In the Starfish Story there is a man throwing starfish he finds on the shore into the ocean. Another man asks him why he is doing this, he replies "...If I don't throw them in they will die." The wise man then questions him saying that there are many miles of ocean and he cannot make a difference. The man throwing the starfish throws in yet another starfish, replying to the wise man "I made a difference to that one."
After reading the Starfish Story I got that the moral is that you may not be able to change the whole world but you can make a difference. In life if there is something that you believe is not right you should do the right thing which is to try to help solve that problem. If nobody ever tried to make things different people could still have to sit in the back of the bus.
I think that this story is trying to show people that if you are working towards something people might try to knock you down, but you need to keep a positive attitude and tell or show them otherwise. If you really want something you need to work at it and then you can get what you want.
"I made a difference to that one." This part of the story will really make you think. For example in the story the man is throwing starfish he finds on the beach into the ocean. Of course there are many miles of the shore but he is still trying to make a difference by throwing the starfish back into the ocean. He may not save every starfish but he will save the lives of the few that he does throw back in.
The moral of this story is that always believe in yourself. Don't let anyone bring you down. Always stick up for what you believe.
