Theme is the subject of talk, a topic, or morals that the author is trying to get across to the readers. When reading an excerpt, the theme is not directly stated in the text, so you must dig deeper into the context to understand the morals the author is trying to portray. In both Angela's Ashes and The Street, we can detect a similar theme of struggling to get through life’s obstacles. When reading the two different stories, we can further pick out the theme by using character, events, and the setting.

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.

Theme is the central message in a literary work. In the story “Rikki Tikki Tavi” Rudyard Kipling, the theme is never give up. This is the theme because the protagonist in the story, Rikki, never gives up. Some people may feel that the theme is size doesn’t matter, but the main theme the author is trying to get across is never give up. The author wants to teach us to never give up.

The story of Rikki-Tikki-Tavi is of a story of a mongoose who fights to protect his garden and family. The classic tale of good versus evil, where the good triumphs evil. However, there lies an allusion to meaning between what “good” and “evil” is considered to be. Rudyard Kipling, the author of Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, portrays the cobras as evil, but are they really the evil one? They shouldn’t be the only one marked evil because even Rikki-Tikki resorted to such ways to achieve what he wanted. The true evil is the self-interest if these characters.

The theme of a story is the moral or lesson displayed in the story. The theme of both the short story Ransom Of Red Chief and the movie Home Alone is that looks can be deceiving. In Ransom of Red Chief two con men try to kidnap a boy and hold him for ransom money, but the boy tortures the con men. In Ransom of Red Chief it stated “ I jumped up to see what the matter was. Red Chief was sitting on Bill’s chest, with one hand wrapped around Bill’s hair. In the other he had a sharp knife we used for slicing bacon. He was trying really hard and with great realism to scalp Bill.”(O’Henry 65) This shows how the con men thought Red Chief was a harmless little boy but he ended up torturing Bill and Sam. In Home Alone Kevin’s family go on vacation and leave him at home. Kevin learns to live on his own, meanwhile two criminals are planning to rob his home. Kevin outsmarts the criminals and sets traps that they fall into. In a scene in Home Alone the two criminals that are robbing Kevin’s house are surprised when he set traps for them. This shows how the theme related to the story by Harry and Marv thought Kevin was a harmless kid when in actuality he was really smart.

Theme is a general insight into human nature provided by a literary work. To communicate this insight or observation about human nature, the author tells a story. Harper Lee told the story of To Kill a Mockingbird to convey the vital truth that hatred, prejudice, and ignorance pose threats to the innocent. Those who appreciate the good and accept the bad qualities of people by treating them with sympathy survive, but those who are vulnerable and are not prepared for the evil they encounter in the world are destroyed. This phenomenon of survival or failure to survive is best seen through the characters of Atticus, Tom Robinson and Boo Radley.

Theme is supported with textual evidence and is a lesson that is debatable. The topic in this fictional story about “Rikki-Tikki-Tavi” is definitely “Evil is punished, good is rewarded” since the writer, Rudyard Kipling makes it obvious that that is the theme. For example, the cobras represent evil because they are bullies. As a result, they are punished with death, while Rikki is rewarded with having a family, food, and place to live. Which Rikki-Tikki-Tavi helps people he doesn’t even really know. In contrast, I can kind of see that some people might think the theme is “Treat others, as you want to be treated.” I don’t think people realize that Rikki was nice, but Nagaina didn’t return that niceness. Just because Nagaina was mean all the

Theme is a lesson you learn that is at the end of a book or a movie. For some people rebellion is a common thing. We often rebel and don know thats what were doing it. In the movie ¨A river runs through it"rebellion is one of the main themes. Three ways it is shown is how Paul doesn accept help from his older brothers, he doesn obey the orders/wishes that his lparents give him, and how Paul refused to let go of the fish because he wanted it so bad. Throughout the movie there are many different ways that rebellion is shown.

The theme in a story is the truth or the main message. Theme also involves a life lesson. In the short story, “Rikki-Tikki-Tavi,” by Rudyard Kipling, the theme is clearly evil is punished and good is rewarded. The snakes, or the antagonists, are the evil in the story. While Rikki-tikki, the protagonist, is the good in the story. In the end, the snakes have perished and Rikki-tikki has won. The short story contains many actions, as well as dialogue, to prove this is obviously the theme. I understand how some people might think the theme is protecting those who are not able to protect themselves is a duty which everyone owes to society, but I will prove that my theme is the true message in the story.

Themes are the key points of the story as they provide the audience with a moral lesson or fundamental idea that the character in the story learns as a result of the plot. There are many

Although I greatly think the theme is repay people that help you, the other possible theme could be don’t judge a book by its cover. The protagonist in the short story, “Rikki-Tikki-Tavi” also known as Rikki, mongoose, and he repays everyone in the story. Rikki repays the parents is by sleeping beside Teddy and protecting him I know he protects Teddy because the text says, “Teddy is safer with that little beast than with a bloodhound to watch him.” Rikki repays the family is by terminating Karait,

According to Kelly Mays theme is “a fictional work’s point in the sense of its ‘essential meaning’ (or meanings).” Bao has themes in a lot of his poems, but the main ones that stick out were in his poem The Godzilla Sestina. The theme in that poem is, learn from the past and don’t repeat history. The title of the story, Godzilla, makes them think of a monster and when reading the poem the drop of the atomic bomb is almost like a monster. It was a scary thing that happened in history that no one should want to repeat. Another poem that stood out with a theme was Reverse Racism. After reading that poem, the theme the reader can take from that is treat others how you want to be treated. When reading reverse racism, Bao talks about stuff like “I’m going to teach nothing but Asian American history in every classroom” (59). Or “I’m gonna build garbage dumps in white neighborhoods and makes sure there’s a lot of lead in their water supply” (60). This to me, is Bao talking about how some different cultures or races just do not care about another races. They just do what is best for them, not what is best for all. The theme to treat others how you want to be treated just proves that, everyone should be treated equal and people should not treat others differently based off of race or gender. Themes bring a great big idea to

Firstly, Rikki Tikki explored the family's garden. Although, he seemed to notice the animals there were not thriving there, they all seemed to be scared. There were large plants and trees he found that he described, " big as houses." While in the garden, he met a tailorbird, Darzee, and his wife. They explained to Rikki Tikki that their family, and the whole garden was in danger. A cobra couple, Nag and Nagaina, scour the garden day and night, eating everything that looks tasty to them, and ate one of Darzee's children. While they three were talking, Nag and Nagaina

Theme is a lesson or moral that you can find throughout a story. In this short story “Rikki-Tikki-Tavi”, by Rudyard Kipling, the theme really stands out to me. Mr. Kipling clearly states that the theme is, size doesn’t matter. Just because you’re small doesn’t mean you can’t win against a larger person. In this story, Rikki is petite compared to the two cobras and he is able to get rid of both of the cobras. This proves that size doesn’t matter. However, I can see where people may think the theme would be good versus evil, but I will prove that the theme is size doesn’t matter.
