Controversial themes in stories are what contribute to making them some of the best pieces of literature. In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn‚ by Mark Twain‚ several themes like this are present.

evidence and thorough research‚ Wilson and Sears’ theory on how the pyramids were built is the most convincing of the three. They provide proof that the Egyptians built the pyramids themselves with a variety of materials‚ such as wood‚ and how their religious beliefs likely sped up the construction process. While other explanations‚ such as von Däniken’s‚ focus on his own opinions and conspiracy theories (like his claim that extraterrestrials built the pyramids)‚ Wilson and Sears are realistic and back

The Secret Lives of Sergeant Jack Wilson Journal #2 The character John Wilson is portrayed in the beginning as an honest man trying to make a better life for his family back home in Scotland. As the story unfolds we learn that jack’s intentions are not what were originally portrayed. My opinion of jack Wilson started out as "just a man trying to better his family in a new world" but shortly after was challenged.

play‚ The Crucible‚ hysteria is one of the main themes. It is considered one of the main themes because it comes up often and often becomes the atmosphere of the play and the motivation of many of the character’s actions.
