The Owl was a fairy tale that I had to read for my studio class. It's about a giant owl who decides to fly into a barn and rest there for a day. When the owner of the barn walks in, he gets scared and runs to tell the towns people. The towns people then decide to try and kill the innocent owl, but all are too afraid. Finally they decide to just burn the barn down and the owl dies inside.
This story, to me, represents how jumping to conclusions is not the best of ideas.
Owls also represent knowledge, so there could be an underline meaning of people being afraid of what they don't known and understand. It could also mean that the towns people were afraid of the powerful knowledge that this owl did have and decided to kill her so no one else could have that knowledge. Either way, the story kinda sucked cause the bird died!!
