                    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.

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.

I have spotted multiple themes though out this novel but, the main two themes I was were Good vs. Evil and Being Self-Sufficient. The main characters the tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Loin were heavily insecure about themselves. The scarecrow didn’t t think he was smart enough so he traveled with them to get a brain. The lion didn’t think he was brave enough so he traveled with them to get some courage. Though out the novel we see that the scarecrow is the smartest out of the group and that the lion risked he own life many times to save his friends.

This format also allowed the story to be conveyed without any bias to either side. It is in this way that the authors allow each side of the case to speak their minds freely. In my opinion the theme's purpose was achieved through the expression of becoming open with new ideas and leaving the play as unbiased form.

In conclusion, the three most important themes to me in the story, abuse, fear, and karma are what made the story so good. He abuses her, she has fear, that he pokes fun at, and he is punished for his actions. Her greatest fear saved her from enduring anymore abuse from

There was many different themes in these stories, from friendship or independence, to perseverance or redemption. One theme that stuck with me, and could be found in a few of the stories we read, was the theme of shame. Shame can be found in a character’s actions and thoughts. There are many ways in which shame can be depicted, but I saw the overall theme in three of the stories we read in class.

Theme is a fantastic way to analyze a book and to learn more about it and its idea. Both the book, The Giver, and the story, “Harrison Bergeron” attempt to achieve a perfect society in which people are undereducated and and brought down from what they could potentially be. The book and the short story both have several similar theme topics, one of which is rebellion. Rebellion is often found in an unequal part of the world, or place and is influenced by rage and contempt to accomplish equalness in society or government.

A theme that I picked up from reading the book is to look around and see what is good in the world. This applies in many reasons. Dally has trouble seeing good things in the world, he always is seeing what is dark and not so good. He went to jail for the first time when he was ten. Johnny thinks he should look in a sunset, Ponyboy and Johnny watch the sunset when they are at the church, Johnny learns to love sunsets.

One example of the theme is when there is an incident at the vegetable shop. In this event Tish is harassed by a White Italian. When Fonny sees what happened he defends her and is almost arrested for it. That is when Officer BEll starts targeting Fonny. Which will later prove costly.

better than one, the acceptance of common good is better for others than the greed of own

Each of the characters confronts the four main themes throughout their wartime experience. Remarque feels that these men should not have to show bravery in war, however, bravery is possibly the most important of the major themes in the novel.

A theme, by literary definition, is a central topic of a text.This means that they are a always a part of every story. Mainly, themes symbolize the, sometimes hidden, meanings of texts. In one particular story of Ursula K. Le Guin, “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas,” one theme is evident throughout this short story, and it centers around the neglect of morals and ethical beliefs. Throughout the text, this idea of moral neglect is apparent, and the story describes how derelict the ethics of the people of Omelas have become.

In the novel “ The Breadwinner” My theme is “Courage.¨ It is about a girl named Parvana and her family is in danger she is losing money and now Parvana's has to make a big commitment. Not only that, but her dad got taken away and now he is in Jail. Parvana has to do something very brave and she must have a lot of courage to this, she has to act and dress like a boy in order to get money and take care of her family. Every day Parvana would go to the market and work, One-day Parvana was walking and Parvana saw a girl in an alleyway sitting there with no burqa on and Parvana told the girl to come to her house. The parts of the book show that this theme for this book is courage and for sure it will make you believe that theme is a good theme for this book.

Theme is an integral part of this story and is mostly presented through the narrator. One of the major themes of the story is conscience, in which many of the conflicts in the

In the heart of the statuesque islands of The Bahamas is an island with a hill called "Como Hill", boot shaped and famous for it's rich folklore where humans have animal attributes and fish walk on two feet.The book An Evening in Guanima by Patricia Glinton is comprised of a collection of folk stories that illustrate magic drums, tricksters, heroes and typical children which breaks the barriers of logic presenting whimsical occurrences teaching life lessons. The book is composed of thirteen stories that all end in a dramatic manner, leaving a lesson to be learnt. Glinton's use of diction, characterization and foil, adage and foreshadowing, and binary opposites in the stories “Miss Annie” and “The Gaulin Wife”, teaches the important lesson
