Themes Of Almost Home

- Characters: The main character is developed by what type of book the author is writing. My main character Sugar Mae Cole was developed because of the way she acts toward different characters in the book. And by her personality and sugars personality is sweet kinda like her name and she is polite. She is always trying to brighten the other characters up especially her mom Reba. She has a different personality that any of the other characters and connects with them in a different way that is what makes her the main character. she is cautious and also believes in people and things like her mom. Her mom Reba is about to give up but Sugar still believes in her and she believes she and her Mom will get a home and things will

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.

That theme is that there’s nothing holding you back but yourself. The way that the passage from the novel, “Boy’s Life”, has that theme is when it’s almost summer break, but his teacher is holding in the class. After a while the teacher lets them go, but keeps in Cory to talk to him about a writing contest. He just shouldn’t have been stubborn and talked to her because she was going to let him go, but he just kept on shrugging his shoulder and not answering her. He finally caught up to it and realized that he should respond so he can get out and start his break. However, “Emancipation: A Life Fable”, shows the theme is that when the animal saw the door open it wanted to leave to get out into the world, but it was holding itself back and stayed in the cage for a period of time. One it saw more and more light it finally one day decided to leave. The animal was holding its own self back if it just wanted to go it

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.

A little boy scavenges in a dumpster in an alley, desperate for food. Separated from his family, he is lost on the streets of Calcutta. After weeks of barely surviving on the treacherous streets, he is taken to an adoption agency and adopted by an Australian couple. Although it seems like fiction, it is fact. This remarkable story is Saroo Brierley’s, and his memoir A Long Way Home, tells this miraculous story of his childhood and how he came to find his birth family. Throughout the memoir, Brierley weaves a tale of his hardships and developing his identity. In his memoir A Long Way Home, Saroo Brierley uses the literary devices of pacing, imagery, and external conflict to illustrate how the hardships one must endure shape one’s identity,

One event that happened in this book that proves that the theme is true is when people who are sober came to rehab and talked to the kids and told them that things will get better and that it will get easier to go without the things they are addicted to. These people who use to be addicts who are now sober make a huge impact on the kids, showing them that that could be them someday. Another event that happens in the book that shows the key theme is when Eva and her Dad work out their problems during family day. After Eva's mom died, her and her dad stopped talking. Eva felt like she was invisible to her dad and felt like she didn’t even have a father. When Eva was doing drugs she was always hoping that her dad would pay attention to her and catch her, but he didn’t for about a year. When her dad did find out that she was an addict it didn't make anything better, it just made things worse. Now her dad was ashamed of his daughter. The daughter that he hadn’t payed attention to for the past year. When there was family day at rehab Eva and her dad got to share their real feelings with each other and work all of their problems out, resulting in forgiving each other and acknowledging that they both are still mourning of their mother/wife's death and will now help each other with the pain. The final event that happened in Clean that showed the theme that bad times get better is that by the end of the

The author also shows the theme when Maddy states, “I don't know what I'm doing, only that I have to. “ This proves the theme because Maddy knows that she could possibly die if she were to runaway, but still decides to take that risk because she knows she would regret it forever if she were to pass up the opportunity.

  The theme of hope reoccurs at multiple points in the book. The theme of hope not only occurs for the characters, but it also occurs for the reader. At times hope is ripped from the reader, and at other times it is present in a large way. When the boy and the father stumble

There are many ways “Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave” and “Egyptian Girl Kept As Slave In California Home” are both alike and different. The girl kept as a slave in California showed an amazing example of slavery now in the 21st century. She was taken from her family and not was allowed to go to school, or do anything that normal children do until she was rescued. Because of her time of neglect and hardship she prospered and became an amazing person because of her experiences. Frederick Douglas’ story however shows us an example of slavery in history.

The movie Which Way Home was a tough movie at some points to watch. This is due to the harsh realities those migrating north face when they leave everything behind to try and make it to The United States. Furthermore, the difficult themes of death and lost loved ones can be hard to watch for some. For the majority movie, the film followed unaccompanied minors on their journey to the North riding on the trains going from southern Mexico to the US-Mexico border. But the minors were eventually set in their place when they started experiencing the atrocities one could fine on the perilous journey.

This gives the reader a real look into the lives of those unfortunate, which also delivers the theme of the story. The theme is American Dream versus American reality.

One of the themes is to be strong. This is present when Miles goes to Alaska for comfort and she tells him,”Mommy ain’t here so buck up big guy,”(Green 27). The message is important because life is filled with problems, but everyone has to keep going. Another theme in the book is to not think of a person as anything but a person.

Susie then observed her mother put her jacket on and Susie’s face turned from smiling to sad as she realized that her mother was going out. Molly had sat for Susie many times in the past month, and Susie had never reacted like this before. When Susie’s mother returned home, the sitter told her that Susie had cried until she knew that her mother had left and then they had a nice time playing with toys until she heard her mother’s key in the door. Then Susie began crying once again.

I think the theme of this story is survival. There are many reasons that I think the theme is survival. There are dire circumstances that the main character has to overcome. A factor that leads me to believe that survival is the theme of the story is that many people do not survive and the main character and her family does. An example that led me to believe this is that early in the book the mother does not want to give anything away, even though she “used to be the queen of blood drives and buying teddy bears for homeless kids”.

Identifying yourself as a person can in many cases become very complicated, this is the example of the story Dead End.
