The selfish giant.
1. Give evidences that show the giant was selfish.
The evidences that show the giant was selfish are when he was so annoyed seeing the children play in his beautiful garden so hescolded them in a very gruff voice and chased them angrily. Because of his action, the children were so frightened and they all ran away leaving the garden. Besides, the giant said to the children that he will allow nobody but only himself to enter the garden because the garden is only belongs to him and he decided to build a high wall around the garden so that when the children were coming from school, they couldn't enter and play in his large lovely garden anymore. The giant also put up a notice-board that says ‘trespassers will be prosecuted’.

2.What are the messages that you get from the story?
The messages that i get from the story are we don’t need to be selfish towards anybody. For instance, the giant get angry when the children play in his garden but he should feel glad instead because his beautiful garden became an attraction to the children. Next, we should share the happiness together. In this story, we could see that the giant didn't want to share his happiness with the children and he wanted to enjoy his garden all alone but after the children are no longer play in the garden, the garden became gloomy and covered with snow for a long time. He realized his mistake and was very sorry for what he had done. Then, spring arrived after he started let the children play in his garden.

3.Were you surprised with the ending? Why or why not.
Yes, I was surprised with the ending. It is because I thought that the giant will get a very bad punishment because of his selfishness and will never change to be a better human being but at the end of the story he realised that he made a mistake and was very sorry for the things he had done towards the kids. He became a very kind-hearted giant and loved to see the children happy playing in his beautiful garden until he grew old. I never imagined that he could said that the children are the most beautiful flowers of all and I was surprised when the boy who once received a help from the giant came back to take him to the garden of Paradise as a reward.
