Sample Review
“The Stone in the Road” is an old fable about a king who thinks his people are lazy, so he puts a large stone in the middle of the road and hides and waits to see if anyone will try to move it.
The author used this story to impress upon readers the need to take personal responsibility for problems in the community. The story was quite successful in achieving its purpose, and I liked it because it had a clear moral.
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.
The Story Review about The Stone in the Road
I must do something.
Something must be done.
Greatness is forged in the ordinary. 平凡铸就伟大
Heroes come from the people. 英雄来自人民
Every person is remarkable. 每个人都了不起！
