Yoshiko Uchida The Wise Old Woman

For example, at the beginning of the story, the young lord said, “I have no use for old people in my village.” Throughout the story, the young lords mind had obviously changed. In paragraph 46 the young lord said, “I have been very wrong.” as well as, “And I must ask for the forgiveness of your mother and all of my people.” This is where you see that the mind of the lord is changing, which is showing you the theme. The young lord’s dialogue shows me that it is very unjust to treat the elderly without respect. What the characters say in the story strongly suggest the theme, which is that elders should be appreciated and treated with

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.

Due to this, the family steals food in order to cure their hunger. This shows the theme beacuse it shows that in times of need, sometimes people have to do what is best for themselves instead of thinking about others. The Street also shows the same theme by using the wind as an annoyance to the people in the street, an event in the excerpt. “It wrapped newspaper around their feet entangling them until the people cursed deep in their throats, stamped their feet, and kicked off the paper.” (Petry 2). Due to the wind, the people are inferior and are becoming annoyed with everything that is being thrown at them. This annoyance causes the people the make violent remarks. Because of the wind, the people were forced to do these things even if some of them didn’t want to. Overall, both McCourt and Petry used events to help tell the theme.

(Chapter 8, paragraph 3), and “Our face was not like the faces of our brothers, for we felt no pity when looking upon it”. (Chapter 8, paragraph 6) are some examples of how the quote above exemplifies a theme. Also, it exemplifies a theme because he is his own person in the Uncharted Forest. “We thought suddenly that we could lie thus as long as we wished, and we laughed aloud at the thought.” (Chapter 8, paragraph 2), and “Our arms stretched out of their own will, and our body whirled and whirled, till it raised a wind to rustle through the leaves of the bushes” (Chapter 8, paragraph 2) are some examples of how he is his own person in the uncharted

The theme I chose was darkness. This can be seen in the fact that all of the crops and food are dying because of a lack of water and lack of rain. Since there was a lack of water, the dirt was very loose, and was blown around a lot. This created dust storms, which killed or hurt crops and how they grew. This created darkness. Dust was blowing everywhere, making people cough, making it hard for people to breath. It was hard for people to live around all of the dust. It was a dark time.

This is a vastly different life than the one lived by the Grandmother in "The Firewood Gatherers". While she too was old, her life was made different not only by geographical location but by her family. She was blind

In the story Harrison Bergeron wrote by Kurt Vonnegurt, the figurative language and theme play a key role in setting different moods. One type of figurative language used by the author was a simile to describe Harrison and the ballerina’s dancing and gracefulness. For example,on page 26, Vonnegurt writes, “They leaped like deer on the moon”. This quote makes the reader feel the mood of freedom. The second type of figurative language used by the author was imagery to describe how the the girl looked without her mask on.
