Answer:

The tale about the fish is a metaphorical story that Dorothea used to talk about Joe and his need to stop his 'tunnel-vision’ and focus on things around him too. Joe thought playing with Dorothea will be 'different' and would make him famous and rich, but that wasn't the case. He was still the same Joe, riding the same subway, leading the same life. In fact, nothing ever changed, which confused him.

Explanation:

The Pixar movie "Soul" is not only a beautiful animated movie but also a deeply thought-provoking movie dealing with existentialism and the importance of one's life aims.

In the movie, Joe Gardner was and his only goal was to play alongside the famous jazz artist Dorothea Williams. And in this desire, he forgot to think of his other relationships, be it with friends or families. His sight was just a one-way tunnel, with Dorothea at the end of the tunnel.

When Dorothea told him about the fish, she is using a metaphorical tale to tell Joe about how it is important to be aware of the surroundings. Joe had believed that playing with Dorothea will be 'different, but when he actually played for her and he felt nothing different or 'great', he was confused. He did not even know how or what to do next after he had 'achieved' his goal. So, Dorothea's story is about Joe and his tunnel vision that blinded him to other things around him.

Answer:

The rest of my story

Explanation:

After about an hour or two, the phone rang and Charlee answered it and after about two minutes of silence Charlee said: “Ok thanks I will let you know after our talk.” Jackson ran out of the house and to Carter’s house (his best friend). He knocked on the door and when no one came to the door he knocked louder and louder until Carter’s mom came to the door. Jackson said, “Is Carter there I need to talk to him.” Carter’s mom nodded her head and pointed to Carter’s room. Before Jackson went into his room he knocked and said: “Can I come in?” Carter said “Sure.” Jackson sat down on his bed and he put his chin in his hands and said: “I have done something so terrible and I need help.”  

Carter then said, “Hey I’m here if you ever need me.” Jackson said “Yeah I know. That’s why I always come to you.” They smiled at each other and Carter then said: “But I really need to know what you did so horribly wrong.” Jackson looked up and said “Ok but you have to promise not to tell anyone.” Carter said, “Ok I promise.” Jackson then told him the story about what had happened during the day and when Jackson got done telling the story Carter was spellbound and said, “Dude, what are you going to do?” Jackson replied with a sigh and said, “I don’t know what to do. That’s why I came to you so you could help me. You can, can’t you?” Carter then was the one who needed to sigh and he said: “I don’t k...”

Jackson cut him off before he was finished and he said, “Fine I’ll do it myself.” Carter said, “Yeah, and what’s that?” And Jackson said, “First I have to get rid of him.” He pointed to across the road to his house and Carter was like “Ok but don’t say I didn’t tell you.” Jackson said, “Thanks anyway for Nothing.” Jackson then ran across the road without looking and a truck almost ran him over Jackson then flipped the truck driver the middle finger and said, “HEY WATCH WHERE YOUR GOING.”  

When Jackson went back to his house he went to the drawer and found a kitchen knife and he went to find his dad when he couldn’t find him he then went to his room to lay down and he put the knife under his pillow and that was when he heard the loud banging on the door. He went to the door and that was when the 4 people came bursting through the door and put him in a chokehold and dragged him out the door and threw him in the back of the dark blue van.  

This is all I have wrote. Hope this helps and hope you win!!
