Blood On The River Theme

The book Hunter in the Dark written by Monica Hughes was a story about tragic accident that happened to a boy that took him by surprise causing his life to change. This book being published in 1982 reflects on the style used, as well as being written in a genre of a young adult literature. This book was published being a Canadian book but reached out across many countries.

The book Found by Margaret peterson has a big part of the book where the author tries to bring out is the theme. The theme she tries to bring out is teamwork is needed in order to succeed. She shows this theme in the beginning, the middle, and in the end of the book.

The exposition of Blood on the River by Elisa Carbone is when a boy called Samuel Collier stole his mother's locket from a pan shop and the owner found him and sent him to an orphanage. This novel has many different settings in the beginning of the book they are in England, then in the middle of the book the are on a boat on there way to the “New World”. Then in the middle /end of the book they are in Jamestown Virginia. The time period that this book took place in is 1606-1607. The significant event that happened in this time period was the creation of Jamestown. There were many people involved in this such as Samuel, Captain Smith, Captain Ratcliff, and many other gentlemen and peasants. The problem that they face are dealing with the Native American people and just trying to survive. This is a problem because the natives don't want these people around so they try to get rid of them, and survival is a problem because they are in a new place that they have never been in before and they dont know whats poisonous or how to really protect themselves because most of the people they brought were gentlemen.

Furthermore, the theme is developed from the figurative language and tone for each poem. The tone and figurative language developed the theme of unison in “Tableau”. When Cullen compares a white boy to a black boy (used in lines 1-2), she sees them as equal, naming them “golden splendor of day .../… [and] the sable pride of night.” Her tone is full of hope when she hopes that people can be ignorant toward the way people look and how they talk (in lines 9-10). The tone and figurative language developed the theme, words matter, in “Incident”. Cullen is young and shocked to be immediately i called names without even opening her mouth (in lines 4-80. The use of irony contributed to how she was happy to be in Baltimore until someone called her a cruel name. Her perception of racism changed because of that. That goes to show that words matter. Both themes were connected to

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

One time the theme is shown is when Johnny and Ponyboy realize that there were kids in the burning church, and they hopped right in to save them. Johnny courageously sacrifice his own life to allow Ponyboy and the children to get out. “Johnny shoved me toward a window. ‘Get out!’ I leaped out the window and heard timber crashing and the flames roaring right behind me.” (Hinton 93). Johnny and Ponyboy are two kids who are on the run because they are convicts.. Not too long before this, Johnny was standing over Bob, who he had just killed with a switchblade. People would never expect a killer to sacrifice his life for some kids and his friend, especially someone as young as Johnny. Johnny and Ponyboy didn’t do this to convince other people or themselves that they are good people with morals. They did it because they knew it was the right thing to do and they couldn’t just let the kids die in the fire. This shows that they can rise above what other people might expect from them.

In the Bronxs, New York, at 11:13 pm, in a dark alley lies a boy, blood is pouring out of his stomach, for moments ago a knife had been driven into him and ripped across his body. In the story “On The Sidewalk Bleeding” by Evan Hunter a young man named Andy regrets his choices as he’s staring death in the eyes. The moral of this story is to make choices you will not regret in the future. Andy made choices in his life that he regrets in his last moments. Some of the choices he regrets are joining the Royals gang, going to the ruble, and wearing the Royals jacket.

The theme of the novel is that your culture and background does defy you. In other words, being in a gang or group doesn’t mean you're not unique. For example, Ponyboy is in a gang/hood group “The Greasers” and does things like mug and snatch like the other members of the group, but this doesn't mean he doesn't have a different personality than the others. Another theme in the novel is the power of brotherhood. This is a sub-theme because it not confronted to the readers until the end of the novel. On page 176, Sodapop Curtis said, “ We ought to be able to stick together against everything if we don't have each other we don't have anything.” This quote struck out to me because throughout the

In the passage "Boys Life" and "Emancipation: A Life Fable" have things in common with the theme and differences with the theme. I know this because they both have a similar themes. I think the theme for both passages is being patient can be rewarding.

A theme is the meaning behind a story, occasionally defined as the moral of the story. Themes can differ from one end of the world to the other, as it does in many books. The Droughtlanders by Carrie Mac is a futuristic version of the world which has been divided into two parts. The rich and the poor, the healthy and the sick, otherwise known as Keyland and Droughtland. Keyland is where all the rich people with extravagant lands and lives live. Droughtland is a disease-ridden land where all poor people are being forced to live. Society treats Droughtland poorly and they decide to take action. Thus starting the revolution. Carrie Mac portrays many themes in different ways throughout the book. However the major theme the book revolves around is that; No matter how rich or poor a person is, or what gender, race, or sexuality they are, in the end, they are all the same and deserve to be treated equally. In addition, the book shows that when everyone is treated equally there is so much more that everyone can accomplish. The theme is being portrayed through the narrative point of view, setting and atmosphere, and character development.

When we think about our existence in terms of how we are humans, we take into account what happens in a typical human life. The universal qualities of human existence is the most prominent theme in the book. This theme is noticeable, multiple times throughout Our Town, by Thornton Wilder. One time the theme is shown in the book in the beginning, where the Stage Manager talks about the layout of Grover’s Corners. The same theme is repeated, when George and Emily are hanging out and they get ice-cream sodas. In another moment the theme is shown in its infancy stage, in the Stage Manager’s discourse about the twins being born in a Polish Town. The theme gradually culminated in the book, towards the end, where Emily’s funeral takes place. We

The theme seems to be about how the expectations of a parent can lead to resentment from the child when the child fails to meet those expectations. The theme is partially set in the opening paragraph with the statement, "My mother

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.

The theme of freedom, throughout the novel, takes place on the Mississippi River. In the story the main purpose of the river is to be a symbol of freedom. Rivers are seen as

Societal norms show the worlds various good and bad ideologies. In the story, Lamb to the Slaughter by Roald Dahl a woman named Mary kills her husband with a leg of lamb. Then, she calls the cops and tells them that her husband is dead. After that, she feeds the murder weapon to the cops on the scene. The portrayal of women as the bad cop, the preconceived notion of a female's role in society, and implied dependence on men are all themes in Lamb to the Slaughter. In using the wife as the murderer, Roald Dahl shows the human desire to exact revenge.
