Write at least 3 sentences that includes: 1)the theme 2)a specific example w/ a citation 3) How the evidence SHOWS the theme. en-us 2022-04-14 19:55:00 UTC 2022-04-19 19:09:27 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/ebranson/5a52y9c93nnjkt9b/wish/2147359946 I think the theme of Fuzzy Mud is to trust your gut. In the book it says "She wishes she could be as brave as marshall."(Sachar p.15). This shows that Tamaya was scared to go in the woods.]]> 2022-04-18 18:24:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ebranson/5a52y9c93nnjkt9b/wish/2147359946 https://padlet.com/ebranson/5a52y9c93nnjkt9b/wish/2147360120
I think one of the main themes in One for the Murphys is to be grateful for what you have. An example is "Back when I was little, I used to wonder why there weren't lines of people at those bins"(Lynda Hunt p. 36). As you can tell  when Carly was young she had to take clothes but now Mrs Murphy buys her clothes.  ]]> 2022-04-18 18:25:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ebranson/5a52y9c93nnjkt9b/wish/2147360120 https://padlet.com/ebranson/5a52y9c93nnjkt9b/wish/2147360269 A theme in the book Mr. Bixby's Last Day is care for others even if it is difficult. I think this because they Topher is willing to buy a bottle of wine for Ms. Bixby even though he knows that he could get into serious trouble (Anderson p.140). This shows that he will care for Ms. Bixby even though he knows it will be difficult.]]> 2022-04-18 18:25:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ebranson/5a52y9c93nnjkt9b/wish/2147360269 https://padlet.com/ebranson/5a52y9c93nnjkt9b/wish/2147362606 In this chapter treat others like you want to be treated is a good theme because they talk about how Chad Hilligans is bullying Marshall. When Chad disappears everyone confesses to the principle that Chad has been bullying Marshall for a year. (Sachar p 72-73).]]> 2022-04-18 18:26:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ebranson/5a52y9c93nnjkt9b/wish/2147362606 https://padlet.com/ebranson/5a52y9c93nnjkt9b/wish/2147363585 The theme that fits this book is Treat Others The Way You Want To Be Treated. A place in the book where this applies is when Chad beats up Marshall, but when Marshall fights back Chad is really mad(Sachar pg.32-33). This shows that when Marshall fought back Chad got mad that Marshall fought back at him.This proves that you should treat others the way you want to be treated.]]> 2022-04-18 18:27:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ebranson/5a52y9c93nnjkt9b/wish/2147363585 https://padlet.com/ebranson/5a52y9c93nnjkt9b/wish/2147363933 I think that the theme of this story is don't judge a book by its cover. An example of this is when the Josef and other Jewish people are touring the underneath of a ship and the nazis are yelling at them for being there, even though they have permission(Gratz p.97). This shows the theme because they are being judged just for being Jewish.]]> 2022-04-18 18:27:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ebranson/5a52y9c93nnjkt9b/wish/2147363933 https://padlet.com/ebranson/5a52y9c93nnjkt9b/wish/2147364286 One of the themes of Refugee is that hard work pays off. It shows it many times in the book but one example was when Isabel saved Senor Castillo from drowning. The book says " Isabel dove in after Senor Castillo." (Gratz p.120). This shows that how she worked hard to resist the waves and to pick up Senor Castillo and that it payed off when she saved his life.]]> 2022-04-18 18:27:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ebranson/5a52y9c93nnjkt9b/wish/2147364286 https://padlet.com/ebranson/5a52y9c93nnjkt9b/wish/2147364394 The theme in "Drums, Girls, + Dangertous Pie" is that you shouldn't focus on negative things. In the book, Steven says he's worried about jeffery since he fell. (Sonnenblick p. 24) After that, Steven spent the entire school day worrying about Jeffery. ]]> 2022-04-18 18:28:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ebranson/5a52y9c93nnjkt9b/wish/2147364394 https://padlet.com/ebranson/5a52y9c93nnjkt9b/wish/2147366002 The theme of my book is that there is always a good side. It shows this when it says," I joked around with my friends," (Sonnenblick p.g 51). This shows that he forgot about the bad things and looked at the good things.]]> 2022-04-18 18:29:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ebranson/5a52y9c93nnjkt9b/wish/2147366002 https://padlet.com/ebranson/5a52y9c93nnjkt9b/wish/2147366092 The theme I chose for Refugee was hard work pays off, this is why I chose that. First, it explains that she really wanted to save Senor Castillo, so she jumped off the boat to save him even though there were very big waves (Gratz p. 136-137). I think this applies to the theme because she had to do all of this work to stay above the water even while her foot was caught on a rock and she was held underwater. By doing all this work to save him, it proved that she was happy and it paid off to have him here and alive.]]> 2022-04-18 18:29:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ebranson/5a52y9c93nnjkt9b/wish/2147366092 https://padlet.com/ebranson/5a52y9c93nnjkt9b/wish/2147366271 A theme in one of Mahmoud's chapters is that hard work pays off. One way he showed this was when he walked up to a random guy in a car and asked him for help with finding a place to stay for the night (Gratz p. 126). This shows great bravery and desperation on Mahmoud's part, which could have been the reason why the driver was so nice.]]