Answer:

The theme of "The Girl Who Threw Butterflies" is self-confidence and self-trust.

Explanation:

"The Girl Who Threw Butterflies" is a novel written by Mick Cochrane. The novel is about a young girl named Molly Williams, an eighth-grader, who has lost her father in a car accident.

Molly doesn't want to be seen with sympathetic eyes by people, conveying the message "Oh! Poor girl, she has lost her father", rather she wanted to be known more than that. Molly with this desire in her heart joins the boys' baseball team. The theme of the novel is self-confidence and self-trust. This theme is evident when Molly tries to persuade her mother and everyone that she can play and compete with the boys in the baseball team. But her mother was unsure if she could play baseball with boys. Another evidence is when Molly tries to get into the boys' baseball team and her trial was taken, every boy thought that Molly won't be able to make it up to the team and that she can only play <em>girls softball. </em>But in Chapter 13 we can see that how Molly was able to make herself a place in the team and was selected.

<em>"She took a deep breath and then looked. There it was, at the very bottom of the list, the very last name: Molly Williams."</em>

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

The answer would be like this, using MLA format for in-text citations:

In order for you to know a person, you must first know his past, and especially the people, and circumstances, that shaped him/her into what he/she has become: "everything we are and all that we do can be traced back, in one way or another, to early influences..." (Monroe 35). Parents, relatives, very close and special people, and also circumstances, are the most important background information for someone to say they know anyone. In this man´s particular case, it is four main figures who become the framework, of who he is: "In my case, four figures from my childhood helped to make me who I am... my father, my mother, my grandmother, and my grandfather." (Monroe 35), because of the roles that they played in his life, and the way they impacted him: "... each giving me a gift that is unique..." (Monroe 35). And it is only through knowing about them, and how they played that role in his life that anyone can understand who he is (Monroe 35).
