What Is The Theme Of A Different Soil Of Dream

The story, “A Different Sort of Dream” is about a boy named Luis who has a dream about becoming an artist. His family sells the crops they grow at the market but there was no rain so they were running out of crops to sell. His brother wanted to be a bullfighter and his father loved that but his father didn’t like how Luis wanted to be an artist. In the end, Luis was alone, drawing at the market when a man wanted to buy some artwork that Luis drew. Suddenly, he sold several and brought home extra money for his family.

There might even be some money left over.” This supports the theme because his father told him that drawing won’t get him money and it is nothing but then, Luis ended up getting money for the drawings. This shows that his passion was wrongly judged. Also, he ended up doing what his dad said that he couldn’t
