Annie and Christy in “Relationships”

Annie

[to the class] I know we just started reading "Swiss Family Robinson" today but can anyone tell what they think the moral of the story is?

I think the author is showing us that even though you may not be shipwrecked with your family that all families have to figure a way to get along.

Annie

Yes, good. The author, Johann David Wyss, is telling us that all relationships require a lot of work. Patience, tolerance and love. He wrote this book to teach his own sons life lessons.

If two people fight all the time, they should break up, right?

Annie

Well, yes, if two people are fighting all the time then maybe they shouldn't be together, but you're young.

That's what I think, too. Thanks, Mrs. Camden.
