There are many Native American legends. All of the legends we read were very interesting stories. The Native American legends, “How The Beaver Got His Tail,” “The Legend of the Lady Slipper,” and “Star Maiden” all have great themes. The first legend to have a theme about living life was “How the Beaver Got His Tail.” “How the Beaver Got His Tail” has the theme of negative actions will get you negative things in return.” This theme was mainly developed in the story by the character. In the beginning of the story the beaver is bragging about his tail. In the middle of the story, the beaver is being hated on because of his boasting. In the end of the story, he acted positive which got him positive things in return. In conclusion, the theme of the story is negative actions will get you negative things in return. …show more content…

Similar to the 1963 film Cleopatra, in Plutarch's The Life of Antony, sexism is maintained in the passage and compatible with its message. Through the author's portrayal of Cleopatra and Antony, he spreads the message that obsession with power is bad and the idea that manipulation and attempts at domination are signs of a bad ruler. Sexism is compatible with such messages because as indicated by Plutarch, Cleopatra utilizes sexist expectations of women in order to manipulate Antony through her aspirations of domination. Therefore, similar to the films Cleopatra and Quo Vadis, because Cleopatra is unsuccessful as she commits suicide in the end and is found "lying dead upon a golden couch," as well as is portrayed as an immoral ruler in
In the poem Making Sarah Cry, the theme of the poem is Perseverance.

believe out of the many themes the biggest one is pride. The story showed pride
All humans are interested in their origins and trying to account for their existence through creation stories. Native Americans tribes are no different from the rest of humanity. The tribes’ stories explain how people came into existence, how they came to be live on the lands they do and the how people interact with nature and each other. These trends can be seen in the legends of three tribes hailing from New England to the Great Lakes Region.
In the book Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls, the theme is to never give up. The theme to never give up represents the main character, Billy and his attitude throughout the book. He does not care if his idea is risky or hard. Billy does not even care if it will take years to accomplish his goal of getting two coonhounds. Billy’s perseverance when facing obstacles represents the theme of never giving up in the story Where the Red Fern Grows.
In life, even the smallest of actions can have repercussions just as influential as larger actions. This moral lesson can be shown in a numerous amount of stories. One of the themes that Ray Bradbury explores in “A Sound of Thunder” is that all actions have consequences, big and small. Three examples that support this theme are the mouse case, stepping of the Path, and the butterfly. The first example that supports the theme of all actions have consequences, big and small, is the mouse case.
One theme I gather from this story is that if you do not live your life taking risks, you will never know what moments in your life that you’re missing out on. You never know where life will take you so one should be open and accepting to events that are out of one’s comfort zone. Being outgoing and spontaneous can lead to meeting new people and making memories. If you're a boring person, people won't like you as much. You only have one life to live so you should live your life to the fullest.
At the beginning of the book, there is a part that starts the story and how it affects them later in their lives. When Raina races against her friends to go home, she trips and knocks out her two front teeth. This shows me the theme of how all things, and even things that are meant to be fun or enjoyable may have some weird/terrible consequences. It also shows us how the relationship between her and her friends in another scene in the beginning of the story is that I saw for the theme friendship was when Raina came back to school the day after her teeth were knocked out and people were wondering how was her and if she was okay. Then more people come over and then they ask her if she saw the blood and how much blood there was and if Raina cried. This shows that her friends do not care for her as much and would rather hear Raina’s story from a different side than her own. A theme that seems great for the both scenes that work together is most people
The story is a great example of how a journeys lessons matter more than the destination because in the story of your own life you may become a hero. One piece of evidence to back this up is “ a hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself” This goes into the story of one's life a person could be horrible in there younger life but the journey of life has come to saving someone's life or doing something to help another. This would lead to the journeys lessons ending up with that person becoming a better person not just society but also
I was a clarinetist in the EAHS High School band during the marching season (July-November). We practiced after school on Tuesday through Thursday every week leading up to our largest competition- The Louisiana Showcase of Marching Bands. On Friday nights, we performed our show, The Seasons, at the football game and played music in the stands to cheer on our team. The hard work paid off as the band placed 2nd place overall at Showcase. This is the best that the EAHS Spartan Band has ever performed at this competition.
This is shown through point of view, contrast and the plot. Point of view is used to illustrate the theme because the speaker is a group of people rather than one individual. Margaret Atwood shows the theme through contrast; her descriptions of the two sides separated by the fence are opposite to display how it feels to be the one suffering compared to be the one witnessing the suffering. The plot obviously shows the theme through the way it highlights how the woman is alone in her suffering, how the group does not understand her, and how the group wishes they could be more
“Tell me a fact and I’ll learn. Tell me the truth and I’ll believe. But tell me a story and it will live in my heart forever.-Native American proverb” This is a Native American proverb that shows how important storytelling and stories are to the Native Americans and their culture. Storytelling was a big way of teaching their lifestyle to their younger generation. Storytelling is very important to the Native American culture because it helps explain their way of life, faith, and helps teach life lessons to the younger generation.
The series of events that build the theme you reap what you sow is built upon by the various events like Linnies, Curly’s wife and Curly being either being killed or beaten as a sign of karma. Treat others the way you would want to be treated because if you find yourself in a difficult situation you're going to regret your earlier actions. An important lesson, of many, to take away from Steinbeck's novel Of Mice and
I found a theme that carried throughout the whole book, Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins. This is the story about Katniss Everdeen and how she got drafted to fight twenty-three others in an arena. She must go through many struggles to end up winning, along with her new lover, Peeta. One simple theme, perseverance, runs throughout the whole book. The complex lesson the story suggests is that perseverance, emotional or physical, not only helps one, but helps others and causes them to persevere as well.
