My reflection on The North Wind and the Sun

1.) Describe the different pesonalities of the North Wind and the Sun.
The North wind seems to think that he can win the battle by using force as a method of strength. He thinks he can win simply because he has a better advantage of using the forceful winds to brush the mans cloak off. However, the Sun does not really use force at all. He gracefully and effortlessly beams onto the man which in turn, ends up winning the battle with the North Wind.

5.) Explain the closing moral in terms of the fable.
The closing moral in this fable deals with using methods of persuasion rather than forcing someone do to so when dealing with opinions and battles. There is no real reason and benefit to force one to come from whatever veiw you hold. Talking about issues and persuading someone to understand you will have a greater advantage than forcing someone to do or believe one way or another.
