The last possible theme that I think is good for this book is to never have fear and if you do have fear, you won’t survive. One event that supports this theme is when Uri tells the other orphan boys that if you have fear you won’t survive on the streets. This is true because if the boys had fear to steal the food from stores and people they would mess-up a lot or not even do it. If that happened, they would either get caught and killed, or just end up…
“Anyone can be heroic from time to time, but a gentleman is something you have to be all the time” -Luigi Pirandello, this quote is relatable to Atticus in How to kill a mockingbird. Atticus was the most intriguing character because he is able to see from different perspectives, he is wise, and treats everyone equally.…
When we hear or see the name Robin Hood, we think of the heroic outlaw in the English folklore who, according to legend, was a highly skilled archer and swordsman. Traditionally depicted as being dressed in Lincoln green, he is often portrayed as “robbing from the rich and giving the poor” alongside his band of Merry Men. Robin Hood became a popular folk figure in the late-medieval period, and continues to be widely represented in literature, films and television. The nonprofit organization located in New York, the Robin Hood Foundation has a legal philosophy of “taking from the rich and giving to the poor”. The mission of this organization states that the Robin Hood Foundation is New York’s the largest poverty-fighting organization, and…

The legend of Robin Hood has been around for nearly one thousand years. For the past several hundred years, Robin and his Merry Men have been known for stealing from the rich, particularly tax collectors, and giving to the poor; however, because this is still stealing and Robin had also killed at least one of the king’s deer, Robin and his men were known as outlaws. While they may have been outlaws, Robin Hood and his Merry Men were more like knights in the way that they dealt honorably with opponents in battle, defended the weak and helpless, and protected women and children.…

There are many areas within the novel which give evidence to support the view that the main theme is about "the darkness of mans heart.". The first part of the novel is a very important part as it sets the scene of how these boys have such beautiful surrounding's and how they are keen to think of ways to be rescued and just the pleasures of day to day life they enjoy. During the opening stages you can sense that the boys still have a strong memory of law and order and how to conduct themselves. One thing that shows this is when Roger an almost non existent character with little dialogue throws stones at a small child, not to hit him as he is circled with 'the taboo of old life'…

“Robin Hood and Little John walking through the forest, laughing back and forth at the what the other'ne has to say... Oo-De-Lally, Oo-de-lally Golly, what a day.” When many Americans hear the name “Robin Hood,” these lyrics from the Disney animated movie come to mind. Howard Pyle, who wrote The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood, which was published in 1883, did not write those words, but he did write an entertaining, adventurous book for not only children, but also for teens and adults. Robin Hood is a hero to the poor, but an annoyance to the rich. The book begins with Robin Hood and his gang, called the Merry Men, in Sherwood Forrest, where they live. Robin is an outlaw and an enemy of the Sheriff of Nottingham because he has killed the king's…
A very unusual trait of this book is that, unlike most books, it honestly has no theme. In fact, it is often stated within the book that there is no theme. In the introductory chapter Stephen Levitt explained that when he and Stephen Dubner were asked by their colleagues what the book’s theme is they would just reply that they didn’t know and when the colleagues tried to connect a theme to the book they would just smile and say “you’re right, that’s the theme”. The authors’ main concern was…
The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood was written by Howard Pyle. In chapters five to eight we see how the sheriff is trying to catch Robin, and we see how smart and clever Robin’s comebacks are. We see that no matter how hard the sheriff tries to catch him, he is no match for Robin. We see how Robin makes friends with a butcher, tricks the sheriff into paying for a huge meal with the merry men and him, and Little John gets fat and homesick and wants to go back to Robin and the merry men.…

The themes presented in this novel were man versus man, man versus society, man versus nature, and man versus self. The theme of man versus man was shown through Kate and the government against the terrorists. Man versus society was the cause of the terrorist takeover because the "freedom fighters" saw a war going on that they wanted acknowledged by United States government. Man versus nature was shown in the elements of heat, darkness, and a swamp when the hijacker Miro was trying to escape. The central theme was man versus self; the self trials humans face in order to grow.…
