Parable Project Parables, much like fables and allegories, are stories that use characters and events to represent larger principles or ideas

For example… A. Native Americans and Englishmen In Dr. Seuss’ “The Sneetches,” the plain-bellied sneetches represent people who were discriminated against based on physical differences. The star-bellied sneetches represent people who treat others unfairly based on physical differences. Which type of “sneetch” do the following pairs represent? A. Native Americans and Englishmen B. The Nazi Party and Jews C. Tutsi and Hutu D. Englishmen and Africans Hebrews and Egyptians

First, decide on a moral. What lesson do you want readers to take away from your story? The grass isn’t always greener on the other side. Money can’t buy happiness. Kindness is a virtue. / Treat others as you would want to be treated. Patience is a virtue. We can accomplish more together than we ever could apart. Not all things are what they seem to be. Inner strength is gained through adversity. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. It’s better late than never. People often hate in others what they’re not willing to accept about themselves. We always want what we can’t have. Narcissism can lead to self-destruction. Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer. Don’t count your chickens before they hatch. Be careful what you wish for.
