2.Body

I. Summary:

>Briefly summarize the main points and objectively describe how the creator portrays these by using
techniques, styles, media, characters, or symbols.

II. Critical evaluation

>The section shouid give a systematic and detailed assessment of the different elements of the work,
evaluating how well the creator achieved the purpose through these.

success considering its aim.

>Written in professional academic language and presented coherently.

• Examine the work and assess its success considering its aim.

• Written in professional academic language and presented coherently.

• Start with the general impressions first and then move into the details of the technical elements.

•For shorter critiques, talk about the works strengths first, then their flaws. In lengthy reviews, you might want to break
down the positives and negatives of each important essential question into separate paragraphs.

• You should include evidence from work itself, such as a statement or an example, cite information from similar
sources, and explain how these sources support the work's evaluation.

The Hare and the Tortoise – Narrative criticism
Posted by khchim on February 3, 2012
           

Without the need to question, we all either have read or heard of one of the most memorable short stories in Aesop’s
Fables, The Hare and the Tortoise at one point in our childhood. This story would be classified as a comedy type using Northrop
Frye’s definition because the protagonist, being the tortoise, challenges the authority, represented by the boastful hare, and in
the end prevails.

As the story title literally states, the story is composed of two main characters, the hare and the tortoise, and like every other
story in Aesop’s Fables, there is a clear cut objective involving the means to demonstrate a simple life lesson, “Slow but steady
wins the race”. The stronger features utilized in this story to acknowledge the significance of the lesson are the main characters
chosen for the race and the causal relations. Tortoises as we know are painfully slow while hares are extremely agile and quick.
However, the difference that mattered was the mental characteristics given for the tortoise, calm and confident, in comparison
to the hare’s, a showoff and overconfident in its chances to win. The purpose of grouping these two animals in a race is to
project an impression of impossibility, being that the tortoise would never win against the hare. Oppositely, nearing the end of
the race for the hare, its overestimation in its own abilities causes it to relax and grab a bite, eventually falling asleep. It was
because of the hare’s mistakes that ultimately led to its loss in the race to the finish line against the tortoise that persevered
until the very end. It was because of hare’s carelessness and leisure in comparison to the tortoise’s determination and
confidence that a life lesson was learned and the objective of the narrative successfully achieved, “Slow but steady wins the
race”.
