    Ender's Game Theme

    “I've got a pretty good idea what children are, and we're not children. Children can lose sometimes, and nobody cares.

    Godzilla Themes

    The apocalyptic themes presented in Kaiju films are heavily related to the America use of atomic bombs on Japan. As the Americans are seen as the reason for the rise of Godzilla, they in turn are seen as the destroyers of Oda and Tokyo. This can be seen as a very direct way of blaming the Americans for the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the subsequent reign of terror and mass censorship that followed. For a period of seven years, during the occupation of Japan by American forces, censorship, particularly pertaining to the destruction of the atomic bombings was strong. Many of the criminals who were placed under Class-A, -B, or –C classifications were journalists. After the atomic bombings the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission (ABCC)…

    Deception Theme

    The art of lying and deception has developed over centuries of mistruth, to become in today's modern world a necessity of life. Thus, the theme I chose for my body of works is deception. Deception is the act of misleading another to believe information that is false. In this case, my body of works are trying to decieve the person's perspective as if it was a surreal moment. I chose this theme because it relates to our modern society and it will give the audience a chance to reflect back on themselves. Besides optical illusion pictures, not alot of artists are known to incorporate deception, due to the fact that they are scared of not getting their message across in a competitive art industry. Therefore, it makes it more original and unique if I attempt it so I can discover my capabilities and versatility in visual arts. To begin with, I came up with this theme when I watched the mismerizing…

    Our Stars Themes

    The Fault in Our Stars by John Green has a multitude of running themes throughout the novel. In my opinion, even though this is a fictional book, the themes, especially those pertaining to the way the universe works, are relatable and weigh on my people’s minds. For example, one theme is the fear of oblivion. I believe this is a theme in many people’s lives, not just in this book.…

    Characterization In All Summer In A Day By Ray Bradbury

    One example is when the children back Margot into a closet and lock her in. The children “caught her and bore her… back into a closet, where they slammed and locked the door.” (Bradbury pg. 3) Then ran back down the tunnel to the teacher smiling maliciously. This shows the theme by the way the children act towards Margot. They are so mean to her just because she believes in something that they don’t. Another example of the theme is after the children go outside for the first time in seven years and then they remember that Margot was still in the closet. The children suddenly realize that Margot was “still in the closet where we locked her” and stood as if “someone had driven them into the floor.” (Bradbury pg. 4) This shows the theme through the way Bradbury describes the children’s reaction when they realize that Margot had missed the sun because of them. They finally realized that they were wrong to treat her that way, and felt extremely guilty for being so disrespectful to her. The theme helps show the flaws in human nature by how the children treat Margot through the…
