Chrysan Anthem Theme Analysis
Some common themes that Chrysanthemum deals with are overcoming differences, bullying in school, and self-esteem issues. This picture book is easy for children to relate to because they have all either felt these different feelings. The emotional themes I want to discuss about this book are excited and loneliness. With a new environment, new people and friends, a lot of the times students will become lonely because they do not feel like they fit in or they do not know how to socialize with their friends. In my observation, there is a student name Ryan and he feels very lonely everyday because he does not know how to talk to his friends in his table because he feels shy. He would not talk to anyone during dancing time, work time, lunch and snack

    Blackheart Theme Analysis

    The theme of Blackheart by Mark Brazaitis is not everyone and everything is trustworthy. One even that shows this theme is when she approached the dog and saw his features. “Even with his gigantic, square head and his razor-blade teeth and his terrible scars, he looked familiar and approachable, like a misunderstood monster.” This shows the theme because she felt that she could trust the dog being friendly towards her, because when she sang to him he would calm down. Another place in the story that supports this theme is when she went to see him for the last time he looked at her and swore he was saying, “I want to know you without bars between us.” In this scene, the theme is shown because she believes the dog has…

    The Chrysalids Theme

    The Theme in John Whyndham’s novel “The Chrysalids” can actually be inferred from the book’s title. “Without change, there would simply be no progress or improvement”, is the main theme of this novel. The scientific definition of chrysalids is an insect in the stage of development between a larva and an adult insect. Chrysalids can also mean a preparatory or transitional state. In “The Chrysalids”, three main stages of civilizations can be identified. They are the Fringes civilizaztion, the Waknuk civilization, and the Sealand civilization. The Fringes civilization and the Waknuk civilization are both in a stage of change. The Sealand civilization is the end result of the progress of change, a well technological civilization. The Fringes people have the poorest civilization in the novel. They live in tents and shelters and often have to steal for food. On the other hand, the Waknuk people are a bit well off. They have steady lives and farm for a living. However, the Fringes people have a totally different view from the Waknuk people. The Fringes people think life is change and the reason that God sent Tribulation is because of the little change that is happening. The Waknuk people resist change. They think that if they have kept everything perfect, or in another word have kept everything the same, God would not have sent Tribulation. This belief made the Waknuk people have no progress in civilization. No newer breeds of animals are allowed and no new crops should be planted. Anything different from the original species would be cast away and thrown to the Fringes. The Fringes people had wanted change but sadly were repressed from doing so by the concepts of the Waknuk people. Similarily, as a result both the Fringes civilization and the Waknuk civilization made no further progress in their current civilizations. Unlike these two civilizations, the Sealand civilization has already made an amazing progress since the Tribulation. Large cities were built, and…

    Theme Song Analysis Essay

    My theme song is "Getting Better" by The Beatles. The Beatles were an English rock band formed in 1960. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, members of The Beatles, became widely regarded as the foremost and most influential act of the rock era. Rooted in skiffle, beat and 1950s rock and roll, the Beatles later experimented with several musical styles, ranging from pop ballads and Indian music to psychedelia and hard rock, often incorporating classical elements and unconventional recording techniques in innovative ways. In 1963 their popularity first emerged as "Beatlemania", and as the group's music grew in sophistication in subsequent years, led by primary songwriters Lennon and McCartney,…

    "Marigolds" Paragraph

    Most of the time, there’s a moment in life where one realizes that they have lost their innocence and gained compassion in the absence. “Marigolds” by Eugenia Collier shows how one young girl changed from a child to a young adult through her life experiences. Lizabeth is a 14 year old girl living in poverty with her parents, her 11 year old brother Joey, Miss Lottie and her son, and the neighborhood kids. As the leader of her group of friends, Lizabeth takes part in throwing stones at Miss Lottie's flowerbed of Marigolds. Miss Lottie is the town outcast and the children think of her as a witch. Annoying her is a common pastime for the children of the town. The children of the town hate Miss Lottie’s Marigolds because “They interfered with the perfect ugliness of the place; they were too beautiful; they said too much that we could not understand; they did not make sense.”(pg.3) The Marigolds reminded the children that they were in poverty, even when they tried so hard to shield that fact to themselves. They did not want to be reminded that the place they called home was what others often thought of as trash and they did not understand why something with such beauty could have grown in such a terrible place. One night, Lizabeth overheard her parents fighting and she witnessed her father, who was once the rock of the family, break down. She had to witness her world crumbling and in a rage, she went to Miss Lottie’s home and then started to destroy the Marigolds, but when Miss Lottie came out and seen what she had done, she as well, broke down. Lizabeth thought Miss Lottie would be furious but surprisingly she did not show anger because she felt that her life already ended because the marigolds represented her hope and she didn't have a reason to protect them anymore. It is the moment right after Miss Lottie caught her ruining the garden that Lizabeth suddenly understands a simple truth, “This was the beginning of compassion, and one cannot…

    Bruo Mars Song Analysis Essay

    In the number 2 position on the list was That’s what I like by Bruo Mars. The reason that I think so many people like this song is based on a few things. First off we are talking about Pop music, I am not saying that there is anything bad or good about that, but what I am saying is it is simple music that appeals to the majority of the population. For example, in the book the subject of those around you (friends and family) comes up. If the majority of the people around you listen to this music more than likely you will also find yourself in the same boat. Another aspect that could be pointed out would be road markers. I personally took this portion of the book two different ways. The first of the two ways being the parts of the song and how…
