After reading this story, we will be looking at the character traits that The Good Egg has at the beginning, middle, and end of the story. Eventually going off on his own, when his efforts to make the other eggs be good lead only to stress, and the development of cracks in his shell, he learns to decompress and take care of himself. He figures out some things in life and he goes home a different egg; a little looser and a little less uptight. I guess my take on it is a lot different from a lot of the other readers who feel the message is about not worrying about others' bad behaviors and not trying to "fix" everyone around you.But he finds living alone to be far too lonely so he goes back home to find that his family misses him and that it's OK for them to continue treating him like crap because you can't control everything around you. There is also a picture of the egg escorting an old granny bacon across the street and they laughed at that.
