The theme we created for Death and the Miser is “Sometimes, the most difficult choice can turn out to be the best one.” Every single one of us at some point in our lives is going to have to make a tough decision. Some take a little more thinking than others. For example, the Miser was having trouble deciding whether to choose between good or evil, while he was aware of the consequences. He knew that no matter what decision he made, his life was going to change drastically. When Death refuses to kill him, he realizes that he had made the wrong decision and ended up being rewarded with the money and being sent to heaven. I am going to demonstrate my theme through the book A Month of Summer (Blue Sky Hill #1) by Lisa Wingate and the Jeopardy Theme Song by Merv Griffin. …show more content…
A book that directly applies to my theme is A Month of Summer (Blue Sky Hill #1) by Lisa Wingate. This book contains a quote that applies to my book. For example, it states “the hardest thinking about the road not taken is that you never know where it may have lead.” This quote is related to my theme because in the story, the Miser had a difficult time choosing between good and bad. He wasn’t sure what would best suit his needs. He was stuck between falling for the temptation or to follow the angel’s path to crucifixion. If he were to fall for the temptation, he would never know what would have happened if he followed the angel’s path. On the other hand, if he would have followed the angel’s path to crucifixion, he wouldn’t ever know the outcome of choosing the
Another theme could be that people can change. This supports the main theme that we can be anything we want but not anyone we want. People can change themselves into anything they want to be the way Amy changed herself to be strong and tough like a basketball player. To contrast this, Amy could not be anyone she wanted to be. She knew that she was a tomboy but she tried to be an actual boy named Eric.
The theme no matter the situation, there is a reason so make the most of it.T represents my life, and others on many levels. Most students dislike waking up for school, and are forced to go. I dislike going to school, but everyday I have to tell myself to work hard and make school better. The other theme I chose from The Maze Runner is extremely similar to the other theme, accept instead of making the most of a bad situation, this theme tells me to make the most of the opportunity’s in the bad situation. This applies to my life, because I'm in school which is not necessarily a bad situation but still take advantage of the opportunity to learn. Both of the themes can be applied to everyday life, and they can help as motivation to move forward.
The theme of Life As We Knew it is survive, thrive, and love your family. The theme helped me understand this book because after finding out the theme I could understand who:is the main character, what:Is the main idea, where:is The setting and why things were happening and connect it to the theme. Not only that but,throughout the book I was constantly thinking about the theme.
The most important aspect of the Latin American culture has everything to do with honor. Women have the biggest responsibility when it comes to honor. Losing your honor might undoubtedly portray as the worst deed in this culture.

Society has been dominated for centuries by a relentless amount of distinctions that have separated mankind in nearly any area of life. From features to wealth, physical entities that define classes of people continually craft the world with an inherent structure that disables any two individuals from achieving equality. However, there is one event that shatters the confines of this rigid world. Death. However, Hurston attacks this notion of death as the great equalizer of the society as to depict a world where racism seeps into all aspects of one’s existence. After the hurricane in which Tea Cake and Janie worked tirelessly to escape its wrath, they are exposed to a world with a greater resemblance to hell than the place they once called home.
Knowledge is the information in which we perceive to be the truth of the world around us. However, all knowledge is susceptible to change depending of the bias of the character. Gabriel García Márquez demonstrates this issue in the novel Chronicle of a Death Foretold by exploiting the understanding of knowledge through fabula and syuzhet.
My quote for Theme is "If you want something done right you gotta doit yourself" This theme is portraying the idea that know one will do a task exactly how you want except for you.
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.
A theme many people faced throughout life experiences is the theme of redemption, which means being saved from incorrect doings. Individuals can fix their sins and evil minds by looking forward to positive people and things to guide them on the right path(way) to be a better person. The theme of

The theme I chose is fate and prophecy because there are a lot of prophecy in Percy Jackson.The text says, ¨You will be betrayed by one who calls you a friend.¨This relates to the theme because this means a lot to Percy really cares about his friends.The book says, ¨In the end you will fail what matters most.¨This relates to the quote because Percy fails to save his mom. That matters most to him.In conclusion it does not matter what prophecy you try to avert from happening, it´ll still come

Martin Heidegger and Ludwig Wittgenstein's writings about our personal deaths and how we are to relate to our personal deaths as individuals has interested me.
