<span>One of the recurring themes in the Death of Ivan Ilyich is the two lives that people live in. One is the shallow way of life which consists of materialism and selfishness. The second is the real life which shows the truer meaning of life through deep human relationships, sense of belonging, and strength of character. The shallow life is said to be the one that overshadows the real life because most people only want what is on the surface. Another theme is the acceptance of death. This is seen when Ivan tries to accept death with great difficulty. The sooner he accepted his death, the happier he became and the more he saw the deeper things in life. </span>

The villanelle originated in the Renaissance and was a Spanish or Italian dance song. The French poets named their unstructured poems villanelles.

The theme of "The Luster of Lost Things" is seeking out one's inner truth in the urban, alienated world. The hero of the book is a young boy, Walter Lavender, whose speech disorder has rendered him incapable of communicating with other people, and has resulted in many limitations that he imposed upon himself. He sets off to accomplish a mission of finding a lost book from his mother's shop. This journey will set him free and teach him many hidden truths about himself and the world.
