As a child you need to learn what’s
right, and good traits as you’re growing up. The main point of this story is
learning. A child isn’t able to get a toy that he wants because his father says
that he’s spoiled and he wants him to learn respect for money. Instead he’s given something that he doesn’t
really want. After a little bit of time the child grows to love what’s been
given to him. Unintentionally and indirectly, the child learns to care for
something he loves and in order to reach his goal he must do something he
hates. The only reason he does what he hates is for the porcelain pig he receives.
He views the pig as being the calmest, most comforting and the most reliable of
his belongings. Eventually over time, his father checks on everything and
carrying out his original lesson, he promises his son the toy he originally
wanted. The only downside is that it’s at the price of destroying this pig. The
child pleads for one more day and goes off and saves what he holds dear.
In the
way I interpreted this story, I can say that I connect with it. My outlook on
this story was that over time, you change and so do your feelings, thoughts,
and emotions. Additionally it shows that you need to protect what you hold dear
to you, even if it’s from something you’ve done. I relate to this because as a
person I believe that you should do as you feel is right and in the way it’s
displayed it’s something important to do regardless of what might come in the
future.
I see the
author depicting how Israel as well as anything can change. You might want
something, but that’s not something for certain. For instance, in the history
of the Jewish people they always experience such hardships and horrors for who
they are. Even so, they still keep their Judaism no matter how bad everything
gets. Different story, same place for almost every time the Jews leave a
certain place or area.
This story could be depicting the Jews throughout history
and what the end result is.
