Theme Of Fast Forward Book Report

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.

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 theme I chose was racism and how it takes a big part in the book. In the first chapter James lived in Suffolk Virginia with his mother Ruth They live in a neighborhood with all black people. Ruth rides her bike around and she often plays her piano. “When i was fourteen, my mother took up two new hobbies: riding a bicycle and playing piano.”

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 Droughtlanders by Carrie Mac is a futuristic version of the world which has been divided into two parts. The rich and the poor, the healthy and the sick, otherwise known as Keyland and Droughtland. Keyland is where all the rich people with extravagant lands and lives live. Droughtland is a disease-ridden land where all poor people are being forced to live. Society treats Droughtland poorly and they decide to take action. Thus starting the revolution. Carrie Mac portrays many themes in different ways throughout the book. However the major theme the book revolves around is that; No matter how rich or poor a person is, or what gender, race, or sexuality they are, in the end, they are all the same and deserve to be treated equally. In addition, the book shows that when everyone is treated equally there is so much more that everyone can accomplish. The theme is being portrayed through the narrative point of view, setting and atmosphere, and character development.

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

brilliantly brings out this theme through the use of setting and atmosphere, the title of the story and its

I personally believe that there are some partial relations between Ready Player One and the Holocaust. Granted the book is not the exact same context as the Holocaust, based on some things that happened during the Holocaust, Ex. Dehumanization, Killing of Jewish people, etc, I still think there is a partial relationship between the two.

One way the author conveys the theme is through the main character’s actions. She strives to be like an American girl and is stubbornly blind

A Long Way Gone is a book that lives up to its potential, putting reader themselves into the book with its glorious details while teaching people everywhere to never lose hope.

Homeroom Diaries In Homeroom Diaries, by James Patterson and Lisa Papademetriou, Cuckoo, a 16 year old girl, has experienced a lot of tragedy. Her dad abandoned her when she is young, and her mom left her a few months ago, but her friends were always there for her. However, when things get tough, for the whole Freakshow, not just Cuckoo, their friendship is tested.

One Theme that was presented in Copper Sun was Freedom.Freedom is joined when Amari and Polly travels their way to Fort Mose.The book shows how hard it is for slaves to get their own freedom.I Chose this theme because it shows how slavery and people that been slavery get their freedom.Also how hard they work to find a way out of being controlled.Amari and polly both were trying to get freedom, they had a long journey trying to get their freedom.Also shows how much hope they have to get their own freedom by walking and traveling a long way.The girls never gave up and that's why they got their freedom.

A theme I found that would happen throughout the novel would be the disorder of life. Our main character, Christopher, persistently has the need to see the world as systematic. If Christopher doesn’t get his order, he has a very low approval for disorder. He spends way too much time on timetables, for illustration, since his parents didn’t have a routine to follow when they went on vacation, he struggled. Another example would be, “…4 red cars in a row made it a Good Day, and 3 red cars in a row made it a Quite Good Day, and 5 red cars in a row made it a Super Good Day, and why 4 yellow cars in a row made it a Black Day, which is a day when I don’t speak to anyone and …”

In the story, Fish In A Tree, Ally feels like life is laughing at her in the face because she can’t read or write as well as everyone else and just wants to fit in but ends up feeling more apart than before. That’s until she meets Keisha and Albert. Two people who are like her, but face different problems. My theme for this book is, “Sometimes life can make you feel trapped, but don’t stop trying”. They all face this problem throughout the book starting with Ally, when they start to realize that they have something better than other people will ever have, they start to look at the bright side of things and find out they’re special in their own ways.

From the book Savvy, the main idea of this story is about a little girl named Mibs Beaumont that comes from a family that has magical powers, which is called their savvy, and she is about to find out exactly what her savvy is when she turns thirteen. Her father ends up in the hospital and Mibs needs to wake him up. This story takes you on a journey in a company bus from Nebraska to Kansas, as Mibs is trying to get to Salina Hospital which is located in Kansas. This story does not give a specific time period or date, but the story does mention that Mibs’s birthday is on a Saturday and that their adventure started on that Saturday to the next day, Sunday. The author of this book is Ingrid Law, and she did a wonderful job on creating this fictional

The book, The Land of Stories, is one of my favorite book series. But for this report I am going to be focusing on the first book, The Wishing Spell. This book was written by Chris Colfer. This book was written in the genre of realistic/fantasy. The Wishing Spell has the right balance of both realistic people and times but also fairytale places and characters. In this story the setting happens in both modern times and partially in the fantasy world, or the “Land of Stories”. The point of view that this book is written in, is from our two main characters, Alex Bailey and Connor Bailey. These two, are twins in Mrs. Peters sixth grade class. My opinion of the theme of this book would be good over evil,
