A theme should be present during every element of the story‚ there are many themes that are present most of the way such as friendship but

    Are You a Lark‚ an Owl‚ or a Hummingbird? . One in ten of us is an up-at-dawn‚ raring-to-go early bird‚ or lark. About two in ten are owls‚ who enjoy staying up long past midnight.

    Arendt equates loneliness directly with the idea of a totalitarian government. In order to effectively do this however‚ she first must differentiate between isolation and loneliness‚ and under what circumstances isolation turns into loneliness.
