Jack and The Beanstalk

Jack deserves my sympathy because he has led a poor life when he was a young boy. He had to live on only cow milk. But one day, they decided to sell the cow for it did not produce any milk. In turn for the cow, a man gave Jack a few strange looking beans which were said to grow right up to the sky. Indeed, they did, and these beans changed Jack’s life. However, this made Jack greedy, for every trip he goes up the beanstalk, he will return with something valuable and it would be sold for money. "and Jack made up his mind to try his luck once more at the top of the beanstalk" and "Well, Jack was not content, and it wasn't long before he determined to have another try at his luck up there at the top of the beanstalk." Shows that Jack was not satisfied with what he had; he was greedy. However, this does not change my view; I still sympathize with Jack as his intention was to help his mum and him to overcome their financial problem.

The ogre also deserves my sympathy because his coins, golden hen and his golden harp were stolen by Jack even though he did Jack no wrong and even ended up getting killed by Jack. These items were rightfully his and it was right of him to retaliate as Jack had absolutely no right to take them without permission. I feel for him as I think it was a wronged death, not counting the fact that he had taken the lives of many innocent young boys to satisfy his hunger. Thus, I think that the ogre deserves my sympathy too.
