Luigi Pirandello, playwright: "A man will die, a writer, the instrument of creation: but what he has created will never die!"

1. Theme is really important because it is the backbone of your story. Without the theme you wouldn't' really have a story and it wouldn't go anywhere, it would in some sense not make any sense....For example In the movie the fox and the hound, the theme is friendships last a lifetime and this is portrayed in the movie by having these two characters, the fox and the hound be best friends at the beginning when they are little and then because of who they are they end up being enemies due to the way they were raised. But in the end they realize that friendships mean forever and that they will always be there for each other which is proved by the end of the movie.

2. I really don't know how these ancient literary pieces have been passed on from ages to ages, i mean i could understand how religious texts could travel from year to year but other types of litature for example like poems, and novels, and essays, i really don't understand how that works you know. Uhhh and ya i probably could not write anything that would be passed on for generations because i really can't write well and thats why i'm in this class really, because i want to learn how to write.

3. If there's anything i want to leave it would be kindness, peace and appricate the things you have. I've been around the world everywhere and i've seen the harshness in the world and it really needs to be changed. I really want to see people learn to help others and how fighting isn't everything. I mean being raised by a middle eastern family, you kind of hear about war a lot.... People really just need to get over themselves because no matter what there will always be someone in the world that has it worse than you and that's life. but if you really wanted to you could change that just by donating a little or even saying hi to someone could turn their day around because they know that even though they are having a horrible day they know at least one person makes an effort to care.

I totally agree with you saying that theme is the backbone of any work and I REALLY like your example of the fox and the hound, a movie you dont seem to remember well.
