Gene Luen Yang’s latest book, Dragon Hoops is a semi-autobiographical book about Gene's time traveling and novelizing the story of the O’Dowd Dragons and their quest to win state championships. Gene is the author of the award-winning autobiography American Born Chinese, a school math teacher, and a comic book nerd. In this essay. I will tell you about this book’s theme of “everyone has a story worth telling.”
Throughout the novel, Indian Horse by Richard Wagamese, very memorable, powerful and important sections stand out. These sections help move the plot forward, establish or continue the prevailing theme or help the reader learn more about a certain character. One example is; after bearing witness to the Iron Sister, Saul laments the lack of charity, hostility and destructivity of St. Jerome’s, when he says, “When your innocence is stripped from you, when your people are denigrated, when the family you came from is denounced and your tribal ways and rituals are pronounced backward, primitive, savage, you come to see yourself as less than human. That is hell on earth, that sense of unworthiness. That’s what they inflicted on us” (81).
Among the Hidden Themes One theme in Among the Hidden is “survival”. This is a theme because when you're a third child you have to know how to survive. You have to hide, or you’ll get caught and killed. Luke hid for so long until one day, when he saw a face in the neighbor's window. This leads us to our second theme of the story.
Two stories “A Good Man is Hard to Find” and “Revelation” by Flannery O' Conner both share a similar theme. The theme most common throughout both stories is religion. The author uses racism and religion in most of her stories and characters all seem to have similar personality traits. A few comparisons between “Revelation” and “A Good Man is Hard to Find” is that both these stories start off quick and to the point. These two stories contain a strong sense of superiority of their characters.
The Poem “The Poet” by Tom Wayman is a poem that takes the reader through the physical characteristics of your average poet. The entirety of the “The Poet” consists of a list of 14 descriptors that could be used to describe the typical poet. Each of the descriptive phrases seems to be negative towards the unknown poet that he is talking about. Although the poem seems quite literal, a figurative message is portrayed though text, tone, structure and the literary devices used in the poem. To start off, the specific word usage that Wayman chose to use gives off the impression that poets have their drawbacks.
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is a traditional medieval romance story. The main character receives a quest, battles a villain, learns a virtue, and finishes the story with a happy ending. One twist in the plotline deviates from normal medieval romances. Sir Gawain admits to his failure.

in the book beautiful creatures the theme is: nothing can stop fate/destiny I say this because through out the story our two main characters go through several challenges facing there relationship but no matter the challenge they always managed. In the beginning we can get a sense of the theme when Ethan White(main character) talks about the dream he has every night about this girl and how he doesn't know who she is. He also does talk about how he loves her and to me that's a big sign of theme in this because the theme is: how nothing can stop fate and later in the story he actually meets Lena Duchannes (our other main) and its because of faith that this happens. later on in the book we meet Lena's uncle
The Motif “The Lady of Shalott” by Alfred Lord Tennyson's about the Lady of Shalott falls into Arthurian tradition and the Victorian obsession with such.
