I recently read the story The Fox with my class. It was an amazing picture book about trust, loss, and forgiveness. Based on a synthesis page I made, I have a lot to say about the Fox. I have analyzed the text and picked out certain details about him to find out more about who he really is.
The first time someone would read The Fox, they would think that he is only a cold, heartless, and empty character. However, there is a deeper meaning to him. What people don't realize at first is that people usually only act like this for a reason, and in this case, something big in the Fox's life must have happened to make him feel and act the way he does. On the inside, the Fox is lonely and wants attention because he is always looking for a friend (Magpie and Dog). He feels pain because no one wants to love him, so he turns on everyone who tries to.
In this picture book, I think the lesson can be applied to life. I think the one of the morals of the story are that you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, meaning that although they were right to not trust him, both Dog and Magpie should have looked at all of his pages. Sometimes, people in your life can be quick to judge, but don't let it stop you! Most importantly, don't judge someone until you truly know who they are!
