In the passage “Boy’s Life” the main theme is, new situations can cause discomfort. What it means by this is when the teacher, Mrs. Neville, confronts the main character, Cory Mackenson, about a writing contest. Cory hadn’t thought about entering the contest because all of his writings, he believed, were just for himself. He also felt like having his teacher talk to him like a regular person was a disconcerting feeling. In the next passage “Emancipation: A Life Fable,” the main theme is, taking a chance can be rewarding. When the cage of the animal was left open, the animal had a burning curiosity to see the outside world.
