What is the author’s purpose
Were the details of the story clear
Do you think the story achieved its purpose
Paragraph 3: Your opinion about the story
However, while the moral of the story is clear, the actions of the king seemed pointless to me, because none of the characters in the story learnt anything. For this reason, I think there are better stories that can be used to impress upon people the need for personal responsibility.
