What common themes (ideas, problems, truths) can we find in literature from different places and times?
Student response in September: One theme I like is sometimes you have to take a closer look at things. Like in Maniac Magee everyone thought Magee was nuts until they met him. The same student’s response in June: There are many common themes in literature even though the stories are from different times and places. A theme that always seems to grasp my attention and is used throughout literature is overcoming obstacles. I saw this theme in the book Watership Down. and also in the myth Perseus. In both Watership Down. and in Perseus there was a treacherous journey to be made. For Perseus he had to get Medusa’s head. The rabbits had to find a new home. Another theme I saw this year in reading was good over evil. I saw this in Watership Down. when the Watership Down. rabbits conquer the Efrefen arny and Woundwart. Mo mattter where or when in time the same themes will always be intriguing. • What is a hero? Student response in September: A hero to me is someone who does a good thing no mat
