No Shawnski. I think I liked that one even less.
Perhaps if you started the story by telling how so many grasshoppers are born into situations of poverty, violence, health problems and other factors out of their control that play a HUGE role in projected education, opportunities and achievements in their futures I would have liked it more. The part where the grasshoppers misfortunes are all due to him being lazy isn't accurate with most people in reality and it made for an unconvincing read.
Also, as FH has pointed out, the part about immigrant spiders seems pretty racist and I'm not too fond of that either.
Sorry, maybe I'll like the next 1.
I guess I'm more of a non-fiction type.
