    The theme is the brutality of war. When the college friends were discussing about the war they’re about to take part in, Kropp said “Two years of shells and bombs a man won’t peel it off as easy as a sock” (Remarque 87). This shows the brutality of the war because it describes the effect the war puts on people is not easy to forget and for many, it’s permanent. As the friends were taking turns discussing war, Albert explained his view saying “The war has ruined us for everything” (Remarque 87). This shows brutality of war as well because it shows how broad the effect war is on people’s life. The theme of this book makes it a good book because its outcomes relates to the wars going on around the world right now. And it has important message/lesson on life in the front in the Great War, instead of just viewing the honor/patriotic part of the war it mainly focused on a very important part; fear and pressure. Thus the theme of this book is the brutality of war because of the characters description of the life at the front.…

    A theme is a unifying or dominant idea and clearly portrayed in this novella a few obvious themes may include defiance, rebellion, fear of the unknown and fear of death. This passage more so focuses on the theme of defiance; as they claimed "We light cigarettes against orders..". There is a higher authority that has set rules for the soldiers.

    “We can begin to explore the lineage of women as tale-tellers in a history that stretches from Philomela and Scheherazade to the raconteurs of French veillees and salons, to English peasants, governesses, and novelists, and to the German Spinnerinnen and the Brother’s Grimm.” (53-54) In the chapter “To Spin a Yarn: The Female Voice in Folklore and Fairy Tale” from Fairy Tales and Society: Illusion and Paradigm, Karen E. Rowe explores the depth and history of voicelessness of women and how the combination of spinning and tale-telling was their way of speaking in a society that would not let them. She takes the reader on a tale of a complex history that starts in ancient history with the Greeks, goes to the French, the English, German and ends with folk tale writers such as Perrault and the Brothers Grimm. The history that is exhibited displays that as long as spinning has existed, women and storytelling has existed. Women have forever used spinning or weaving as a way of having a voice in a time when they could not have their own.…

    three themes are important in showing how that ignorant adherence to man-made tenets, attributed to religion can dehumanize those who fail to meet those so-called dictates of the religion. The three themes show the greater meaning of how everything is united and the same and should be treated with the same respect, and how people shouldn't be controlled by fear and religion but stand up for what they think is right. If everyone in the Chrysalids stood up for what they thought was right and didn't discriminate others, there would be a chance for a greater future and happier ending for…

    Common Themes In Beowulf

    • 258 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Themes are lessons or ideas that an author wants to convey through his or her writing. Common themes found in literature are “treat others the way you want to be treated,” and “love will always conquer hate.” A theme in the epic poem, Beowulf, is that things will happen as they are meant to happen. The ideal of fate is consistently brought up throughout the poem as Beowulf heroically defeats many demons and beasts. It is believed in Beowulf’s culture that fate decides what happens to who and when. A prime example in the text is near the end of Beowulf’s life, as he is about to slay the dragon, he says, “'I meant to stand, not run from his shooting flames, stand till fate decides which of us wins.'' He is very old at this point and realizes…

    First off, the theme is portrayed through the plot. Most of the main events are not always off this theme as Turin struggles with consistent bad luck and tragic outcomes to everything he does. The central conflict that dives the plot is introduced on (Tolkien 63) when, “Morgoth streching out his long arm towards Dor-lomin cursed Hurin and Morwen and their offspring...” This shows that turin, as the son of Hurin, has been condemned to bad luck by Morgoth. The effects of this curse can be seen countless times throughout the story, one of these is when Nienor, turin's pregnant wife, discovers he is also her brother: “With that she cast herself over the brink; a flash of white shallowed in the dark chasm, a cry lost in the roaring of the river.” Major evens like this one show how the curse of Morgoth never fades. I can be concluded from the plot of The Children of Huring that the theme is that you can't escape your destiny.…

    The theme of how choices shape a person is another way authors can connect with the emotions of the reader, having them reflect on their choices and on how time has gone by, almost like a flashback while reading the poem. Theme is defined as a reoccurring underlining message, allowing the readers to get vaguely the same theme without too much interpretation. The theme in Robert Frost’s poem and E.E. Cummings poem is important…
