What is the theme of this passage? How do the plot, characterization, and setting convey this theme? Passage Susan, Theodore, an

d their grown son, Abraham, suddenly stopped talking. The three of them sat around the small, wobbly table looking sadly into their hands. There was nothing they could do to keep the bank from taking their land. Their crops had dried up and blown away, whirling their life's savings into the dry, hot sky. Susan stood, put her cracked fingers over her mouth, and walked around the bare kitchen. She wasn't done fighting yet — she just needed something to inspire her. Something to give her hope. A golden glint shining from across the yard in the barn caught her eye. She squinted, forcing the glare into a diamond-shaped fuzziness between her eyelids. There was something there. "Theodore, Abraham, I've figured it out. I know how we'll save the farm. Put your hats on and meet me in the barn," Susan ordered as she slipped her feet into her boots.

Answer:

The theme of this passage is the ability to find solutions in the midst of adverse situations.

Explanation:

This passage shows three characters, probably a family, who had negative results from their work as farmers and are about to lose their farm, when in the midst of despair, one of the characters finds something that can help them.

The plot makes it very clear that the characters are hardworking people, this can be seen by their sadness at losing the farm and by the characterization that shows that they have suffered hands and impacted by hard and heavy work.

Faced with the narration, we can see that the characters are without hope and without the strength to fight, which means that one of them searches the horizon for anything that can help them.

WRITING
Veronika [31]

It took me eighteen years to realize what an extraordinary influence my mother has been on my life. She's the kind of person who has thoughtful discussions about which artist she would most want to have her portrait painted by (Sargent), the kind of mother who always has time for her four children, and the kind of community leader who has a seat on the board of every major project to assist Washington's impoverished citizens. Growing up with such a strong role model, I developed many of her enthusiasms. I not only came to love the excitement of learning simply for the sake of knowing something new, but I also came to understand the idea of giving back to the community in exchange for a new sense of life, love, and spirit.

My mother's enthusiasm for learning is most apparent in travel. I was nine years old when my family visited Greece. Every night for three weeks before the trip, my older brother Peter and I sat with my mother on her bed reading Greek myths and taking notes on the Greek Gods. Despite the fact that we were traveling with fourteen-month-old twins, we managed to be at each ruin when the site opened at sunrise. I vividly remember standing in an empty ampitheatre pretending to be an ancient tragedian, picking out my favorite sculpture in the Acropolis museum, and inserting our family into modified tales of the battle at Troy. Eight years and half a dozen passport stamps later I have come to value what I have learned on these journeys about global history, politics and culture, as well as my family and myself.
