Which scenario is an example of a theme for a story

Olenka [21]

Answer:

Good always triumphs over evil in the end

Explanation:

According to the Dictionary of Literary Terms and Literary Theory, “the theme of a work is not its subject but rather its central idea, which may be stated directly or indirectly. For example, the theme of Othello is jealousy.”

There could be one or more themes in a story. To understand the idea, one could ask, what is the story trying to talk about, or what is/are the underlying message/s or concept/s or idea/s that is/are being put forward or portrayed through various characters and instances?

In light of this, let us examine each statement carefully.

Dorothy is a dreamer who wants to see other places

This statement essentially talks about the character, Dorothy, and not the idea of the story.

Bilbo goes on a journey and becomes a hero

This statement talks about what happens with one of the characters of the text, or the story of the character, which is also not the theme, as it is hard to say what the central idea of the story could be.

The story takes place in a dark, dense forest

This is clearly the setting of the story, describing the location where the story unfolds.

Good always triumphs over evil in the end

This statement could be the central idea of a story, or its underlying message, and can be portrayed in numerous ways. Hence, this could be an example of a theme for a story.

Note: However, it is important to note that the moral of the story isn’t necessarily its theme. The theme could very be any other idea regardless of whether that is also the moral of the story.

“Modern readers will benefit from reading novels such as Rudyard Kipling’s Kim.” Write a short argument either for or against th

Aliun [14]

If you agree with the claim, you might include some of the following points in your answer:

One major purpose of reading literature and literary fiction is to expand one's horizons. A novel such as Kim encourages readers to construct a mental picture or an understanding of a different culture.
While many details may be challenging to understand, readers can always refine their reading of the novel with research about the setting. In the process, they are likely to come away with useful facts or insights.
The novel has a timeless appeal as a coming-of-age story and as a tale of adventure and intrigue.
The novel explores issues of identity in a setting where people of different races mix together. These issues are relevant in today's world.
Novels such as Kim allow readers an opportunity to examine alternative viewpoints on topics of social and historic importance (such as life in a colonized country and the relationship between the rulers and the natives) and compare their viewpoints and attitudes to those of a writer from a different period.

If you disagree with the claim, you might include some of the following points in your answer:

For readers who seek literature that offers insight into their life experience, a novel set in India at the turn of the century lacks relevance.
The enjoyment of reading a novel such as Kim may be significantly diminished because most readers cannot relate to a protagonist with a social identity very different from their own.
Contextual details and topical references in such a novel are likely to be lost on modern readers. They are unlikely to follow plot details that rely on the context. They may also miss important nuances in the writing because of the unfamiliar setting.
Kim is written from the viewpoint of an author who accepted colonization. To modern readers, the writing seems to lack sensitivity to the concerns of people living in a colonized country.

Paragraph 21:

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

A. B) Ms. Schwermer has had to deal with criticism from others.

B. A) She decides to stop doing television interviews after a negative experience.

Explanation:

Heidemarie Shwermer is known as the woman who did not use money for more than 16 years. She moved from place to place and long term friends and new acquaintances took her in. She also relied on others for clothes and sometimes for food.

She has however faced criticism for her lifestyle such as when she was being interviewed by an Italian television station. The host was so inquisitive and didn't believe her that she put her hand into Ms. Schwermer's briefcase to confirm that indeed she moved without money.

Ms. Schwermer in response, stopped doing television interviews for a while because she said that she could not handle direct criticism. She therefore stopped interviews because she had to deal with criticism from others.
