This story is about a big scary monster who lives at the top the hill. In this story the big scary monster finds joy in scaring all the other animals that live at the bottom of the hill. Eventually the animals seemed to have disappeared and so the monster wonders what is going on. He decides to explore, when he does all of the animals turn against the big scary monster and scare him. The monster is very upset by this and runs away. After this the monster realizes that the feelings he felt when the animals scare him is how the animals feel when he scares them. They then decide to live in harmony. This story reminds me of the Grinch and the Who's in Whoville. The Grinch likes to Steal Christmas and scare all of the Who's in a Whoville, as the story progresses we find out why the Grinch hates Christmas and why he wants to scare people. After events take place the Who's and the Grinch can live in harmony. Therefore, the story of the Big Scary Monster and the Grinch seem to be very similar.… (more)
