Theme . . . ?
My own term of the word theme is like the big idea like what the book is all based on . For example the book Fences the theme could be in many ways . Like the theme can come in Family , Race , and Betrayl . In family Troy and Cory have a unhealthy relationship , In Race is prejudice beacause of the whole the black workers were picking up the trash and the white were driving the trucks . In Betrsyl , when Troy cheated on his wife and had a baby coming . My own term of theme can come in many ways .

Anna,
ReplyDeleteYou are on the right track in terms of your thoughts on theme; however, it may be helpful to broaden your thinking to statements rather than single words, for example instead of simply stating "family" consider "conflict between parents and their children."
Although it is unlikely that our most recent protagonist Okonkwo will be guilty of adultery, as the Ibo culture of which he is part promotes the practice of polygamy, what characteristics and experiences might he have in common with the character of Troy?
