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!

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

The author uses third-person point of view to tell the overall story, but she uses second-person point of view for a moment to speak to the readers and tell them that they will learn about the Children's March through participants' stories. The people who were there get to tell their stories and express their viewpoints and opinions about the events.

Does anybody know these ?

Not sure about number three in regards to the literary movement; however, i can help you with the last two.

"the collars belonging to the cats" -- there are multiple collars, and multiple cats. the way to represent this is "the cats' collars." you add the apostrophe to the cats, because the multiple cats own the collars.

"the notebooks belonging to Janet" -- here, you have multiple notebooks, but only one janet. the way to show this is "Janet's notebooks." the possessive s is added to janet's name to show that the notebooks are hers. the possessive s or apostrophe would not apply to notebooks, because the notebooks don't own anything. only janet owns something.
