Motorcycle Diaries Theme

The theme of “Blood on the River” by Elisa Carbone is that working together is an important skill for life. One event that shows this theme is when Captain Smith and Samuel watched a Swordfish and a Thresher shark kill a whale. This shows the theme because when you work together with someone you can accomplish anything you both set your minds to. On page 37 Captain Smith states, “You might have been born the biggest fish in the sea, but the skill and perseverance of those lower born can take you down and destroy you.” Another place in the story that supports the theme is when Captain Smith punished Samuel and made him stand on one foot to teach him a lesson because he didn't work together with the other boys. In this scene, the theme is

The story of Enrique's Journey is about a young man struggling to find his mom in America, all the while desperately trying to cross multiple borders to reach the U.S. The theme of Enrique’s Journey is about poverty and how if affects the people around it. Sonia Nazario’s message about poverty is that it’s extremely rampant in central america and that it affects everyone around it. The theme of poverty is constantly shown throughout the book; the significance of it is that poverty greatly affects every aspect of life. I came to this conclusion based on the fact that she very descriptively describes life in Central America and how she uses this to allude to the many problems that Enrique must overcome.

The Road, written by Cormac McCarthy, is about a father and son walking alone along Burned America. They face critical weather conditions as well as many monstrous people along their journey to the coast. All they have is each other and a pistol for defense. The story may seem all dark and difficult, however, there is a beautiful love story between the father and the boy; a love that never fails, never gives up, and never dies throughout the story. Since people have a need for connection, they find love which gives them a reason to live and helps them to feel appreciated. The man in the beginning of the novel, has a devotion to the boy. “He knew that the child was his warrant.” (page 5) which is in reference to the child provides him with a reason to live. Throughout the rest of the novel this bears out. The man puts the boys needs before his own, everything he seems to do is out of consideration of the boy. Furthermore, the man continues to protect the boy. “The man had already dropped to the ground and he swung with him and leveled the pistol and fired from a two-handed position balanced on both knees at a distance of six feet. In the middle of the story, the man keeps putting the boy first. The man also seems burdened by the loss of his wife, which makes him care for the boy even more because he knows how hard it is to lose a loved one, he wouldn’t dare lose another.

I think one of the main themes of Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson is injustice. Ruth and her sister experience tons of unjust situations. Isabel is forced to grow up fast and be a mother to Ruth in order to fulfill her promise to her mother. Since she had to take care of her sister right after her mother's death, she was left with no time to grieve the loss of yet another parent. She did this because she was to be a strong example for Ruth. Throughout the book you could really see Isabel grow as a person as she overcame challnges.

In previous time when majority of citizen actually heard an Outlaw motorcycle gang riding through their town all they felt was fear because they knew what the motorcycle gang actually meant. All they could see in there eyes was desaster, drug trades, and violence. On the other hand there is a small sum of minorities that actually believe that the outlaw motorcycle gang is not what we thought they are to be. Yes, maybe they do start fights or they do trade drug but a few see pass that and noticed that they a real everyday people that just carry honor and brotherhood.

In the book Devil in the White City Larson’s use of themes greatly impacted the flow and message of the book. Themes such as evil, existing anywhere and everywhere in the world with those committing these acts of evil usually hiding behind a facade of goodwill and well meaning intentions. Another theme that was a key concept in the book, was that of delusions and the consequences of them. As the book progressed, the characters that represent the themes delved deeper into the depths of what these themes really represented until their whole essence is what they represented. The themes that Lason used are independent to one another but in their extremes they morph into a similar if not just one an over arching theme. This is the same for

Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs (OMCGs) is a contemporary issue that engulfs Australian society. What makes prosecution of such gangs so complex is the strong foothold that gangs have in organised crime and the façade that is worn in order to evade the eyes of the law. Various responses have been implemented in order to cease all violence and more importantly disenfranchise organised crime and prosecute those within the illegal syndicates. Legal responses put into act are: task forces and intelligence and lastly, targeting the organisation and membership. The non-legal responses on the other hand are, the media and the formation of political parties.

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.

The high-action war drama, Hacksaw Ridge, shared the story of the fierce battles between the Japanese and United States during the second World War. The film followed the journey of Desmond Doss - an American pacifist combat medic who refused to carry a gun. His philosophy originated from the Seventh-Day Adventist Christian religion with some sects stressing nonviolence. The movie perfectly captured the reality of a pacifist during the war with many of his fellow soldiers disbelieving in his ways and even hurting him to force his retirement. However, the strong walled Doss did not let his fellow peer’s actions deter his involvement in the war, and later his group, the 77th Infantry Division, was deployed to Okinawa. During the battle of Okinawa,

V for Vendetta sets the Gunpowder Plot as V's historical inspiration, contributing to his choice of timing, language and appearance For example, the names Rookwood, Percy and Keyes are used in the film, which are also the names of three of the Gunpowder conspirators. The film creates parallels to Alexandre Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo, by drawing direct comparisons between V and Edmond Dantès. (In both stories, the hero escapes an unjust and traumatic imprisonment and spends decades preparing to take vengeance on his oppressors under a new persona.) The film is also explicit in portraying V as the embodiment of an idea rather than an individual through V's dialogue and by depicting him without
