Literary theme is the main point of the story.
2. What is the theme of your life, as you see it right now?
The theme of my life is that "STUDYINg IS EVERYTHING." My theme does seem quite sad but then again keep in mind I have asian parents. :) Well, since I am an American citizen, I would like to live in America when I grow up. However, as a minority in America, I have a disadvantage. Therefore I have to work extra hard to get a spot at the top. I do hate to admit this, but studying seems to be literally everything. I have to study well so that I can get into a good college. After graduating from a good college, I will be able to land an efficient job that will be able to support me and my family. However, there will be competition in getting there, therefore I need to do more than just normal.
3. In your opinion, what is the theme of God's plan for this world?
It is that we as humans can have a chance to have a relationship with God and that we have peace among ourselves. If you look at our world, it is seriously messed up. There is so much crime and sin. Not only do we as individuals commit crime but even countries and powerful rulers do so too. Strong nations gathered up thetop scientists and created a bomb that can kill off lots and lots of people at the same time. Therefore, I think that God's plan is that we learn from this and that we would all have peace and get to believe in Him because we are all sinful. 1.How can you figure out a theme in a short story? Describe the proccess.
First we need to analyze the characters, such as making connections and finding out what his or her personality is like.
Secondly we need to identify the conflict. The conflict always somehow involves the main character in the short story. The main conflict can reveal a lot of things about the main character, therefore it is crucial to understand the conflict.
Lastly, look at the short story generally. The characters and their personalities, understanding the conflict, and just basically getting to know the story itself.
2. What is theme of "The Utterly Perfect Murder" and how does this theme relate to your own life?
I think that the theme of The Utterly Perfect Murder is that small things we do can have bigger impacts and change a person. Ralph bullied Doug and at that time, it was just pretty innocent. Ralph would have never thought Doug would have all these different mixed emotions and anger. However, as Doug grows up he still remembers his childhood scars. Ralph cant imagine Dough was still hurt of his childhood acts. Doug decides to get revenge on Ralph but when he sees Ralph he doesnt literally kill him. The fact that Doug faced Ralph after all those of years of childhood scars was enough to show he was strong. On the other hand. Ralph recongizes Doug but is not completley sure it is him. When Doug just leaves without saying anything Ralph is only left hanging. Doug has changed because of his childhood scars.
3. How is a moral of a story different from a theme?
A theme is what the author wants the reader to understand about the story. Therefore, a theme can be anything. It can be a statement about anything and it can be ture or false. Themes can also be opinions or just simply facts. In the other hand, morals are completely different. Morals are true. Also, morals can not be about anything. Morals are life lessons, they must teach about a standard in life. Therefore, morals and themes are different.
4. Read John 3:16. Is this a theme statement for God's story? How does this relate to the truth you might in literature?
Yes, I think that this is a theme statement for God's story. God wants all of us to with Him, and therefore he had to make a sacrifice for all of us. God had to send Jesus to die for our sins. Because of this we are able to have a relationship with God. We can see this truth in literature many times. We cant always be perfect and get whatever we want. There must be a sacrifice to it, and this appears many times in literature. Even in Harry Potter, Harry's parents sacrificed themself to protect their son, we can still see this truth in modern literature.
