3. Draw Conclusions How does the motif of wishing apply to each of the story's major characters: Yoni, Sergei, and the goldfish? What is similar
and different about their wishes?

4. Evaluate the last section of the story is a flash forward. Readers must
infer what happens in the time between Sergei's conversation with the
fish and Yoni's final report on his video. Is this structure effective, or
would it have been better to know the details about Sergei's decision?
Explain.

5. Notice & Note Reread what the goldfish tells Sergei in paragraph 22.
What lesson is this archetypal wise character trying to convey? How does
this lesson reveal a theme of the story?
Story is “what, of this goldfish, would you wish”
