The theme of this novel is that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. What I mean is that something good always comes out of the bad. As you could see Steve was mistaken for being the murder of the guy at the Drugstore and almost got life in prison. But at the end of the story, he is found innocent. Steve has the same personality as your average everyday teenage boy, at times he wants to be tough like the rest of the boys but at other times he has a hard time finding self-identification. I know Steve feels the need to act tough because the author states “ All they talk about in here is hurting people. If you look at somebody, they say, “ what you looking at for? I’ll mess you up!” If you make a noise they don’t like, they say they

I learned a lot from this book I learned not to get in gangs and stay true to your family. I liked a quote in this story it said “things are rough all over” to me that meant no matter where you are where you go things are going to be rough so just stop running away from problems because it’s just going to create more. Dally and Sodapop both kind of remind me of myself because I don’t care about nothing but I can understand people and the different things they like and nothing don’t scare me. I think the theme of this story is to be your brothers keeper.
If my life had no purpose, no individuality, and no happiness, I would not want to live. This book teaches the importance of self expression and independence. If we did not have these necessities, then life would be like those in this novel. Empty, redundant, and fearful. The quotes above show how different life can be without our basic freedoms. This novel was very interesting and it shows, no matter how dismal a situation is, there is always a way out if you never give up, even if you have to do it alone.
Facing reality is a strong theme in this book. Peer pressure is something we’ve all heard of. You may not realize it, but it is a theme in Monster. “It was me, I thought as I tried not to throw up, who wanted to be tough like them [Bobo and King]”- pg.130 STEVE. This quote shows he wanted to be tough like Bobo and King and shows Osvaldo, who accused Steve of being lame.
It subtly exposes the tragedies that people with instinct of self-interest could control their own fate in the unpredictable future, while others who paralyzed in past success and unrealistic fantasies could not. It also shows how those who were unable to update themselves from 1.0 finally became the prey of those 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 and so on. It is a story about self-interest is the winner.

The stories suggest we shouldn’t be spending so much time trying to get to the “Happy Ending”, and we should be more concerned about what’s going on in the middle. The majority of us are that typical person living the typical life, and perhaps Atwood is suggesting that we strive for more.

In the book Hatchet by Gary Paulsen, multiple themes are presented. One of which is hope, never giving up and something is always there to help you are the alternate themes.

Another theme is the ability of a person to have some dignity even when it feels like the world is against you. These themes remain important today because it teaches us what can happen to a person if their dreams are never fulfilled. For example, Walter had a dream to open a liquor store, however this dream never came true after Willy (the person Walter gave the money too to open the store) betrayed him. He broke down and felt hopeless. It also teaches us that dignity is important, Walter also portrayed his need for dignity after he rejects the offer of Mr. Linder from the“home improvement
10. The theme of the story is that people will do anything for their loved ones even though it means it will hurt other people that are innocent. The quote “How brave. How desperate. How insane. To keep her son from a manslaughter charge that might have turned into murder, she would scar herself and send another man to his death” (328) describes how Connie did everything she could to protect her son Neil, despite the fact that she would be hurting an innocent man. This theme is very true and applies in many situation where people are carelessly blamed from crimes that they didn’t commit.

“How much can you know about yourself if you have never been in a fight?” asked Tyler Durden as he pleads to get hit in the face? Notably, the book Fight Club shows the late 20th century man feel emasculate due to how society has evolved overtime, and eventually tries to regain his manhood in a violent and powerful fashion. The unnamed narrator in Fight Club characterizes with these types of men. His alter ego Tyler Durden helps the narrator identify his masculinity and how society has affected it. They both go through a passage of manhood that includes the formation of Fight Club and later on Project Mayhem, the narrator regains his masculinity by brawling strangers, and later on by causing anarchy. Fight Club shows how much empowerment men use to have, and how the loss of that has men feeling less masculine.
In conclusion, Frost uses the symbolism and tone to display the theme to his readers. He teaches the lesson that although choosing the harder path may be more challenging, it also has the chance of being more worthwhile. By using symbolism to metaphorically represent the two choices and the difficulty of the narrators decision, Frost illustrates to his audience that the right choice may not always be clear. However, Frost uses tone to show that even though the narrator was unsure of his decision at first, it all worked out in the end. The theme of life decisions is so relatable to its audience because everyone faces a difficult at some point, and Frost makes the point that hard decisions are a part of life, as are doubt and regret, but making the most out of the circumstances is the best way to be pleased with the outcome.
