1. In a moment of anger, watch what you say, because your words can hurt that person and it can stick to them forever and you may not even mean it.
2. Love who you want to and the way you want to love.
3. Things can change in a day, make the Small Things count, because it can lead to Big Things.

"When you hurt people, they begin to love you less" (Roy, 2017:112).

"If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be here! None of this would have happened! … You're the millstones round my neck" (Roy, 2017: 253).
-Ammu

The lesson here is to watch what you say, because your words can hurt others in ways you cannot even imagen.

"That really began in the days when the Love Laws were made. The laws that lay down who should be loved, and how. And how much. However, for practical purposes, in a hopelessly practical world..." (Roy, 2017:33-34).

People are made equally, the one is not to good for the other. Everyone has the right to love whom they want, how they want and how much they want.

"Perhaps things can change in a day. That a few dozen hours can affect the outcome of a whole lifetime" (Roy, 2017:33).

I absolutely agree with this quote, anything can happen in a few minutes, hours, days or months, thus we should live life to the fullest.

The day Velutha participated in the march was an event that made an impression on me, because Velutha is brave to stand up for himself in such a difficult time, most people are to afraid to do that, he may not even know it, but his one small act can make a difference for his country, to change for the better and to give his people a better future (to make Untouchables equal to Touchables, etc.). The readers are reminded to stand up for their beliefs and to start making change for the better.

"The marchers that day were party workers, students and the laborers themselves. Touchables and Untouchables. On their shoulders they carried a keg of ancient anger, lit with a recent fuse. There was an edge to this anger that was Naxalite, and new"(Roy, 2017:65).

"They laughed at ant-bites on each other's bottoms. At clumsy caterpillars sliding off the ends of leaves, at overtuned beetles that couldn't right themselves ... Each time they parted, they extracted only one small promise from each other. Tomorrow” (Roy, 2017:338-339).

The theme Small Things made an impression on me, because we as readers realise and is reminded that the Small Things in life can lead to Big Things, such as change for the better and love, but sadly also death. That is why we should treasure the Small Things in life, because the Small Things are the ones that count the most in the end. The way Roy focusses on Ammu and Valutha's Small Things is so beautiful, because that is all they have. Their love is forbidden, but they try to make the best out of their situation by focussing on their ant-bites, their secret meetings "tomorrow" and the History House with the spider inside. We are also reminded that Small Things, such as the testimony Baby Kochamma gave (which was all lies) can lead to tragedy, such as Velutha's death and Ammu's exile.
