Story Review of Pushing up the Sky

Basic elements:

Charcters: Snohomish people

Setting:  The northwest

Plot: The sky is too close

Genre: Play



A long time ago, the sky was very close to the ground, it was so close that people could jump right into it, people who didn't jump really well, could climb trees, and go in the sky too. But, it also caused many problems. People keep hitting their heads on the sky, people lose things, and things get caught in the sky. One day, the chiefs held a meeting, and decided to push up the sky. It wasn’t working, and so they made a signal, and succeeded.


 Helping each other is good for everyone because you can get things done faster, and easier. If there is only one person solving a problem, it will take longer time ; on the other hand, there are many people, it will be faster and easier to solve. In the story, the chief calls all the animals and birds to help with all of their effort, and they finally succeed. I think this is right because when they help each other, they both get benefits and it is worth it. We should help each other: if we do so more often, the world will have fewer problems.


You need the right tool to do something, if we don’t have the right tool to do something, no matter how hard you try to accomplish the task, you will always fail. If you ask many people to help you accomplish the task with the wrong tool, even with many people it won’t work but, if you have the right tool, and you try by yourself, it might work. In the story, the chiefs cut down tall trees to make poles, and push the sky. I think that is right because he is using the right tool, and they are cutting down trees because they need it, the chiefs are not cutting them down on purpose. If we use the right tools, then we will have more materials in the future.


You need a method to keep you organized, because if you want many people to do something at the same time, and you don’t have a method, then some will do it earlier, some would do it later. If you don’t have a method, then you won't be organized, and it will be harder to complete a task ; on the other hand, if you have a method it will be easier to do a task, and you will be more organized. In the story, the seventh chief uses a method, he made a signal so that everyone could push together when he doesn’t have the method, everyone was jabbing their poles randomly. I think that is right, you should have a method for doing something, it will be easier to do something, and it will help you a lot. If everyone had a method for doing something, then the world will become more organized.


A long time ago, the sky was very close, and so people could jump right into it, but it also caused many problems, and so the chiefs, and people decided to push up the sky. We learned three lessons, helping each other, we need the right tool, and we need a method. Also, there are differences between play, and fiction, play has the characters listed down, but fiction doesn’t, also play has scenes, and way more people talking.
