M!!Paulsen uses motifs to help understand and develop the theme. A motif is like a theme but is only a word of a few words. It is a reoccurring subject that comes up in many different stories, movies, or books. A motif is a recurrent symbol, idea, or image that develops or explains the theme. A motif from the book would be losing hope. When Gary Paulsen is getting his new canadian dogs for his Iditarod team, the dogs are not very happy and shred their kennels. “ The growl-howl from inside the camper was deafening. It sounded like someone was being torn apart.” (pg. 57) This quote is him losing hope because he is getting his new dogs for the Iditarod and they are tearing up the back of his camper. He is losing his hope for having them run in his sled team. The dogs, Ortho, Murphy, and Devil were vicious and feisty, “ they were no specific breed, but various mixes of

A motif is a topic that constantly recurs in literature. The meaning of the first quote and its relation to motif is that flashbacks often occur in the book.

A motif? Well, what might that be? A motif is a like a reoccurring image or symbol that comes up more than once in a story. It will disappear and then suddenly just appear again. In, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, written by Junot Diaz, we are introduced to a particular motif, the mongoose. A mongoose is an animal that is natively from southern Eurasia and the mainland of Africa. The mongoose comes into the story only as needed. When situations tend to get awkward or aren’t going anywhere, the mongoose comes into play. The writer uses the mongoose as a magical type of creature.

The theme is a recurring element throughout literature, movies, and art, which offers the reader/viewer a deeper meaning, a deeper understanding about fundamental ideas in life, and a moral or life lesson.

The definition for a motif is essentially an important idea or subject that is repeated throughout a book (Merriam-Webster). A motif of fire and ice was present in this novel through a binary of love and hate. In Jane Eyre, written by Charlotte Bronte, binaries were created using different elements within the novel, symbolism, imagery, etc. While profoundly reading Jane Eyre, I tracked the image/motif of fire and ice. The fire and ice are used throughout the story to thoroughly develop a binary between love and hate.

A motif is a repeating symbol that takes on a figurative meaning. A motif can be an object, a color, the weather, or even an idea or a concept. Motifs are usually used to establish a certain mood or a theme, and they have a symbolic meaning. For example, in a fairy tale, some motifs would be: the handsome prince, the wicked witch, talking animals, and magic fairies. Another example would be the song “Beasts of England” in Animal Farm by George Orwell, and it is a motif that mainly serves as propaganda to the animals. In Macbeth by William Shakespeare, motifs are seen all throughout the book, like the motif of blood and how it represents guilt. The motifs of blood, sleep, and birds affect the character development and relationship of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth.

The most commonly used motif of all is the quest for something of importance. In the Odyssey,

The word "nirvana" is heard pretty often. For example, people might say they've achieved nirvana when they're really happy or they might talk about going to nirvana as an eternal reward after death. Then, of course, there’s the rock band who adopted the term Nirvana with a certain amount of irony. Furthermore, the word is fully imbedded in the modern vocabulary. But in reality, to most people in¬ the Western world, religious nirvana is a total mystery. Both known religious traditions Hinduism and Buddhism focus on liberation from the endless cycle of rebirth and death and the suffering that comes with that cycle – known as samsara. However, there are important distinctions in how the two traditions view this liberation. Many associate

Wealth plays a big part in manipulation. People or countries with money seem to be in control. This is because they have the best of everything, if its technology, equipment, lawyers, anything you can think of they are going to have it and win. In Animal farm money doesn't play a role but in terms of manipulation to those who don't have power it certainly does! In the books situation the pigs would be the ones with all the money living the high life.The fortunate people with money have access to everything and have the benefits of warm clothes, a roof over our heads, a meal to come home to every night and medicine to help us get better when we are sick.

Prejudice have been prevalent throughout human history. Prejudice is the inflexible and irrational attitudes and opinions held by members of one group about another. It predisposes us to behave negatively toward certain people because of a group to which they belong. And when prejudice reaches the intensity of hatred, it becomes bigotry.
