Homwork: Thursday, January 21st "The Golden Kite, Silver Wind" Questions

Complete the following questions in response to the short story:

2. What do you think motivates the two towns to engage in the wall building competition? What are the negative effects of the competition on the townspeople?

3. Referring to the kite and the wind, the Mandarin's daughter says, "One without the other is nothing." Explain her statement and her solution to the conflict between the two towns.

5. How can this story be seen as an allegory about the cold war? In other words, what connections do you see between events in the story and the conflict between the United States and Russia? (allegory: A story that has a deeper meaning. It seems simple, but when you think hard about it, you realize that it represents something bigger and more important.)

6. What do you think is the theme of this allegory? That is, what lesson do you think the author Bradbury wanted to teach the people of his day?

  1. 2. I think that when the first wall was built, then the other town was like Oh yeah ! Well look at this wall, and then it kept going on and on.
    This wall building mess had bad effects, by making the town going through an economy breakdown. They stopped almost everything, they did not have food, etc, they were just worrying over how big/tall the walls were.

    3. I think her statement "one without the other is nothing" means that Since their was one Wall in one town it basically set the other town as nothing, so they had to build a wall to be the same, but instead the other town kept building higher and higher and more like intelligent Wall Designs. Her Solution for the towns when she shows them the kites, and then she named her town the golden kite, and theirs the silver, then they agreed to stop and now everything is back to normal.

    3. Like at first a person's reaction would be like oh its just them having fun building walls, But if you think about it, its not only them building walls its them not worrying about their economy and them not worrying about how much food they have. Same thing with the Russia thing, People at first would be like oh their having fun, but enventually if you think about it, it can end up to one country enventually ending.

    6. I think the theme of this story is Either thought you dont got something, you have to worry about whats in your face first.

    2. I think that what motivated the two towns to have the competiton,because of their fear of having the other town look better then the other,for example when the first town saw how their city was built like a pig. And their town was built like a orange. They wanted to build a better looking town then the others.and when they did so the other town felt some type of way.and built another look for their town trying ot compete with the other town.. And it kept going on.
    The negative effects that this competiton had on the two towns was that, their people were dying so their population was getting very low..Also their crops were dying because they was more into building their new shape of their city and paying very low attention to their foods.so they was losing food, money and their population

    3. Her statement "one without the other is nothing"means that even tho the two towns are having a competition with construction.They are not making anything that makes since.So why have a competition when they can build something that can help both of the towns out and they both be satisfy.
    His daughter solution was that when he showed the two towns the idea and explained it to them.they took the idea and everything went back to the way it was..

    5. This story can be a allegory by they way the competition was handled. when they saw how the other town had better stuff then they did, they had to make it better.and like the U.S and the soviet union while they was building things.it was consequences behind everyone..and every one got worst.and then afterwhile somebody stood up and said okay this is retarted lets stop this.

    6. The allegory of this story is people is always gonna have competition even over the stupidest things.and it can always keep going on..
