I would say the theme is that when a child grows up, what his/her circumstances are determines to a large degree how they will fare in life. In this case the girl was abandoned by her father and her mother couldn't look after her because she had to work so her daughter had to be brought up by relatives. Also, she is described as dark so perhaps dark skinned which would make her a target for racism if say in Canada or the US. Dr Gabor Mate, a medical doctor in the downtown eastside of Vancouver, BC Canada says that, for example, drug addicts have most often had a terrible upbringing so they have sought relief from the emotional and physical pain with narcotics. For example, one baby was kept in the dryer with a weight on the lid while his mom went to bars to pick up men.

Explanation: These are some good transition words to put with your sentences. If your writing about a topic with 3 points, you can start the paragraph off with "first, second", ect. If your wanting to transition into something different, then use some words such as "but, however, in contrary", ect. It all depends on what your writing about and what type of essay your writing so make sure you use them appropriately.

Delightful display
Snowdrops bow their pure white heads
To the sun's glory.

Fresh green buds appear
Indicating spring will soon
Energize us all.

Lambs gambol in fields
Frisky with the joys of life
Bleating happily.

Bluebells stand so proud
Beneath trees so sparsely dressed
Fresh green leaves unfold.

Much awaited sound
Echoes heard amid dense trees
Cuckoo has arrived.

With sounds and vibrant colours
Perfect harmony.

Beaches become full
Of families having fun
In sand and big waves.

Ripe golden harvest
Burning sun in azure skies
Labours rewarded.

Swallows congregate
On telephone wires ready
To migrate down south.

Red and gold leaves fall,
Crunchy as cornflakes beneath
Feet on a crisp morn.

In the early morning sun
Brightly bejeweled.

Dust gardens like icing on
A chocolate cake.
