Question

Using the information in your graphic organizer, write a paragraph in the space below explaining how theme develops in the story "The Nest." A. Write a topic sentence that mentions the theme, title, and author. B. Then follow your graphic organizer and write your ideas about how protagonist, antagonist, conflict, falling action and resolution, mood, and setting develop in the story. C. Be sure to include the theme of the story. D. End with a sentence that restates your idea about the theme. Here is an example using the Shanice and Clara story: “One Goal” by Davis Grandy has a theme of “Teamwork is more important than individual success.” The theme develops in the story as the protagonist, Shanice, faces off against the antagonist, Clara. It is a character vs. character conflict as they battle each other for the final spot on the soccer team. The school setting provides Clara with many chances to taunt Shanice, and as the mood of the story turns anxious for the reader, Shanice stays focused on preparing for the tryout. In the climax, Shanice has a chance to kick a goal and make the team, but she passes to Clara and lets her score instead. In the falling action, the coach rewards Shanice’s sense of teamwork by putting her on the team, and Clara gets in trouble for her bad behavior. In the resolution, they decide to be friends again. The author develops the theme perfectly by blending the literary devices to create a story where the protagonist learns an important lesson. The paragraph above clearly expresses the development of the story’s theme.

The Nest:

By: Bill Baldwin

Because the sunshine moved through a blue sky it became very clear to see the nest in the tree. As Jane climbed the tree anxious to see if there was any eggs in the nest Johnny Jane's little brother decided to shake the tree to distrub Jane's attempt to reach the nest as she climbed. The higher Jane climbed the more anger billed in Johnny because her actions to clumb showed more success to her intensions..

So johnny seeing that he couldn't distract Jane from her attempt his attitude changed and he decided not to distract his siater but to see what she would find in the nest when she climbed down.
