what the theme means to me: because Katie is always trying to play with the new kittens. and always gets in trouble by the owner and finds all these ways to play with them and never can until when the kittens sleep on her when she is sad. this means to me that you can keep trying to do it over and over again until you make it. ~ ronald

Swim! Swim! by Lerch
ReplyDeletetheme:" Don't judge a book by it's cover "
this theme means to me: the fish was looking for a friend, and he could not find one.
A cat came to him and called him lunch. He put him in another fish bowl. He gave him a friend, another fish, in the other fish bowl. The cat was happy to see his fish friend fall in love and live happily ever after. You would never have guessed that the cat was the good guy.

Theme:Don't go inside strangers homes.
What the theme meant to me:To me the theme meant to not go inside random people's houses when they're gone and start to mess around with their stuff for no reason.The theme also meant to me that if you do go to somebody's house when they're there you don't know what they're going to do to you.

I think the theme of this story is, you don't always have to listen to other people just because they're doing it. It's my favorite because the book shows the theme in a weird and funny way.

Book: Secrets at Sea

The theme of this book is that you can always follow your heart even if it leads you away from your loved ones. And, you can have a strong relationship without living close together. This means I can always move to a different continent and I will still be close with my family!
