Throughout this book Sarah Byrns shows a lot of courage. One of the biggest things she did that showed courage is when she came home to her mean abusive father everyday knowing that she was going to get abused nd knowing that h could do worse things then just burn her face.

In Sarah’s Key by Tatiana de Rosnay, the central theme is that pivotal choices made by individuals have significant consequences that shape their lives. The key Sarah wears around her neck and the baby born to Julia, symbolize both Sarah and Julia’s decisive choices. Julia’s husband Bertrand wants her to have an abortion because caring for a baby would ‘kill him’ and lead to their divorce but Julia chooses to have their baby anyway. After having the baby, Julia reflects on how much she wanted her child. She states, “This child meant so much to me. I had fought for her. I had not given in. She was my victory.” Julia’s choice makes her happy but also leads to a painful consequence. Shortly after the birth, Bertrand summons up the courage

The mood for this book is gloomy. The author wants us to feel gloomy and sad when Paul’s son won’t talk to him and cuts Paul off from his life. Paul’s son cuts Paul off by moving to Ecuador. Another example when the author makes us feel gloomy is when Paul leaves Adrienne. Paul leaves Adrienne to be with his son who he barely talks to. It makes the reader feel very sad because Paul really loved Adrienne and wanted to stay with her.

Many live under the assumption that those who come to the United States want to become Americanized and assimilate to the melting pot our culture has formed into. This is the populations ethnocentric belief, which is the belief that the ways of one’s culture are superior to the ways of a different culture, that wants others to melt into the western ways. In Ann Faidman’s The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down, Faidman fails to completely remain objective when demonstrating how cross-cultural misunderstandings create issues in the healthcare field, specifically between the Hmong and western cultures that created dire consequences between the Lee’s and their American doctors. Faidman uses her connections with the Hmong and the doctors who cared for them in order to disclose the different views, beliefs and practices the Hmong and Western cultures practiced. With her attempt to be culturally relative to the situation, Faidman discusses the series of events and reasons as to why the Lee’s faced the fate that they did and how it parallels to the ethnocentrism in the health care system.

She has just lost her mother and her father is at war or possibility dead, which is taking a huge toll on her. All these things hit Saranell at time moment in time, causing her to believe she is alone in this dreadful world. This tragedy causes her to doubt herself and her purpose. Her will to go on and fight is challenged, but she was able to overcome with the help of Renny, the family slave. “She put her fingers over her quivering mouth to control the laugh as Renny swooped and caught the piece of cornbread.

The passages develop the theme in a similar way. For example, Cory and the animal get imprisoned in a certain area and desire freedom. I know this because Cory can’t leave school and the animal can’t leave his cage. Then both Cory and the animal hear or see something that makes them crave that freedom even

In the stories Susan B Anthony Dares to Vote and Making Sarah Cry share a common theme which is helping others. Both characters help others in the stories. For example in Making Sarah Cry she helped the boy and he helped her. And in Susan B Anthony Dares to Vote she tries to help women. Even though the passage and the poem have the same theme they have some differences.

The second theme signifies the importance of hope; the idea of how a negative event can become positive if one manages to maneuver around it. For example, I noticed the rainstorm playing as background sound among the scene. At a certain point Debbie exclaims, “.. And what a lovely day!” which lead me to interpret a signified an ironic moment. Even though it was raining, Debbie still smiled while stating it was a beautiful day. In another instance, Cosmo states he will turn dramatic, failed, silent film of the Dueling Cavalier into a musical; from his mishap of a terrible film which would have ended his career, he gave it hope. Hope is key to resolve all conflicts.

These similarities and differences help better understand the theme in each passage. I believe the theme in, “The Count of Monte Cristo” is to fight through tough times, and believe in yourself. I think this because that's what Edmond did. He didn’t care he was in jail and really let out all of his emotions. He problem solved and concluded what was going on with the noises. The theme in “Blessings” is tell the truth. I believe this because when they started sharing their feeling they became closer as friends and knew what each other were actually thinking.

This echos Angelou's quote as Sarah cannot handle the events she goes through, therefore she lets these events affect her negatively. To begin, her experience in the concentration camp makes her lose faith in staying alive. She sees so many horrific situations, as Rosnay states, “she could see the dislocated body of the woman, the bloody skull of the child, sliced open like a ripe tomato” (33). Witnessing this traumatic event cause her to believe that she will die too, that there is no point of trying, as she she will die anyways. She also loses her longing to live when she visits her house after escaping the concentration camp. When she arrives in her house she notices “the new wallpaper, the new bed, the book, the belongings that had nothing to do with her” (160), as another family takes her home. She comes to realization that she no longer has a home to live in, that everything is taken away from her, which causes her to think that she has no one to live for anymore. Furthermore, she keeps having flashbacks of all members of her family's death, which drives her to commit suicide. Sarah further explains this event in her letter to her brother, Michel, when she writes, “ I carry the burden of your death like I would a child. I will carry it till the day I die. Sometimes, I want to die. I cannot bear the weight

In poems it is essential to be a creative writer. The author uses many techniques from from exposing deep thoughts to giving humorous jokes throughout the sentence. As a human being, we may have difficult times in understanding what is trying to be said. We may agree or disagree depending our viewpoints on life. One of my Favorite poems is “The Ballad of Sue Ellen Westerfield” by Robert Hayden. My favorite poem is the type of poem that has some history and confusion. When getting the audience confused, it makes them want to know more and reread the whole passage again. Hayden’s poem is a fresh new opening that brought an old dimension, his creativity to open the minds of others and look back to the past.

The theme is the main idea in which why the author may have chosen to write the story. Although there is more than one theme present, there is one theme that is eminent compared to other additional themes. The theme that Thompson portrayed was that the people who are closest to one and one interacts with the most has an increased chance to betray one at one's weakest points. One of the ways Thompson chose to expose the theme is through a large amount of conflict. The mother of Roy Dillon, Lilly Dillon, was an immense part of the conflict. Lilly Dillon was never much of a mother to Roy Dillon, Lilly would act as a ¨selfish older sister¨ which Roy despised (11). Thompson, early on, made the choice to set the relationship of the mother and the son early on so the reader could get an idea of what to expect from the mother. The main theme, betrayal, is later exposed in the story when the conflict of Roy and Lilly ends abruptly. ¨Her son had been killed¨ by his own mother, Lilly, which ended the conflict (200). Although, his mother had been very amiable in the beginning, in the end he is unfortunately betrayed which is the main exposure of the theme. In conclusion, theme was affected by another literary element,

At the beginning of the book, there is a part that starts the story and how it affects them later in their lives. When Raina races against her friends to go home, she trips and knocks out her two front teeth. This shows me the theme of how all things, and even things that are meant to be fun or enjoyable may have some weird/terrible consequences. It also shows us how the relationship between her and her friends in another scene in the beginning of the story is that I saw for the theme friendship was when Raina came back to school the day after her teeth were knocked out and people were wondering how was her and if she was okay. Then more people come over and then they ask her if she saw the blood and how much blood there was and if Raina cried. This shows that her friends do not care for her as much and would rather hear Raina’s story from a different side than her own. A theme that seems great for the both scenes that work together is most people

The first theme is “never give up”, this is shown multiple times throughout the book. First, the theme is shown when the giver tells of the previous receiver requesting her own release, but “Jonas, would never have…
