I found a theme that carried throughout the whole book, Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins. This is the story about Katniss Everdeen and how she got drafted to fight twenty-three others in an arena. She must go through many struggles to end up winning, along with her new lover, Peeta. One simple theme, perseverance, runs throughout the whole book. The complex lesson the story suggests is that perseverance, emotional or physical, not only helps one, but helps others and causes them to persevere as well. Giving up may cause others to persevere. In the scene, “She must have really loved him to leave her home for the Seam,” it really made notice something. In this paragraph, Katniss’ mother left her home to marry her future husband. He ended up dying in a coal mine, and she broke down and stopped doing anything. The author mentions, “All I can see is the woman who sat by, blank and unreachable, while her children turned to skin and bones.” Katniss is realizing that she can’t give up herself, and she must persevere. I think she does this because even though her family is not helpful, she still loves them. I am thinking that the opposite of persevering, giving up, could lead to others persevering. This attitude may be because of anger, love, or even fear. All these emotions play a role in Katniss not following her mother’s actions. This is also clear when Haymitch is drunk and gives up on Katniss and Peeta. Katniss decides to almost stab him, and send a message that he should be
The book Found by Margaret peterson has a big part of the book where the author tries to bring out is the theme. The theme she tries to bring out is teamwork is needed in order to succeed. She shows this theme in the beginning, the middle, and in the end of the book.
All three of these themes really helps you go in depth into the story. You realize how many times each of these pop up, which events they popped up in, and how important those events even were. We see you never know the worth of water until the well is dry with Sal as well as Phoebe, maybe even Mrs.Cadaver. When Sal’s mom leaves because she feels rotten in comparison to Sal’s father, we find this is a major event because we now have an insight as to why she left, she didn’t feel perfect, even though she was only human. Sal accepting her mother death was a terrible thing in her life, yet she had to and was also a key event in the story. These themes can all easily be integrated into our modern day society. Such as when you lose a relative, you have to accept their death even if you desperately don’t want to or when said family member dies you don’t realize how much they mean to you. Or with all the stereotypes and expectations we sometimes forget that we’re all only human. Tell people close to you you love them, you’ll never know when you’ll lose them. Make sure they know you appreciate them, but most of all, always know that nobody’s
A theme is a specific reason that something is happening in a book or a movie. A theme is also in real life. A theme in real life could be you doing something for a specific reason over and over again. The two classic stories of Romeo and Juliet and The Odyssey may at first seem very different. One is Ancient Greek and the other is the late 1500’s. One of these stories is more of a hero’s journey while one is more of a love story between star crossed lovers. The themes between The Odyssey and Romeo and Juliet are very similar. The three themes are Loyalty, Love, and Strength. The first theme that is similar between these two books is Loyalty.
My first theme is don't give up. The theme of don't give up is a important theme because she is always running into issues. When Kira is born at the beginning of the book she learns her father has been taken by beats. A few pages later her mom dies to a unknown sickness. They burn all her stuff as to take precautions in case the sickness was contagious. Another way the theme was important was when Vandara took Kira to the council of guardians to try and make her go out to the field because she had a disability and they usually gave disabilitated kids to the beasts at birth. She could not give up hope that she would be sent to the beasts and at the end she was allowed to stay and got the job as the weaver for the singers robe. This shows that people can push through bad situations and are able to profit from it. You should never give up at anything you do.
The theme is the subject of the essay and it helps the reader to get the full understanding about the message or a big idea. “School of Hate” by Sabrina Rubin Erdely and “18 Tigers, 17 Lions, 8 Bears, 3 Cougars, 2 Wolves, 1 Baboon, 1 Macaque, and 1 Man Dead in Ohio” by Chris Heath have one similar theme and it is isolation because they both experienced as the outcasts and it was hard for them to getting along with the society. Erdely developed the theme by showing the experiences of a girl in the middle school. The author made the
In the Book The hunger games Katniss Everdeen faces overwhelming adversity when she finds herself found in the clutches of the capital stuck in the hunger games. Katniss is able to overcome this adversity by having strong characteristics like her intelligence, resourcefulness and being courageous, these characteristics will be discussed throughout the essay outlining exactly why these characteristics help katniss in the games.
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 a debatable topic among stories, some will agree and most have their own take. Two great novels that debate themes constantly are The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald written about a young man who becomes super wealthy and Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorn a story of a young women who does not fit into society. The novels The Great Gatsby and Scarlet Letter disagree on the theme that people look to self-improvement to help get what they want, evidenced by plot, tone, and, character.
Mr. Radley stays is taciturn and never says much to Jem and Scout when they walk by the house.
To begin with, one major theme that continuously played a part throughout the entire book is desire. To many of the characters, it was the one urge that they could never overcome. One
She tirelessly and illegally hunts for food so that her mother and sister may have something to eat which can sometimes be difficult since they live in district twelve, the coal mining district which is also the lowest in economic standing. Her love for her sister is what fuels her bravery. Katniss considers herself as a motherly figure ever since the passing of her father.
In every literary work, there are themes. A theme is a broad idea, moral or message of a book or story. One individual may construe the themes of a book or story differently than another, but that is the pure beauty of themes. One great literary work is The Crucible, a play written by Arthur Miller. Succinctly, the play is about the Salem witch trials that took place in Massachusetts in 1692. Throughout the story, the townspeople indict their neighbors of being a witch and practicing witchcraft. On the surface, this historical drama has a few universal and enduring themes. Themes are universal because regardless of where in the world, the ideas still relates to everyone and is understood. Themes are enduring because the ideas are found
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 Hunger Games is a film about survival, and when survival seems impossible there is only one thing left to count on: hope. When Katniss takes her sister’s place in the murderous free-for-all known as the Hunger Games, her life changes, and not for the better. Suddenly, Katniss finds herself in a world where killing is the only way to survive. Luckily, she has help along the way. A casual observer of the film is likely to notice the presence of many mentors in Katniss’ story, but that observation becomes more important when it is combined with the importance and relevance of hope.
In the novel “ The Breadwinner” My theme is “Courage.¨ It is about a girl named Parvana and her family is in danger she is losing money and now Parvana's has to make a big commitment. Not only that, but her dad got taken away and now he is in Jail. Parvana has to do something very brave and she must have a lot of courage to this, she has to act and dress like a boy in order to get money and take care of her family. Every day Parvana would go to the market and work, One-day Parvana was walking and Parvana saw a girl in an alleyway sitting there with no burqa on and Parvana told the girl to come to her house. The parts of the book show that this theme for this book is courage and for sure it will make you believe that theme is a good theme for this book.
