Hi!

The themes of any story are always pretty interesting to explore, so, whats the theme of this book? Well there are a lot of them in my opinion. Some of them would be,

- Fear

- Gender

-Family

-Religion and Sin

-Fate

-Free Will

So, each of these themes are pretty different from each other, and you might wonder how an author could possibly fit all of those into one book? And honestly thats probably what makes it such a good book. I would say to combine all of these, the main theme would be Society or Reality. In any book the theme is shaped by the imager, metaphors and symbolism used. In the outsiders, ponyboy explains his hatred for those with green eyes, even while saying he has green eyes. Near the end of the book, he looks at Cherry, and realizes her eyes are green. This made him realize that the color of their eyes dont decide who they are. Green eyes are the theme of the book, but without the imagery, and symbolism laced with his hatred of green eyes, the theme of the book... wouldn't be the theme at all! It wouldn't have any components of it that really made someone feel its presence throughout the book.


In the book, Things Fall Apart, Okonkwo uses the ash of a fire as a symbol of the unmasculine side of men and <span>emasculation. He compares his own son to Ash, a jab at him and he calls the mail men ashy-buttocks, not only a reference to their shorts but to their masculinity. Okonkwo's obsession with masculinity is something that people in society today can relate to, and if you aren't something society considers it, then you are stripped of your masculinity and you are taunted and called names, in this case it would be Ash. The theme of society is prevalent among </span>these different symbols, and imagery. In short, it would be difficult to pinpoint the theme of a book without the other literary devices to help us. 

Hope I Helped!

Tuck Everlasting Summary plsss help
Digiron [165]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mae Tuck is getting ready to go meet her sons. But before she leaves, Mae and her husband Tuck have a conversation about wanting to change the things they can't. Sounds normal enough, right? Oh, but then the narrator hints that these two are immortal. Well, then.Winnie Foster (of the Foster family—remember them?) is talking to a toad when a strange man in a yellow suit appears and asks her questions. Winnie's grandma joins them and they all hear some strange music. (Don't worry, we're confused, too.)

The next day, Winnie runs away, and she meets Jesse Tuck, who's drinking from a spring. Dude won't let her have any of the water, though. Soon enough, Jesse's mother and brother, Mae and Miles, appear. The three Tucks grab Winnie and start running—but not before Yellow Suit Guy can see them. When they finally get a moment to stop, the Tucks tell Winnie their story, and Winnie promises to keep her mouth shut about the whole thing.

2. To better capture the personality of the individual, the artist chose to
serious [3.7K]

In my opinion correct answer is nbr. 1 "pets and items..."  The artist can easily interpret several aspects of the individual's personality by observing these items that transmit likes and costumes, personal interests and pets that can speak, sometimes "loudly" about the personality of someone. Especially the way a person interacts with pets is one of the most valuable keys to reach the bottom of the soul that in some cases a person tries to hide.
