Aesop’s “The Hare and the Tortoise,” but from the Perspective of a Timorous Spectator
8
By Emily Quintanilla
This short story was a piece I completed for my Freshman Seminar. The goal of the assignment was to change the point of view of a well-known story. I decided to recreate “The Tortoise and the Hare” from the perspective of Timmy, an insecure tortoise. Timmy is extremely pessimistic because he knows better than anyone that tortoises are slow and unlikely to win a race against a hare. However, he ultimately finds inspiration in Tortoise’s unexpected win. I was inspired by children’s books and the original fable. I feel this story aligns with their messages and simplicity. plain 2020-11-30T12:31:22-08:00 34.0522342, -118.2436849Emily Quintanilla
