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.

Oklahoma! Is the first musical that was written by both Oscar Hammerstein II and Richard Rodgers, or commonly known as the pair “Rodgers and Hammerstein”. Written in 1906 and produced in 1943 on Broadway; the pair wrote this musical revolving around the love stories of various people living in Oklahoma territory when there was a very firm grip on gender roles, especially the presence of male domination. Oklahoma! Supplies the audience with heavy acts of male domination in various dance numbers like “The Farmer and the Cowman” songs; such as “Poor Jud is Dea”, “Oh What a Beautiful Mornin” and even disputes between cowboys and farmers. Oklahoma’s patriotic love story seems as if it was made to be viewed by people as an act of recreation, but also for people who want to explore the time of frontier America where male dominance was heavily present.

The theme is to always be prepared for the most unlikely situations in life. In the novel, Eadlyn Schreave starts the contest with no intent for any part of her life to change, but slowly comes to find that her whole life is changing and there is nothing she can do but embrace it.

The first theme is fever cooperation. An example of this is when mother was sick with fever and wants Mattie and grandfather to go to the Ludington's farm to avoid getting sick. This shows cooperation because

One example of the theme is when there is an incident at the vegetable shop. In this event Tish is harassed by a White Italian. When Fonny sees what happened he defends her and is almost arrested for it. That is when Officer BEll starts targeting Fonny. Which will later prove costly.

The three most prominent themes in the novel are as follow, love, self-discovery, and finding a voice. The first theme of love is portrayed throughout the entire novel. Janie falls in love with many guys, and is also forced to love a man. The high point of this theme can be seen at the ending of the novel when Janie kills Tea Cake, the narrator says, “Janie held his head tightly to her breast and wept and thanked him wordlessly for giving her the chance for loving service” (184). While Janie kills Tea Cake, she did it to protect herself, and because she wanted to put him out of his misery. This is an example of unconditional love, and Janie’s feelings towards him. She loves him, but had to do what was necessary. The theme of self-discovery

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,

Oklahoma!, Company and Look Back in Anger all shares a common theme between them which is ‘Romantic Love’. In weeks three, five and seven we discussed the two musicals and play and when i read through them I discovered the theme which occurred in all of them. The musical Oklahoma! written by the team of composer Richard Rodgers and librettist Oscar Hammerstein II is about two young cowboys in the mid nineteen-fifties competing for the women they love. The main couple are Curly and Laurley.

In S.E Hinton The Outsiders The theme of the books is To do the right thing even tho you may get in trouble or get hurt the Author uses Conflict,Plot and Characters to show the theme throughout the story The first way S.E Hinton showed the Theme is through the Characters.The main characters of The Outsiders are Ponyboy Curtis ,Sodapop Curtis,Dallas Winston(Dally),Keith Mathews(Two-Bit) , Darrel Curtis(Darry) Johnny Cade.After Johnny Died from burns saving children in a burning church Dally was broken and then Robbed and Store and was Shot by Police . Ponyboy Says “Don't Think of Dally Breaking Up in the hospital,crumpling under the street light.” Even tho Dally didn't want to help the kids he help then Johnny died from the burns which Emotionally

Meanwhile another one of his peers exhibits similar symptoms of demonic oppression. Hadrea slept with him as well. He becomes enraged with her because of a scandal that gets leaked about his relation to his father. She is the only person he told his secret. When he confronts her about it she mocks him.

My theme for is “It’s important to do the right thing even if others think it’s wrong.” Sometimes in life a decision comes up that isn’t very easy to make a choice. But no matter what you should always choose the right thing even if it may seem wrong. These might be choices that the miser had to make and he possibly made the wrong ones that made him end up where he is now. My interpretation of this theme is that it’s hard to do the right thing when everybody else disagrees with you but you have to do it. Other people could see it as something to do with peer pressure.

The theme in a short story is the message about life or human nature that is “the focus” in the story that the writer tells (Glossary...3) In Desiree’s baby one of the themes in the story was about family love.”Marriage, and later the birth of his son had softened Armand Aubigny’s imperious and exacting nature greatly” This quote elaborates how familial love transforms Armand into a man with love and happiness in his heart and feelings towards the slaves. He had a different mind set towards his slaves, he was very cruel to his slaves. Until he met Desiree and fell in love with her and in the process of their love they brought into the world a baby boy. And Armand being the husband and father loved his child like so and took care of him. That

In a short story or novel, there is always a theme that the author has positioned in the story. The author may directly state what the theme may be or he may indirectly convey it through events or if not through the actions of the characters. The theme of a story usually holds the central insight making it one of the most important aspects to a story. The theme in a story usually is one that makes an observation about life which makes the reader think. A story that could be used as an example would be “Once Upon A Time” by Nadine Gordimer, one interpretation of what the theme may be for this story is that one's fears make one take extreme measures only to be hurt by their own contraption of security. “Once Upon A Time” talks about the extreme measures that people take when in fear, this interpretation of what the theme may be is supported by the story's plot and structure along with its characterization.
