The Complexities and Themes in The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame

All three of these themes really helps you go in depth into the story. You realize how many times each of these pop up, which events they popped up in, and how important those events even were. We see you never know the worth of water until the well is dry with Sal as well as Phoebe, maybe even Mrs.Cadaver. When Sal’s mom leaves because she feels rotten in comparison to Sal’s father, we find this is a major event because we now have an insight as to why she left, she didn’t feel perfect, even though she was only human. Sal accepting her mother death was a terrible thing in her life, yet she had to and was also a key event in the story. These themes can all easily be integrated into our modern day society. Such as when you lose a relative, you have to accept their death even if you desperately don’t want to or when said family member dies you don’t realize how much they mean to you. Or with all the stereotypes and expectations we sometimes forget that we’re all only human. Tell people close to you you love them, you’ll never know when you’ll lose them. Make sure they know you appreciate them, but most of all, always know that nobody’s

The book is full of suspenseful moments that are sure to keep the readers on their toes. As far as theme goes, I believe that the novel’s primary overarching theme is that of man versus the wild. The wild being referred to here can be considered both natural forces as well as wild mountain men as well. The book essentially places urban life in a rural setting, and allows all chaos to ensue.

One could argue that the definitive message and final takeaway from the book would be that as tempting and as peaceful nature can seem at first glance, it really is just as corruptive and dangerous as urban

Plot is very important to a story, novel, or even movies. It helps to make object of the story plain to the reader, and make it as enjoyable to the reader as the author wanted it to be. Plot starts out with an introduction of sorts then runs into the rising action, followed by the main point of the story, then the exposition. When that is over the falling action occurs and finally, the resolution of the story. Willa Cather expresses this very intently in his story “The Sentimentality of William Tavener.” He draws the reader in with a man that is strict with his son and wife who are worthy to participate in the circus in town. Willa tells of the wife trying to convince her husband to allow them to go. Then he surprises the

The plot in a fiction text is important in keeping the reader's attention. The majority of the story builds towards a climax. This climax is where the peak of action, suspense or thrill takes place, which then leads to the resolution of the story. As in "Lord of the Flies" the author continued to increase conflict between the boys until a full-scale war takes place, which is the climax. The building

For example one of the themes used in the novel is family and relationships the theme is used for forms of relationships between different characters. for example akira and his father never had that close bond relationship between a father and a son for instance o page 18 of the novel akira tells the readers about his view of his father " my father was never a father who put you at ease. I always felt he was more like the school inspector, making sure that you were all in order. " this makes the readers sympathise akira so he can never really converse with his father since Akiras father is 'used to never being questioned or stood up to, Kathryn Lomer had picked her themes in the approved manner for her

A theme is the meaning behind a story, occasionally defined as the moral of the story. Themes can differ from one end of the world to the other, as it does in many books.

The theme is being portrayed through the narrative point of view, setting and atmosphere, and character development.
