I think the theme of Learning to Skate and Brown Onions is don't judge a book by its cover. In Brown Onions the main character doesn't want to try caramelized onions because by the way they look and smell. In Learning to Skate the main character doesn't want to try ice skating because she likes summer better than winter. In both of the articles they don't want to try something by they way they look, smell, or just because they tried it before.

The Theme of Brown onions is Erika is a girl that just hates onions and her father asked how you never even tried them and she said no but they look so gross and her father said here why don't you try these onions on a hamburger and if you say they are as bad as you think you can make me eat any gross thing you want me to eat.

I think the theme is trying new things. In Learning to Skate her Mom makes her to learn to ice skate. She wasn't as good as other but she tried at least. In Brown Onions she says that she hated onions. If any onions touch her tray or some food had onions she was done with it. One night she tolled her Dad how she hated onions. Her father said if you don't like them he would eat anything. When she took a bite out of the burger she ask if she could put some onions on her burger. So the theme is trying new things.

the theme of the articles is dont say you dont like something unless you tried it and you dont know if you will like it if you do not try new things you wont know if you like them

# data[].attributes.body
I think the theme of both articles is Don't say you don't like something you've never tried. In one article, the girl had never tried skating, but she had never even tried it. In the article "Brown Onions" the girl had never even tried carmelized onions, but when she tried them, she loved them! Once they both tried it, it wasn't so bad.

I think of theme of both stories is to try something new. I think that because in the article Learning to Skate Linda doesn't want to skate because she hasn't ever tried it before. In the story Brown Onions Erika thinks onions are disgusting even though she hasn't ever tried them before. Once they both try what they are afraid of they realize it's not so bad. That's why I think the theme of both stories is to try something new.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the theme of the stories are that it is ok to try new things and to see if you like something before you make a judgment about it. I think that because in brown onions the girl wound not try the onions and just by the smell and look of them she made a judgment that they would be gross, and in learning to skate she made a judgment that she wouldn't like it because she doesn't like Winter and she doesn't like the cold. Then after she saw that her dad couldn't skate either, it made her feel better about skating.

I think the theme of Brown Onions is to try new things. The theme of Learning To Skate is don't be afraid to try new things. They are similar because in Brown Onions the girl says she does not like onions. Then she actuality try's them and ends up liking theme. In Learning To Skate she says she doesn't like to skate, but when she try's it she has lots of fun. That how they are similar.

I think the theme of the story is don't dislike somthing if you have never tried it.

*in the story Erika dosen't like brown onions but her dad wants her to try them so she does

# data[].attributes.body
I think the theme of both brown onions and learning to skate is that you should try new things even when you are determined not to. I think that because in brown onions Erika thought that onions were disgusting even though she had never tried them. In the end though her dad and Erika make a deal that if Erika tried onions and still didn't like them that he would eat anything she wanted him to. Erika ending up loving onions and wanted more! I think that for learning to skate because Linda was determined she didn't want to go skating nor learn how. Linda and her dad ended up going and once Linda got going she thought it wasn't so bad. That's why I think that you should try new things is the theme.

I think the theme of the two articles is that you can't judge something that you haven't done before/tried and that people may think that if they try it it will be not something that they like.

* Erika doesn't like brown onions but her dad convinces her to try them and she figure out she does

*Linda has always been a summer girl and she wants to stay like that but when winter comes all she thinks of is summer and when she goes ice skating she doesn't like it at all but when she sees her dad trying to skate and she can tell that he's a summer guy to so she try's it out

I think the theme of both these story's is don't judge a book by its cover meaning in one she thinks skating is horrible but notices her and her dad can get better at it together and might like it if they work together to get better. In the other story she says she hates onions because they smell horrible and look disgusting. Once she makes a deal with her dad and tries onions on her hamburger she notices she likes onions and wants more.

I think the theme of the stories "Brown Onions" and "Learning to Skate" is don't judge a book by it's cover. In other words, Try new things. You don't know if you like something if you don't try it. In the story "Learning to Skate" she didn't want to go skating. She figured out she was scared. In the story "Brown Onions" Erica thought she hated onions because they smelt bad. Her dad and Erica made a deal that if Erica ate onions and hated them, she could chose anything bad tat her dad would have to eat. She was planning something gross until she tried it and liked it.

i think the theme is don't knock it tell you try it. skating she did not want to do it and onions she did not want to eat it. in skating she said no all the time at the end she wanted to do skating. the onions she did not want to eat the onions at the end she did and her dad did not have to eat gross stuff. on skating her dad is just as bad as she is and she said she need lessons on it she said.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the theme is you can't always judge something by what you visually see, you should try new things like when Erika didn't like the onions until she tried them and when Linda didn't want to go skating or even try it. When she decided to go she didn't like it until she saw her dad falling and also enjoying himself. Which means I really think that the theme is you can't just judge something by what you visually see

# data[].attributes.body
The girls both try something new like learning to Ice Skating, and Brown Onions. Erika tried Onions and she didn't like them before she tried them on a hamburger and she loved it and she asked for more. Linda tried Ice Skating and she didn't even like winter and after she seen her dad fall and that next winter they said,"There going to do Ice Skating lessons next winter.
