One fine day in winter some Ants were busy drying their store of corn, which had got rather damp during a long spell of rain. Pr

esently up came a Grasshopper and begged them to spare her a few grains. The Ants stopped work for a moment, though this was against their principles. They asked what the grasshopper was doing with himself all last summer. The Grasshopper replied, "I was so busy singing that I hadn't the time." "If you spent the summer singing," replied the Ants, "you can't do better than spend the winter dancing." And they chuckled and went on with their work.
Recall the second step in the process to determine theme. In two to three sentences, explain why these events happened in the fable.

the events i chose where, the ants were drying their corn, a grasshopper came up and begged them to spare her a few grains, the ants asked what the grasshopper had been doing all last summer, and the ants didn't give the grasshopper any grains, laughed and continued working

So you would say that the second step in the process was that the grasshopper came up to the ants, correct?

The second step in the process to determine theme is explaining why the events of the story happened. Therefore, you need to explain <em>why</em> the events occurred, not <em>what</em> the events were.

We know that the events are that the grasshopper was cold in winter, and asked for a few grains. We also know that the ants refused to help him. Why was this the case? The reason why these events happened is that the ants worked all summer in order to prepare themselves for winter. On the other hand, the grasshopper spent his time singing, and now has no grain to eat.

Therefore, the theme will look something like this: "It is important to plan for the future." Not doing this is what led the grasshopper to his situation.

Learning something new can be a scary experience. One of the hardest things I've ever had to do was learn how to swim. I was always afraid of the water, but I decided that swimming was an important skill that I should learn. I also thought it would be good exercise and help me to become physically stronger. What I didn't realize was that learning to swim would also make me a more confident person.New situations always make me a bit nervous, and my first swimming lesson was no exception. After I changed into my bathing suit in the locker room, I stood timidly by the side of the pool waiting for the teacher and other students to show up. After a couple of minutes the teacher came over. She smiled and introduced herself, and two more students joined us. Although they were both older than me, they didn't seem to be embarrassed about not knowing how to swim. I began to feel more at ease.<span>

Answer:

Moving to a new place can be tough on anyone, especially if the move is to a new state. At the start of a move you may think that

many aspects of your life will be different and that nothing will be fun ever again. Your surroundings may change, but your good friends

and favorite activities don't have to. You can still maintain your friendships through a variety of technologies: talking on a cell

phone, sending an email, and chatting by video. Technology can help you stay in contact with your friends and keep up on what they're

doing. You can even continue your favorite activities, such as playing soccer. Most towns and cities have their own teams, leagues, or

clubs for popular activities, so you really don't have to give up what you enjoy. Knowing that your friends and activities don't have

to change can help you accept the idea of moving.

Explanation:

Just changing punctuation, adding commas, and a colon :)
