human rival. All along the only foe that they truly had was within the nature that was surrounding them. Saki ended the story with one word; “wolves.” It is not directly stated if Georg and Ulrich were eaten by the beasts, but that one word creates a mysterious vibe that makes the reader wonder if either of their crew ever made it in time to help them in time to fight

The story shows how selfishness and greed can lead to peril and consequence. The greedy motives of Ulrich and Georg lead them to be put in harm's way. After realizing there is no escape, Ulrich says, “Neighbor, if you will help me to bury the old quarrel, I—I will ask you to be my friend” (Saki 86). Desperately trying to preserve their lives the main characters look past their selfishness. Each finally seeing the other as equal, they agree to aid each other. However, the common saying “to little, too late” becomes all to present. Just as they believe help has finally come, they are instead greeted by a pack of hungry wolves. This is a problem that would have been avoided if the family feud hadn’t lead them to become enemies hunting for each other on the woodland

To begin with, in the text, “What, of This Goldfish Would You Wish”, the author, Etgar Allen, does show some acceptance. On line 55, Keret states, “Sergei Goralick doesn’t much like strangers banging on doors.” Sergei is a sensitive and irritable man who does not want to be bothered. When Yoni knocked on his door and barged in (“Until one day some kid with a ring in his ear...comes knocking. Hard like that rapping on his door.” Lines 69-70) Sergei was very annoyed and did not want to speak

The short story “What, of this goldfish, Would You Wish?’ is a emotive short story

Do you really think people in our society today accepts everyone even after they have met them? The book "Of Mice and Men" shows society does not accept anyone they are unfamiliar with. Most people do not accept different, but there are others here in our society that actually accept these unfamiliar people. Some people are here to help you through life and some are not.

People are rejected every day, sometimes based purely on how they look or act. In today’s society, it is quite common for people to be refused, if they decide to be different. In ‘Edward Scissorhands’ Edward is looked at as though he is a monster because of the fact

Initially after being pinned to the tree both men plan to continue their feud, “we fight this quarrel out to the death,” (Saki , 1919). Both Georg and Ulrich tell each other that the other will be killed when their men come to rescue them. However, both man knew that there was a chance that their men would not arrive first and they would be killed. The reconciliation begins when Ulrich feels bad for Georg, “he looked across with something like a throb of pity to where his enemy lay,” (Saki, 1919). Ulrich offers Georg some wine to drink, and then states that their feud was stupid and he is ashamed of how long it has gone on. Georg and Ulrich realize that their feud was stupid and has gone on for too long, and decide to forgive each other. As the men discuss how they are ashamed and their new friendship, they hear and see a pack of wolves racing toward

Some humans can’t accept difference. Most humans are locked up in a world where everyone has to be just like them. The novel Downsiders by Neal Shusterman is an example of this. The novel has the theme that when people separate into groups and cultures, they have a hard time understanding the opposite and tend to judge. But those who accept, benefit greatly.

In The Interlopers the theme is based on a feud between two families. The feud is based on an argument over a strip of forestland. The hatred that has developed because of this feud has become quite serious with both Ulrich von Gradwitz and Georg Znaeym having murderous thoughts

This fiction tale is that of a diary of the narrator herself as she is kept by her husband.

Once upon a time in the sea there was a beautiful place called finlandia with very nice people and the king and queen were always so giving and nice and thoughtful. They all had beautiful house but all unique in a certain way. The school wasn't very far the fish didn't have to swim that far to get to school and back home. There was a certain little fish who stuck out over all and his name was Goldie. Goldie was very special he had scale that were so bright everyone could see them. They were so beautiful too.

We choose to imitate certain individuals whose beliefs we associate with more than others. More likely than not, the individuals we choose to imitate are our close relatives; they often have a bigger impact on our mentality than someone merely acquainted with us. Because we are raised with them frequently present in our lives, we tend to inherit the same qualities and interests, allies and enemies. Ulrich Van Gradwitz and Georg Znaeym were brought up by separate families who share “a long series of poaching affrays and similar scandals [that] had embittered the relationships between the families for three generations,” (Saki 6). The way they choose to view each other— Georg as a petty “forest-thief and game-snatcher” (8), and Ulrich as a greedy landowner— is not a result of one’s wrongdoing against the other, but rather an ongoing hatred for each other’s families. Instead of burying the old quarrel alongside their grandfathers, certain individuals in their families chose to continue it, and now, “Ulrich had come to be head of his family” and “Georg Znaeym, the inheritor of the quarrel,” (7 emphasis added). Like their family members before them, Ulrich and Georg choose to continue the feud because neither is willing to denounce their family’s name,
