Penny In The Dust Theme

In the short story of Penny in the dust written by Ernest Buckler there is this little boy named Pete, he has some trouble communicating with his father. Pete’s father is not the kind of father that every child would dream to have for their childhood. Pete’s father never even held him once during his childhood, one day Pete’s father gave him a very valuable penny and Peter decided to go play in the dust with the penny his father gave to him but after a while, he forgot where he dug it up. Pete was scared to tell his father that he lost it because he was afraid his father would not trust him anymore like he used to and would get mad.

This relates to my theme because Pete wasnt sure if he wanted to tell the truth to his father cuz he was scard his father would be mad, but after telling his father the truth he wasnt mad but if Pete would of lied to his dad there would of been a

In the end of this connection this connects to my theme becuase Fanny had the choice of telling the truth and she didnt she choice tu keep on lying and thats what got her in trouble this relates to my theme becuase everyone in the world has the choice of
