In our world today, being different is a good thing. Everyone tells people to be unique from others around us. Even though this might be the case today, the book Delirium, thinks different. The government of their society wants everyone to be cured from the so called disease, love. Lena, the main character, can’t wait to be cured in ninety-nine days but between those days the unexpected happens. She falls in love. The book, Delirium, by Lauren Oliver shows that, sometimes people can make people make decisions you would never choose.

“It Alex doesn’t come I’ll need to generate a plan of my own”(Oliver 422). This shows the theme because she would have never wanted to fall in love with a guy even after she was cured but she did anyways because she loved him. This is important because, if she had never fallen in love with Alex, none of this would have happened and she would have gotten cured without worrying about what Alex is doing and whether he will come to her when she’s being cured. When being connected with other people, they can sometimes make decisions for you that you wouldn’t approve. In the book, Lena and Alex meet each other at their interviews and quickly fall in love. The problem with this is that their society claims love as a disease. He forces her to do many things because they love each other. Especially when they get into a huge argument but Alex wants them to forgive each other. Only because he loves her.

...o the conclusion of the theme. I strongly think that the message the author Sharon Draper was trying to explain to the readers is that even though we all fall that we also must learn to get back up. Amari had given me inspiration because even thought she went through some of the worst problems that any girl her age can experience Amari with the help of everyone around her was able to use her backbone to get her back up and lift her head up high to accept what future awaited her. The people around her helped shape who she will be one day and I can relate this to my life in which I choose to follow or not follow the ideas of society to help shape my future life into a better one than it is right now. And I have also learned that even through the toughest times to always remember that I am not alone, that I have my experiences and hopes to guide me through the journey.
Theme: The theme of the story is that sometimes in life you have to make sacrifices, big or small, to help things that are more important then what benefits you more.

There are many different themes in, “Love Medicine” a book written by Louise Erdrich. Some of which are poverty, family, racism, and religion. The one that I am going to write about, is love. Love is one of the most prominent themes in this book. It conveys a mother’s love for her children, a wife’s love for her husband, and a son’s love for the ones whom he perceives his parents to be. This is but to name a few examples of love found in the book by Ms. Erdrich. However, there is also the lack of love that this work of literature portrays. There is mistreatment and betrayal, which are examples that are opposite of love.

Oftentimes, in the public, people have to be “normal” to be successful and accepted. Author William Saroyan believes that society steers people to be conform and fit in, but he disagrees.

“I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul and to me, this has always been enough.” That is a quote from The Notebook, a famous book written by Nicholas Sparks in 1996.
