I want to highlight the three moods everyone felt. The first mood was Luckiness; Annie was extremely lucky to be adopted to such a rich man through such hard times. Especially with how much he cared for her. Another Feeling was Good vs. Evil; due to with Miss Hannigan, she wanted the money reward so desperately she would have done anything to envisage. But, she knew better than to let someone kill Annie, so she helped by stopping Rooster from killing Annie. Finally, there was that overall good feeling; the movie is just so exceptional that you just can't help dancing! With all the happiness, it's hard to imagine how tough it was for everyone to get …show more content…
One of the numberless themes was Optimistic Output in Life; even with the hard times people just genuinely made the best of it. No matter how poor one may be, they still made the best of it. They also gave Hope, Optimism, and Justice; they genuinely did hope for the best and gave justice to everything little gift they received. Finally, the theme of Homeless and Unemployed; since no one had any money, no one had jobs as well. Also, it happened to so many numberless people it was hard to not notice how effective it was for
Here it is seen that McClung is developing and proceeding in her fight to provide equality among the sexes, by allowing girls to participate in sporting games. She was providing her female students with the privileges they rightfully deserve. Furthermore, she again went against the norms of a woman in the nineteenth century by simply being a teacher.

It was also at Hazel school that Nellie met the woman who would make the largest impact on her life, Annie McClung.
...in theme.The main theme is rasisms,blacks being treated unfairly and being discriminated by the whites.These type of books interest me a lot and The Help shows us that things can change.I also liked the other themes,for example,bravery,all three main characters were brave and took risk to make a difference.
She would get a job away from her current home during the summer and then come back to finish her schooling. After graduating high school, Annie has decided to go to college instead of staying at home like everyone expects her to. She winds up getting a scholarship at Natchez College in Mississippi. This is the beginning of a long journey for her. Before working with SNCC and NAACP, the protests she puts on are small but still make a difference.

Through these, the portrayal of the complex nature of happiness is shown to contribute to the enduring value of the film through the realistic style of the film and by showing different perspectives on the same person showing the audience that different people view actions in different
In the book, My Ántonia, by Willa Cather, the main character of Jim Burden comes to learn many lessons about life in this coming of age story. The dramatic tale of Jim and his relationships with his family and friends weaves a unique depiction of frontier life that is rarely seen. The lessons that the main character learn throughout his time on the Nebraska plains are powerful values and characteristics that help Jim become the man he is. Jim never comes to the conclusion that his story is about his maturation, as he see the tales as reminiscence of his friend Ántonia. The lessons of education and loyalty are all throughout the novel, but one lesson is at the center of My Ántonia. The idea that people must love others for who they are and not for who they wish they would be is a life altering lesson that makes Jim a dynamic character. The story details the timeline of Jim’s life as he grows up, and then as he is older, his journey of discovering how he can always find his way back to loving the best in people. This lesson can be no more apparent than in Jim and Ántonia’s relationship.

Annie Dillard’s Pilgrim at Tinker Creek features various creatures struggling to survive in the perilous habitats of Tinker Creek. From her own experiences living near the creek, she presents detailed descriptions of the deaths of different insects and animals, mainly due to attacks from other creatures of the same species. Throughout the distinct chapters of her book, she stalks and studies the creatures to construct an overarching theme of life. Dillard argues that in order for any creature to sustain its life, it must cause death to others, even if it means killing members of its own group. In an attempt to expose this horror of reality, Dillard astonishingly employs the muskrat, often thought as a peaceful creature found enjoying the calm water. By presenting the muskrat as a victim of its predators as well as a predator of its own species, Dillard reveals that even the most peace-loving creatures, like the muskrat, are both the objects and the subjects of death.
One theme was survival. People risked their lives during an air to get a drop more of soup, sons killed fathers for a ration of bread, rippin clothes off the dead (or believed to be deid) to stay warm!

The first theme, racism in which the narrator is trying to find out who he is.

I find myself following in the literary footsteps of my beloved sister, Alyssa. Her pure love for reading and her stretched imagination has intrigued me ever since I was younger. She always had her nose in a book, and being her little brother I tried to emulate her thirst for words. My sister is my role model, in my everyday life, but I also have to look up to her when it comes to reading and writing. She is able to manipulate words to conform a complete and truly beautiful thought. Alyssa has impacted my literacy and language development through her passion for reading and her ever-growing imagination, which has lead to the way I read, write, and converse in everyday life.
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
There are many themes that occur and can be interpreted differently throughout the novel. The three main themes that stand out most are healing, communication, and relationships.
From the beginning of the film until the end Annie is struggling to find her own self, often she is experiencing the negative cycle of the self-concept. Contributors to the self-concept include; self-esteem, reflected appraisal and social comparison, and all of this can be subjective, flexible and resistant to change. In the first parts of the movie it really showcases that
Despite the fact the made some poor choices, his opportunities were limited by having been brown, being poor, having irresponsible parents, and people’s betrayal. When Baca was thirteen, Sister Anna Louise failed to place him in a foster home. Baca writes, “When protective parents come, my brother and I are never chosen. Our hair, our color, our speech- everything is wrong about us”(174). Foster home can be the start of his life. However, due to his race and language he speak, he never got the chance. Here author uses “everything is wrong” to describe his brother and him. His race or the language is not his intention, it is something he born with. Even he didn’t do anything wrong at that time, theses protective parents already labels them as
