One of the main themes Cushman chooses to use in this novel is freedom, though some may argue that it is obedience. This thought is not true, considering the fact that Catherine was never once obedient to her father. Cushman illustrates this theme using Catherine's birds.
I'm gonna say D on this one. D because if I was reading a book about someone's life and they overused the word 'I', I would immediately become disinterested because it would feel as though the person is self-centered.
