I have read “the story-teller” and “Raymond’s Run”.
At the end of her aunt's story in The Story-Teller," the older girl asks whether the girl in the story would have been rescued even if she had not been good. What does she seem to think is the theme of her aunt's story? What detail in the aunt's story leads her to think so?
To compare and contrast the Independent Reading selection with "The Story-Teller" and "Raymond's Run," we need to first analyze the theme and supporting details in "The Story-Teller."
The Independent Reading selection you read should be mentioned in your prompt. Since you haven't specified it, it's difficult for me to provide direct comparisons. However, I can guide you through the process of finding and analyzing the theme and evidence in "The Story-Teller," which you can then use to compare it with the other selections you have read.
To determine the theme of "The Story-Teller," we look for the overarching message or lesson conveyed by the author. In this case, we can infer the theme from the older girl's question at the end of the story. She wonders whether the girl in the aunt's story would have been rescued even if she hadn't been good. This suggests that the older girl believes the theme of the aunt's story to be the importance of being good and deserving rescue.
To support this interpretation, we must consider a specific detail in the aunt's story that leads the older girl to think so. It could be a description, an event, or a character's action, for example.
Now, you need to refer to the specific details in "The Story-Teller" that support this interpretation. You should provide at least two pieces of evidence from the story to back up your response.
