Theme : The Son from America is The American dream isn't for everyone. 2/3. The reason why i agree with the theme is because. Berl and Berlcha never waste a single dime of the money Samuel gave. They keep it in their house in a boot. Also Samuel went walking and come across an old man and ask how he makes a living, the old man replied " if gods gives health, one keeps living." For religious people they don't believe that wealth helps people other than god. ]]> 2019-09-20 19:59:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsdaly202/3c2c6qgss1ds/wish/387419131 The Theme aguirema0011 https://padlet.com/mrsdaly202/3c2c6qgss1ds/wish/387419171 1-The Theme of the story The Son of America  is that success does not mean money it means how happy you are with your life.
With money you can't buy happiness. A lot of people believe that success that mean how much money you make but its not you are successful when u feel that your life is complete and you have overcome those walls that life has.
   3 i belive that the them focus on happiness not money. i found out that when Sam talk to the parents about praying for wealth. ]]> 2019-09-20 19:59:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsdaly202/3c2c6qgss1ds/wish/387419171 The Son of America theme dominjac0022 https://padlet.com/mrsdaly202/3c2c6qgss1ds/wish/387419184 1. The response I chose was "Success and wealth is not always about money and riches" 
2. In the story Sam came back to the village 40 years later as a successful man, and had plans and gifts for the village, but Beryl told him that everything was fine in the village 
3. I agree with this theme because Beryl and Berlcha weren't rich like Sam. The parents meaning of wealth was healthiness and a good life. 
5. Its easier to find out the theme of the story by the resolution when the character is finding out what the lesson is ]]> 2019-09-20 19:59:15 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsdaly202/3c2c6qgss1ds/wish/387419184 The Son of America theme martibra0091 https://padlet.com/mrsdaly202/3c2c6qgss1ds/wish/387419226 1.the theme is that success and wealth is not always about money and riches.
2. i chose this theme because sam's parents didn't need the money to be happy and the save it to give it back to sam .next berl likes his simple life and didnt need the money to be happpy. finally berl told sam no one in the village need money.
3.i do agree with this theme because money doesn't  always bring happiness.
5. i think its easier if you look at both to have a better understanding of the theme ]]> 2019-09-20 19:59:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsdaly202/3c2c6qgss1ds/wish/387419226 barcealo0011 https://padlet.com/mrsdaly202/3c2c6qgss1ds/wish/387419295 1.The theme is "success and wealth is not always about money and riches" because 3.both Berl and berlcha claimed to be wealthy since they had faith and everything they needed. They were happy with their simple lifestyle and that was enough for them. 2."but Berl and his wife did not believe in newfangled gadgets." to me this ]]> 2019-09-20 19:59:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsdaly202/3c2c6qgss1ds/wish/387419295 Theme alvarbra0041 https://padlet.com/mrsdaly202/3c2c6qgss1ds/wish/387419298 1. The theme i picked was, Success and wealth is not always about money and riches.
2.  I picked this because towards the end of the story Samuel see's his mom praying and realizes that his parents already have what they need making them wealthy and successful in a different way.
3. I agree with this theme because in life being successful isn't always about money or materialistic things.
5. Its easier to find out the theme of the story by analyzing the character because you can see how they feel of see the way they react to things happening around them just like how Samuel realized his parents were already set.

2.) The theme is that money can not buy wealth or happiness, i think that's the theme because through out the story you can see the way Samuel thinks about what wealthy means to him before he thought being wealthy means to have riches and have money but to his parents being wealthy means to be healthy and good faith. 
3.) I agree with the theme because i believe that money can not buy a persons happiness. 
5.) It was easier to find the plot and the theme by analyzing the  story because you break up the story in parts that make you understand what the story talks about. ]]> 2019-09-20 19:59:34 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsdaly202/3c2c6qgss1ds/wish/387419327 salasjas0011 https://padlet.com/mrsdaly202/3c2c6qgss1ds/wish/387419355 The theme s]]> 2019-09-20 19:59:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsdaly202/3c2c6qgss1ds/wish/387419355 The song from America salasjas0011 https://padlet.com/mrsdaly202/3c2c6qgss1ds/wish/387419365 1. The theme is " 
 Success and wealth is not always about money and riches.
2." I chose this theme because sam's parents did not need any money.According to the text all the money that Berl received from Sam he did not waste on penny and kept it all inside of a boot.
I agree with this theme because i think it's appropriate and makes sense.
Berl was already wealthy and did not need sams money.

2.Sam came back to his village after 40 years as a nobleman and had plans on fixing the village and brought gifts of the village but his dad told him that the village was fine and didn't need it.

b.)

The parents didn’t use the money because they had everything they needed and were happy.]]> 2019-09-20 20:10:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsdaly202/3c2c6qgss1ds/wish/387423960 lopezzar0011 https://padlet.com/mrsdaly202/3c2c6qgss1ds/wish/396507739  1. the theme of the story is, success and wealth is not always about money and riches.
2.  I chose this theme for the story because, Berl and Berlcha received money from Samuel their son that lives in America. Samuel would send money to them thinking that they needed it. Berl and Berlcha did not use the money because they didn't need it. Their way of seeing wealth wasn't the money. They were happy and prosperous without the money. 
3. I agree with them because although some people think money buys you happiness,  others can still be prosperous and thrive by just doing what you love and being with the people your most happy with.
