Pam Muunoz Ryan's 'Freddie In The Shade'

The theme presents the novel by showing how Margot is feeling and how the other characters are feeling about what they are doing to Margot. One day all day in venus all the kids were reading in class about the sun. So some of them had been writing essays some of them were writing small stories and the rest were writing poems. The next day Margot read her poem to the whole class. After she was done reading her poem one of the boys protested, “Aw, you

People read countless stories that have a variety of themes in them. 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 is how people can persevere through problems that they encounter. The reader will discover this similar theme of persevering through problems with the way the authors utilize the character of characters feelings and personality, the way setting creates a backdrop that establishes the tone of the story, and events that cause conflict to the character.

Another theme heavily shown throughout the book is people are defined by the choices they make. Ben left his little sister Sissy to die even though he may have been able to save her, because he left her therefore he now vows to not run from danger/things that scare him. On top of that, Cassie promised Sammy that she would find him, and because she made that promise she will stop at nothing to be with him again.

As a result of the weak action made by Lennie, Candy and Crooks in the novel, the theme is revealed. The events that were taken place and the responses from the characters showed that they were weak and couldn’t handle situations. Weakness which cannot be improved until they are

Over time in the book Mattie is very strong if I was her I wouldn't know what to do. One time in the book Mattie gets diagnosed with fever and she survives! She was so close to death. "Oh, my, now that's looking better isn't it? You've beat the Grin Reaper, you have, lassie" Mrs flag says to Mattie when she wakes up from the fever. She was so close to death but she kept fighting. But she isn't done yet. Another time in the story where Mattie showed us the theme was when Mattie was all alone but she went out and tried to find someone to help her. This relates to the theme because Mattie could of just stayed at the coffeehouse but instead she knew she could find someone who would help. The last example I have is when Mattie has to decide what to do with the coffeehouse. She could decide to keep it or she could sell it. Everybody was telling her to sell it but she kept it. She could of said I don't want to decide and Eliza would've sold it but she decide to kept and to have Eliza as a partner. All these examples are explain how the theme is true. But these were three examples were three of many.

Throughout the story, motive and theme were used to make the story more intriguing. Motive was incorporated everytime the girl went to the grocery store, as she would go to look for the bag boy, clarifying why she acts the way she does. In the story, the author states, “ Each time she went to the store, her eyes scanned the checkouts at once, her heart in her mouth.”(Rylant), explaining how the girl was deeply in love with him and that he was on her mind 24/7, which gave her motivation not only to go grocery shopping, but to start liking Cincinnati and her new life. Theme is also shown in the story when the girl and boy hated themselves and each other because they were too scared to talk to one another, introducing

The theme is normally the message the author wants the reader to understand and take in. The theme of the story started with this quote, “From my office, I could look across town to the weather signal on the Mutual of New York Building and the lights that alternately spelled TIME and LIFE above Rockefeller Plaza; that pleased me obscurely, and so did walking uptown in the mauve eight o’clocks of early summer evenings and looking at things.” (Pg. 6) The theme of this story is about time and life. It took time for the character to finally realize the things she wanted in life. She thought she wanted to live in New York and settle in. However, her time in New York wasn’t the best experience she had hope for. Her life was a mess, and she wasn’t focused on the right things she was suppose to be focusing on. Seeing the words TIME on Rockefeller Plaza, one of New York’s main attraction gave her hope again. From the beginning she believed that time would help her adapt to New York. When she first got to New York, she was young. Being young gave her opportunities and time to find jobs and work her way up. It took time for her to realize all the problems she had been living with. It took time for her to realize that Los Angeles was a place she enjoyed living in in the future. New York was a stage of time where she had to discover herself as an individual. The last sentence of the passage showed that she was happy living in Los Angeles. “There were years when I called Los Angeles “the coast,” but they seem a long time ago. (Pg. 8) Normally, people living in the east coast would call Los Angeles the coast, but it was a long time ago since she called Los Angeles the coast. This provides the reader a hint that she had settled down in Los Angeles and have been living there for a long time. It took her a long time to discover the life she wanted. New York wasn’t the one for her. It only took time for her to discover what she

The author uses characters to reveal the theme through their thoughts, actions, and views. A piece of evidence that uses character to display the theme is from "Angela's Ashes", "I asked if she would like some tea". This quote is from a point in the story when Angela asked her mother, who has fallen terribly ill, if she is in need of anything even though supplies were limited. Furthermore, the reader can infer that Angela has taken the role of her mother, mostly because she is lacking a father figure to step in, introducing an area of struggle. By making the inference of Angela's role in her family the audience is able to put what troubles she has underwent into perspective, this creates a window for the author to use character to introduce the theme. From the short story, "The Street" the character is found within

Joyce uses the setting of the story to help create a mood and to develop characters and themes throughout the

Theme of the story: The conditions of a character's life has a direct influence on how they act in the novel.

Another example of this theme being relevant in this book would be Cassie going to get Crisco when the soldiers arrived at their refugee. Cassie’s father told her to go get Crisco so that they could all be saved. When she does this, the soldier shoots Crisco but now Cassie is by the woods and has a greater chance of escaping. Cassie escapes but sees her father get killed. Seeing her father murdered by the soldiers drives her to grow up and realize that Sam could actually be in danger.

These theme for my book are very good themes about the book. The themes help the reader know what the book is about. The characters in the book are important to the book because with out the characters the book would make no sense. Every book must have characters and themes to the book because without those two things there is no book. The three theme from the book talk very good about the book. They describe what Brian has to go through in order to survive the cold winter in the canadian wilderness. One theme tells us how lonely it is in the wilderness and how lonely Brian is and how he has no one to talk to but a skunk. So those are some of my theme and characters of my story brian’s winter.

I think the overall theme is that doubt eventually leads to dissatisfaction. I think this because towards the beginning, Alice was very confident with her relationship. However, once Marc told her that they "about to sit next to [his]... ex-wife", she began to doubt their relationship. She started to question why his ex-wife had left him in the first place and if there was a side of him that she had not known yet. This eventually led to her contemplating their relationship and "not answering" him. Even at the end of the story, "she kept looking [at the other wife], with envy and curiosity". This showed that she wanted to know that side of Marc that the ex-wife had know. I think the lack of character point-of-view does play into the theme because

When reading all of the feelings and events added together, two themes stuck out. One theme is that Anne was lonely. In the inside of her book she stated that “I hope I will be able to confide everything to you, as I have never been able to confide in anyone, and I hope you will be a great source of comfort and support”. This shows that so far in her life she really did not find the right person to open up to and talk about her most personal thoughts. Another theme I found was being completely

Theme gives the reader a general idea about what the piece of literature is about. The character’s action and thoughts takes part in creating the theme. Animal farm was a book about animals taking control of the farm from their tyrannic farmer. The animals attempts to make the farm a democracy, but Napoleon, the pig leader, takes over and eventually becomes the new tyrant. The Pearl was about a family, Kino, Juana, Coyotito, who catches a huge pearl. They go through a journey to get away from any harm such as the trackers. In the book Animal Farm and the book The Pearl, the two characters, Napoleon and the Doctor, created a theme that greed can change their perspective.
