The author Truman Capote’s tones in “In Cold Blood” are earnest and malicious. The thesis of the story is that the killers, Dick and Perry did not care about the Clutters. They did their job, and now they do not seem to be worried, Perry just a little bit AND Mr. Helm of course, but other than that Dick does not care about what they did. The imagery of the story is that it is confusing and harsh. Dick says, “Jesus, I’ve got the bastard kind.”

The deletion of dialect, slangs, and accents contribute to its purpose to communicate the story in a more poetic manner.

This section discusses the importance of theme in the writing process. Interestingly enough, the main message seems to be that one should not start writing with the purpose of getting one’s writing to embody a specific theme.

A selection of writing by Flannery O’Connor is included which carries the same message, that theme should be subtly present throughout a story. Then, the authors critique Upton Sinclair’s

What are the various themes that you can identify in the novel? Choose two and explain. A: Some of the themes I can identify in the story are True Loneliness, His Reluctance to Grow Up, His Disdain to Other People, and His sadness of Living a Boring “Phony” Life.

These themes are the main ones because they are exhibited through Connie, who had made naive decisions and was blinded by her own arrogance. This in turn placed her in a position she was unable to handle: figuring out how to deal with Arnold Friend, but ultimately failing and having been thrusted in a situation where she was unable to think clearly or fight

The theme of a book could be described as what the reader or audience has learned throughout reading the story. One way the theme is portrayed in this novel is when the soldiers would go home on leave for a little while. Another way the theme is portrayed throughout the novel is when you lost your friends and fellow soldiers in battle. “Theme is the underlying message or big idea that is portrayed throughout the story” (What is Theme in Literature). In reading this book you can learn that being a soldier during any war can be a hard road to go down.
Themes are the central focus of the story or narrative. Themes express the intended lesson, conclusion, message, or point of view of the author by connecting all the parts of the story such as characters, plot, problem, setting, and event. One dominant theme for “Harrison Burgeron” is the danger of total equality. Vonnegut suggests that it is not an ideal worth striving for, as many people believe, but a mistaken goal that has a dangerous outcome. To achieve this equality among all Americans, the government in Vonnegut’s story tortures its citizens.

For example, if the lion would have harmed the mouse when he jumped on him, than I am certain that the mouse wouldn’t have felt obligated to help the lions get out of the net. The last them is “even the littlest of friends could provide the greatest friendship”.
All the themes can be developed and how the authors develop into deeper meaning to the story. Gender, Innocence, The home, etc. are all developed differently and in their unique styles of the story. The theme that I'm picking because I feel strong enough to give the explanation is "Identity". Identity is a great example of the theme of the story because it shows who are the characters if the story. Even though identity is complex; it gives the author good development of Identity and how it can be executed.
To me the best theme in the story is friendship. I believe that every person needs to show friendship to
