Question

What is the theme on Birds of the feather by linda lara puente?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The theme of the story Birds of a feather is surviving in the unknown environment, adapting, and making new connections.

Explanation:

The story is connecting the experiences of the author, her Mami (mother), and Helen, to those of parakeet birds. They both came to the unknown environment after a hard time and managed to survive and adapt, as well as make friends. The birds were in the company of each other, just like the author had her Mami and later Helen. Parakeets are, therefore, the metaphor for the author’s experience, as well as Helen’s. Making friends with Helen is the key point in the story, as it shows how important it is to make connections, friends, and how similar some people might be, even though we think of them as very different to us.