> 2022-04-18 18:29:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ebranson/5a52y9c93nnjkt9b/wish/2147366271 https://padlet.com/ebranson/5a52y9c93nnjkt9b/wish/2147366514 On theme in the book, One For the Murphys is negative interactions can lead to positive impacts. An example of this is when Mrs. Murphy & her family adopt Carley from an abusive & toxic household (p.g. 3 Hunt). Another time this is shown is when Mrs. Murphy takes Carley shopping. Carley had stolen all of the clothes she ever owned so this was very exciting and fun for her (p.g. 36 Hunt). Therefore, negative interactions can lead to positive impacts and One For the Murphys by Lynda Mullaly Hunt helps prove that.]]> 2022-04-18 18:29:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ebranson/5a52y9c93nnjkt9b/wish/2147366514 https://padlet.com/ebranson/5a52y9c93nnjkt9b/wish/2147368384 In Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie, Steven thought Jeffery was annoying but Jeffery is now his best friend. Steven always wanted to do things alone but now he does things he likes WITH Jeffery (Sonnenblick p. 74). Jeffery getting cancer has brought them closer together (Sonnenblick p. 72-73). ]]> 2022-04-18 18:30:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ebranson/5a52y9c93nnjkt9b/wish/2147368384 https://padlet.com/ebranson/5a52y9c93nnjkt9b/wish/2147373414 The theme in my book is that you should care for others even though it can be difficult. An example of this is when Topher, Brand, and Steve had to bribe the owner of the cake store to give them the full cake. (Anderson p. 97). This was difficult because they did not have enough money for the cake but they knew that it would not be enough just to get a few slices. This shows that they cared for Ms. Bixby and that they would do anything they could to thank her for what she did for them. ]]> 2022-04-18 18:34:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ebranson/5a52y9c93nnjkt9b/wish/2147373414 https://padlet.com/ebranson/5a52y9c93nnjkt9b/wish/2147373440 the theme of my book is that the grass is greener on the other side. "guess what, mom? i'm going to be the star of my spring consert" (sonnenblick pg. 45) this is the moment when steven realizes that he has gotten the lead role in a spring consert. even in jeffys early stages of cancer he is happy and he is looking at the bright side.

I think this because the Jews in Germany were second class citizens and treated badly for no good reason. Many of them were killed in concentration camps just because of their religion. "Once, I saw another man shot dead with a rifle," his father whispered." he was standing right next to me, and I could not make a sound, or I would be next." (Gratz p.g 132). This shows that Josef and the rest of the Jews were treated badly and that the Germans judged them for their religion.]]> 2022-04-18 18:35:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ebranson/5a52y9c93nnjkt9b/wish/2147374397 https://padlet.com/ebranson/5a52y9c93nnjkt9b/wish/2147386749 The theme of Ms.Bixby's Last Day is "Think about others before you". Brand, Steve, and Topher all cared for Ms.Bixby, so they got a cheesecake for her. They were all surprised because of how much money it was. Steve and Topher didn't have enough money because they didn't expect it to be so expensive, but Brand decided to use all of his money and buy the cake. " Brand produces a 20 dollar bill and lays it on the counter..." (Anderson pg.84). I think this connects to the theme because Brand spent a lot of his money to make Ms.Bixby happy. Therefore they put Ms. Bixby in front of themselves just to make her happy. ]]> 2022-04-18 18:45:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ebranson/5a52y9c93nnjkt9b/wish/2147386749 https://padlet.com/ebranson/5a52y9c93nnjkt9b/wish/2148976493 A big theme in the book Fuzzy Mud by Louis Sachar, is to trust your gut instinct. Tamaya has learned from her mistakes that she should always trust your gut instinct. When Marshall said that they should go through the woods, Tamaya did not think that was a good idea, but she just went and ignored her gut. (Sachar p.22-23). If she would have listened to her gut then she wouldn't have made those bad choices, and she wouldn't have a big rash on her arm.]]> 2022-04-19 17:24:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ebranson/5a52y9c93nnjkt9b/wish/2148976493 https://padlet.com/ebranson/5a52y9c93nnjkt9b/wish/2149140107 The main theme in the book Fuzzy Mud by Louis Sachar is to treat others the way you want to be treated. I think this is because when Chad bullies Marshall and Tamaya they don't let it happen and fight back. An example is when Tamaya "She reached into the fuzzy mud and grabbed a handful of thick gooey muck. She ran at Chad, and as he turned toward her, she shoved it into his face" (pg 33 Sachar) This proves that they will treat Chad the same way Chad treats them.]]> 2022-04-19 19:09:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ebranson/5a52y9c93nnjkt9b/wish/2149140107
