I think that the theme is family survival because Miranda’s family is trying to survive in the new harsh weather in the world. The theme is inferred when it comes to books because the author isn’t just going to tell you the theme because the author wants you to really understand the book.

These include faith and forgiveness as a source of strength, violence and prejudice as learned behaviors; friends becoming enemies, and the loss of innocence. The most apparent theme is faith and forgiveness as a source of strength because of how Immaculee's faith guides her through the genocide and how forgiveness gives her the power to let go and heal her enemies.

    That theme is adults need to pay more attention to the kids they are in charge of because if not unwanted things can happen. This theme is seen throughout the short stories in lots of places a couple of examples of this theme in Zero hour is when the dad gets home from work and thinks Mink is just playing hide and seek or when Mink tells her mom that she is summoning aliens and the mom thinks it's just a kids game. Some examples of this theme in All Summer in a day are when Margot got shoved by a classmate when the teacher was not paying attention, or when the teacher walked away and she was locked in the closet while the sun was out for the 1 time in 7 years. This supports my claim because it really shows the similarities between these 2 stories the themes of the book is like the backbone it really holds it together and keeps it interesting if there were really bad themes then there would be nothing to take away from the book and really learn from the story which makes it a lot more interesting and exhilarating. Since the themes are so important and both of the short stories share them this makes the 2 all the more

    The theme off the story is successes of doing right and tragedy of doing wrong. The theme is oblivious after reading through the book. Wes Moore wrote in the introduction “our destinies can be determined by a single stumble down the wrong path, or a tentative step down the right one.” I believe this is what he is trying to teach us about humanity through his work. The book show both sides of humanity the dark side and when its at it best.

    The second example of theme in this story is Romance. I chose this theme for romance because this whole story is about the narrator trying to get a seventeen year old girl for his whole summer, “There was a summer in my life when the only creature that seemed lovelier to me than a largemouth bass was Sheila Mant”. This quote shows how much he likes this Sheila and how much he wants to take her on a date before the summer ends. I chose romance as a theme because the narrator in the story has strong feelings for Sheila and he sacrificed the biggest fish of his life just to make Sheila like

  • Life Of Pi Theme Essay

    1027 Words  | 5 Pages

    The theme that I decided was most dominant when working on the graphics assignment was “The Will to Live”. On the other hand, the theme that was decided to be the most dominant when working on the Pi’s life at sea assignment was “The Savagery of Survival”. These themes, though quite similar in ways, are not the same and the reason why I think they were chosen differently is because of context. When I decided which theme was most important in Life of Pi, I was basing it off of the whole book, whereas when we did it as a group, we were basing it off the time spent at sea. Also, we were basing it off of Pi’s activities alone and not anyone else's (ex: Richard Parker or orangutan).
