Theme of “The Welcome Table” The Welcome Table‚ by Alice Walker is a story filled with religious symbolism. All through the story‚ the lady is slightly fazed by the pretentious and conceited congregation that is time after time piercing her with ridiculing looks of disdain. It is only by force that the men feel duty-bound to get rid of her by force. As it stands in this story traditional society is absolutely wrong yet unapologetic. Religion is the theme of this story.

When reading the 12 tables laws of Rome‚ I am half chuckled but yet was appalled by some of the preposterous things they considered laws. If a man had a grievance with another and filed a court case against the other in the court then he had a certain amount of time to wait for the defendant if you will to show up.
