Everything that is write has a theme of some sort, no matter who wrote it or where it came from. A poem could have been scripted in Canada or an move in England yet still have t he same theme.A story could still have the same moral guideline of a poem but be written by different same time on antagonist sides of the world without the authors ever hearing about each others work while still being very similar. The purpose of this paper is take a look at writings from across the globe with multiple themes and to see how frequently these relate to each other. The theme Truth & Justice draw and quarter us look deep into ourselves to see what we truly believe in. Do we believe in a moral code that governs us all or are we subject to win over our morals Just like the wind changes direction?The piffling story, The Lottery by Shirley Jackson from the unite States of America, shows us an unjust system of the past that has stuck approximately years long-dated than it ever should have. We watch as people mention how it is wrong to stone someone yet do not take steps in stopping what is happening. Showing us how peer bosom can have such a huge impact on what we decide is verity and Justice. If everyone calls for a last we decide that is the new truth and the new Justice. In the poem, National Trust by T. Harrison from England, we are shown a new form of truth, one that seems to be forgotten.We need to realize truth and Justice are things in our past and future, not Just in the present. We cannot forget where we have come from otherwise we will not be able to get where we are release. Now in the same theme but a different concept we see William Wordsmith author of the poem The Tables Turned chance upon a status where it is better to be out in life then to stay in and read explain that to sit back and Just listen n itself is wrong. It is a corrupt use of your time to not do anything while the world around you is changing.In the poem Tell All the Truth by Emily Dickinson we are able to see another(prenominal) corrupt thought on truth. We can always spin the truth to benefit ourselves but does it stay the truth or has it now require some thing different? We can spin it to benefit others in kindness or tell it bluntly, which hurts people. In The Interview by Ruth Para we hear a new theme of Human Qualities and Ideals. Confidence is something that falls short in this generation and in this story. A man who cannot choose for himself to live on his own and succeed in life is viewed as a failure.But if we see these people as failures and remind them of that will they ever change? Unlike the Interview in the poem No Coward Soul Is Mine by Emily Bronze from England, projects self-confidence in how she lives her life. Even though she had a rough time becoming an adult, she still refused to give up. She shows us her struggle and explains how she found God in all of this who is now her confidence. She has so much confidence there is now no room in her for charge of death. Now in the essay Shooting an Elephant by George Orwell we see a shift in thought.We see that if you do not have the confidence you need to stand alone the n you make mistakes. Peer pressure cannot move mountains but it can move mountains of people. If you are not confident in who you are then your choices are influenced more by those around you then your own thought process. We make choices to fit in with culture, when we do this we normally lose satisfaction with ourselves. We experience the exact same situation in the essay Salvation by Longboats Hughes. When pressured by people to make a decision you can either stand firm in hat you know or choose to change what you know.Either way a decision is always made. When forced into a decision though you recover like you betrayed yourself Just like the child feels he betrayed everyone around him by saying yes to Jesus. The ability to stand out even when it is stumblebum to do so. We see that it can be worth going through the hardship of being different. When you are faced with a hard decision to make the right decision is not always, what everyone else is choosing. We are given a situati on in this poem where a boy needs to choose against what all of the adults are choosing.He needs to believe in himself and what he finds beauty in the make the decision that he does. In the poem The Enemy by Pablo Neared, we see the same theme but with a new view of life come from it. We now see the dangers of having an ultimate truth that we hold too without thoughts as to how it could be wrong. We are shown that when you put your identity element in a truth like this you will make enemies that believe in different options. The choice then become are you going to hold to your truth and keep an enemy or will you evaluate what you believe to be sure that you are in fact right about this topic.Just like an atheist and a Christian have a hard time connecting on a personal level so do others who have ultimate truths. Now in an essay written by F. Scott Fitzgerald called The Crack Up we are privileged to witness once again a new version of the same theme. We see that identity is also s haped by our accomplishments and our failures. A seriously depressing essay but yet one of truth without fear of being who you are. This at last shows us we are to be confident in who we are and even though we dont always enjoy it we are still going to be okay in the end.
