The story of “The Barrington Bunny,” by Martin Bell, was immensely sad, and I had a hard time finding the lesson attached to it. Was the lesson that it is better to give than receive? Or perhaps that one life can change the lives of many others, or is the lesson that one must appreciate the gifts that they are given, and use them to help others? The story is written in a style that seems geared towards children, but i don't think i would want to read it to mine. I think the message was lost on me. I don’t understand why the bunny must give his life to learn a lesson.Was this story about the ultimate sacrifice, or friendship? The symbolism within the text is strong, and each character and action have a heavy weight attached to them. But ultimately, i just found the story to be sad.
