In literacy , we have been identifying issues and dilemmas in different stories. Issues can be defined as an important topic or problem for debate or discussion. A dilemma is a situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two or more alternatives.
As a class, we have looked at a mystery box, Pandora’s box, Mr Fox and the story of the Balaclava boys.
My favourite part of the week was when we had to write a diary entry about Pandora’s box. Pandora receives a wedding gift, and she was told not to open the box. Pandora ignored them and opened the box. The box was full of terrible evils such as:- poverty, disease, jealously and misery, sadness and death. Pandora opened the box again and out come hope. It fluttered around the room and put an end to all the misery.
I enjoyed writing my entry.
