When people read “Angela's Ashes” by Frank McCourt, and “The Street” by Ann Petry, they can probably sense that there is something similar among the two stories', and that's because they share a common theme.

The Theme I will be exploring in this play will be family. In this play you come across many scenes that are more focused on the family getting together and being

Seventh Grade features a boy named Victor who tries to get his crush, Teresa, to like him by pretending to know french, when he really does not. By doing this, Victor makes a fool of himself and messes up. The theme of this story is to be yourself. This is shown in paragraph fifty when the narrator says,” He raced to metal shop. After metal shop there was biology, and after biology a long sprint to the public library, where he checked out three french books.” By trying to be someone he is not, Victor is now putting more work on himself because he has to learn French in order to tutor Teresa. On the other hand, in The Cat Who Thought, Jan Skiba purchases a mirror for his daughters which causes them to obsess over their flaws and begin to dislike themselves for it. The theme of this story is the inside matters, the outside does not. According to paragraph six, the narrator states,” A glass mirror shows only the skin of the body. The real image of a person is in his willingness to help himself and his family and, as far as possible, all those he comes in contact with. This kind of mirror reveals the very soul of the person.” The daughters got so caught up in how they look that they began to dislike themselves. So, the theme of this story is the inside matters, the outside

the characters. Wharton displays the theme throughout the story with symbols, motifs, and irony; he wants to be able to connect to the readers. The novel uses morality as a sense of principles between right and wrong. Morality seems to have its up and downs in the story, as it does in real life. The author uses this particular type of theme with characters to have a more realistic plot and to help the reader understand of what is going on in the book.

The way I interpreted the story, the themes are choices and what the consequences or advantages of those choices are. He keeps choosing to go from one job to another, and one state to another etc. and we later find out that it was either smart or dumb.

                    The theme of the story is to always know the truth behind your knowledge. The reason why this is the theme is  because his dad gave him knowledge about the place of the gods. After his dad gave him knowledge he eventually decided to go explore this place and he found that his knowledge was the opposite from the truth. The theme is that even though you may have knowledge about what  a person tells you, you should still find out the truth.

The theme that sometimes the best thing you can do definitely relates to today’s teenager. In the story, Carla says to Maddy “Everything’s a risk. Not doing anything’s a risk. It’s up to you.” This relates to teens today because a lot of times they won't do something they were really wanting to, and then they regret it later.

In the story, Dovepaw is only an apprentice, and she is not suppose to take this challenge, but she volunteered and actually confidently said she could do this job better than any other cat. Although she was having a important test of her life, she still choose to take the time to help Icecloud. I think this not only shows that Dovepaw is helpful and confident, but also teaches us that sometimes we should not stick to ourselves’ achievement and test that others give us, and we need to find a challenge for ourselves. This may be a way for you to be

The author also shows the theme when Maddy states, “I don't know what I'm doing, only that I have to. “ This proves the theme because Maddy knows that she could possibly die if she were to runaway, but still decides to take that risk because she knows she would regret it forever if she were to pass up the opportunity.
