Phenomenal Woman by Maya Angelou Numerous thoughts scattered through my mind as I strived to comprehend this poem. In my opinion‚ the writer’s main intentions of this poem was to convince the readers to take heed to yourself and no one else. In this poem the author illustrates a female that is imperfect but she is content regardless. I can honestly say this poem made me felt overwhelmed.

Theme is the main idea of what a story is about‚ and it could have a lesson that could speak to the reader. In the story‚“Rikki-Tikki-Tavi” I am certain that the theme is “greed can have negative outcomes”. Rudyard Kipling‚ the author of the “Rikki-Tikki-Tavi‚” couldn’t have made it more obvious.
