People and Environment - Critique on Stone Soup

The story stone soup talks about there is a village in the mountain that has been through Famine, flood, and war, that is a hard time and that make the villager in there is very hard working but only for themselves, that’s selfish, untrusting and Weary, when the three monks came to the village, they disappeared to home, closed the window, they doesn’t give an answer of the knocking door, and they put off all the candles, the light in the house, to pretend that there are no people in home, or they are all sleeping, they don’t want bothering, every home is like this. The three monks think that they don’t know about happiness, and want to tell them by making stone soup. 



People will always change with their environment. If they live near a school that has many students who like reading books, they will like to read too. If they live with a bunch of children that always ask for money from other people, they will be like them too. In China, there’s a story called Meng’s Mum Moves Three times. It talks about a mother who has a son, first they live near the Cemetery, and Meng learned how to cry, his mom made him move. Then they live near a shop, and Meng learned how to yell, Vegetables, Meat, come here! They moved, at last, they lived near a school, and Meng learned to read books, and he became very famous in China. In the story too. If one lives in a good environment, one will be good too. 


The environment is important to a people, but people can do something to help their environment. Like if we make the trash in the garbage can, the floor will be cleaner. If the environment one lives in is very loud, and makes one feel not very good, very noisy, one can tell other people in his neighborhood to be quiet, and write on a paper and stick it on the wall near the elevator, then others can see and try to be quiet. In the story, the three monks make a stone soup to help the village to be trustworthy, not selfish, they do something to help the environment to change in a better way. People will change with the environment, but people can also help the environment change too. 


A good Environment is made of people, animals, plants and good qualities. The environment will make people better or worse in some ways, but people in the environment can help the environment to be better. A good environment is made of many people’s good qualities, but an not very good environment might be through hard times, or because of External reasons, or people that don’t have very good qualities. If one picks a flower in the garden, some people think that he picks so I can pick too, but if everyone picks a flower in the garden, the garden will have no flower. And that will have no butterflies, no bees.  Some people like to have pets, and the pets will make friends, and that will make a very good environment. The environment will be very Harmonious and beautiful. Every creature and good quality is very important to the environment.  


In conclusion, in the story, it mentioned the environment and the people, the environment has been through many hard times, like flood, famine, and war, so it cause the people in the environment is very untrusting and selfish, the three monks help them, there is a little girl begins to get out a big pot, and people begins to put food in the pot from their home and they became friendly and unite. This tell us about the environment and people. People will always change with their environment. The environment is important to a people, but people can do something to help their environment. The environment is important to a people, but people can do something to help their environment. Everyone of this important.
