My 2nd Assignment:

Write one paragraph each for why Jack and the Giant both deserve our sympathy.

I sympathise with the Giant. Though he may be scary, always eating up young English boys who ever stepped into his house, he was also a victim of Jack.He was always saying "Fee-fi-fo-fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman, Be he alive, or be he dead, I'll have his bones to grind my bread" That shows that he does eat englishmen. Everytime Jack went to his house, Jack would steal his precious things like the hen, harp and the bag of gold. He was always fooled by his wife as she thought the young lad was harmless. Even when he wanted to chase the boy, he did not have the chance as while climbing down the beanstalk, Jack used an axe and cut it. Hence, he died without doing anything wrong as eating young english boys is only what we call, one of their source of food. Therefore, I sympathise with him.

I sympathise with Jack. He may be a greedy little boy who always wants more but he was a poor child and it was only normal that he stole things. However,that does not give him an excuse to do so. And he did not know he was being tricked hence his cow was being given away. He even got scolded by his mum for doing that. He deserves our sympathy.
