Long ago, there lived a man who worked as a humble stonecutter. He was not happy with his job or his
position in life. As he struggled at his work, chipping away at stone, he saw a wealthy merchant pass by and thought, “How I wish I were as powerful and influential as that merchant!” Suddenly, the stonecutter was transformed into a wealthy and powerful merchant. Others now envied him.

One hot day, as the wealthy man walked around the town observing all that he owned, he became annoyed by the strength of the sun’s rays. “How I wish I were as powerful as the sun!” he thought, and suddenly he became the sun, scorching others with his heat and brilliance.

Then one day a dark cloud crossed beneath him. Rain poured down and the wind blew, limiting the sun’s power over others. “How I wish I were as powerful as the storm!” he thought, and he became a storm with rain and wind. People feared his great force, but when he blew against a huge rock, the rock did not move. “How I wish I were as powerful as that rock!” he thought, and in a moment he became the rock.

Not long afterward, he heard a hammering sound and felt a part of himself change. “What could be more powerful than me, the rock?” he wondered. He looked down and saw, much to his surprise and disappointment, that a humble stonecutter was chipping away at him.

Questions:

SKILL PRACTICE: Read each question. Fill in the bubble next to the correct answer.

1. The stonecutter wants to be like the merchant because .... (I PUT D. )
A. he wants to be feared like the merchant
B. the merchant is important
C. the merchant is humble
D. he wants to be envied like the merchant

2. Why is the stonecutter unhappy with each new thing he becomes? (I PUT A.)
A. He always sees something more powerful.
B. He does not like being envied.
C. He wants people to like him.
D. He misses his life as a stonecutter.

3. Which of these is the most powerful in the passage? (I PUT A)
A. the stonecutter
B. the merchant
C. the storm
D. the rock

4. A theme of the passage is that people .... ( I PUT C -idk if its C or B)
A. should always wish for what they want
B. are all powerful in their own way
C. will be happy with whatever they become in life
D. should seek wealth and power

STRATEGY PRACTICE: If the stonecutter had stopped making wishes after he became a merchant, how would it have affected the passage’s theme?

I PUT
" then the stonecutter wouldn't realize that he was powerful and he would probably envy other things"
idk if its right

B. the merchant is important
C. the merchant is humble
D. he wants to be envied like the merchant"


Regarding your answer to this particular question, the "Merchant" is well-known for the wealthiness and degree of power that his role gives him while the Stonecutter's role could be viewed as minimal and unimportant.

"n the passage it says "I wish i were as powerful and INFLUENTIAL as that merchant!"

Exactly, "Influential", that segment is essentially stating that he wants to be recognized enough to the extent of having an influence on other humans, It doesn't necessarily indicate that he wants them to envy him, rather, It could simply mean that he wants a significant degree of recognition.

Absolutely,

"He was not happy with his job or his
position in life."

this statement creates an excellent opportunity for a Compare-Contrast situation because while the "Merchant" is recognized by people and has a very significant position, the main character himself is merely just a "stonecutter" which is a role that can be considered significantly minimal in comparison to the wealthy merchant's influence.

position in life. "

After analyzing the literature carefully, revise your thoughts and choose the answer you consider as the most accurate solution to the question.
