The Spider's Thread Activity
DISCUSSION DIRECTOR:
Plot:
On this day, Kandata lifted his head by chance and saw a silver spider’s thread slipping down
toward him from the high heavens. Kandata grasped the thread tightly in his two hands and
began to climb up and up with all his might.
Characters:
-Kandata
-Buddha
-Sinners
Conflict:
Kandata blinked his eyes at them with his big mouth hanging foolishly open in surprise and
terror. How could that slender spider spider’s thread which seemed as if it must break with him
alone, ever support the weight of all those people? If it would break in mid air, even he himself
would have to fall headlong back to Hell.
So Kandata cried out in loud voice. “Hey, you sinners! This thread is mine. Who gave you
permission to come up it? Get down! Get down!”\
Theme:
-ESCAPE
-DEATH
-GOOD VERSUS EVIL
Settings:
-Paradise
-bottom of Hell
-deep forest
Character Captain:
1. Kandata- Kandata was a notorious thief who had performed murder and arson and other acts of evil.
But Kandata made a one good deed, because while he walking through the deep forest, he saw a spider
crawling along the road. At first he raised his foot to crush it, but suddenly he changed his mind and
stopped. Even Kandata made a good thing. He did not made it to escape from the hell because he
performed acts of evil.
Literary Luminary:
4. Spiders Thread
-Buddha used it as a rope to help Kandata to get out away the depths of hell.
Connector:
Buddha is powerful. I connect him to God because Buddha has some descriptions in the story
that is same to the description of our God.
I can connect Kandata to my cousin,but I don't need to mention his name. Kandata and my cousin's
attitude is a little bit the same. If Kandata is selfish, my cousin is selfish also. If Kandata did a good
thing once , my cousin have a good side not like Kandata because he only did one good thing.
Stealing things to other people is also an attitude of Kandata and my cousin also do that sometimes,
he's not asking permission to get anything from his sister.
