[2] In the previous chapter, Beetle chooses the name “Alyce.” In this chapter, the cat chooses the name “Purr.” What theme could the author be developing with these two events? by Mrs. Martin

The theme that the author could be developing is be yourself because in the text it states "bah,sais the miller.May as well call a rock Alyce.Or a sheep.Bah."

The author could be developing the theme that you can choose your own path to life. According to page, 31,it states, " 'This face,'she said, 'could belong to someone who can read. And hads curls. And could have a lover before nightfall. And this is me, Beetle.' " On page 32, it says, "So the newly called Alyce shifted the pack on her shoulders, and with her head back and bare feet solid on the ground, she headed back to the midwife's cottage and never noticed when it grew cool and dark, for the heat and light within her." This evidence supports my claim because it clearly shows that Beetle/Alyce can choose her own path

The theme the author could be developing with these two events are make your own personality or style.According to the text it say's"she calls you ,Alyce ,will. Thank you're a girl a fine lady down from the manor ". Another piece of evidence is in the text it say's "purr,the cat responded.And that was that".This shows how she believes in herself and has her own personal style and is confident in her own name.

I think the theme the author is trying to convey is when you grow as a person you become better. In the text it says, " You can love someone named Alyce". this shows how she longs to be loved and as she grew emotionally she now can.

The theme that the author could be developing is that you should be your self at all times.According to the text,"'That were brave, Beetle.Naw, i be not brave,she said.'I nearly pissed myself. I did it for eles you'd have drowned and gone to Hell, a drunken loudmouth bully like you and u would have send you there and I could not have that, now, could I?" This shows how you be yourself and then you would get the respect you need instead of showing out.For the cat you should treat other the way you would want to be treat.

The author develop the theme by showing us that whatever you want your name to be do it dont let no one tell you not to. According to the text, it states that the Miller said "

The theme that they author was developing is have respect for each other. According to the text," Alyce sounded clean and friendly and smart. You could love someone named Alyce. She looked back at the face in the water. 'Then this is me, Alyce.'" Also in the text,"Purr the cat responded. Clotweed? Shrovetide? Wimble? Purr the cat responded. Horsera- Purr,' the cat demanded. 'Purr' Beetle asked' Purr the cat responded" I choses this evidence because it shows how Beetle had enough respect for the cat to give the cat a name because she had a new name. Also I would say that all of the townspeople couldn't even call her Alyce. That was just wrong.

The author could be developing the theme of, someone like you should always be treated the same. In the text, Beetle names herself Alyce then feels like cat deserves a name too, and now, Purr, is like, now, Alyce.They're both poor, they were homeless and Alyce took him in. This shows that Alyce treated someone like her the same by giving them a name.

I think the theme the author is telling is that, you can change who you want to be and it don't matter what people think about who you want to be or what your name is. Respect what people choose. "According to the Article, The Cat wound himself around beetle's ankle and purred. Columbine? CuttleFish? "Purr, the cat responded "Clotweed? Shrovetide? Wimble? Purr the cat "Horsera- "Purr the cat demanded. Purr? Beetle asked. Purr, "the cat responded. And that was that. While Beetle and Purr waled in the sunshine, waiting for the midwife's temper to cool enough for them to beg bread and cheese and an onion or two, the villages brought in the last sheaves from the field and, hay harvest over, sat down to eat and drink and give thanks the rain had held off. Several of the village boys, with too much ale and two few wits. Alyce:Aka Beetle chosed her name by when an old man mistaken her by someone else. Then beetle thought about how Beetle isn't a name like people don't have names from nasty bugs. "She blinked and looked at him. "Who is Alyce?" Don't be funny, Alyce. These here marks are supposed to show my winnings on the horse race, and i need you to read them to be sure Cob the Groom is not cheating me. What do it say?" I'm not Alyce. Course you are. The man leaned over and peered closely into Beetle's face. Wait he shouted, spraying her with spit, "you're

The theme the author could be developing with these two events is that is have respect for each other and if you pet or friend have a bad name or does not have a name and you changed yours you should give your pet a name. According to the text it says " i have a name now,cat, you must also " this shows that she is being respectful and giving the cat a name.

The theme is that you decide who you want to beetle change her name to Alyce on page 34 & changed cat name to Purr on page 35

The theme that they author is trying to develop is just go with whatever they decide to change because it isnt you.In the text it says that man comes up to beetle and think she is alyce a reader,but she is not a reader nor Alyce.Even though with the things she got and complimentes that she got from the villiage boys.She thinks that a girl like her does not deserve to be called beetle but Alyce.When she goes to the cat and ask that cat what her new name should be but the cat kept saying purr for her name,but instead she names that cat purr.

the theme the author could develop with these two event in to a theme by getting confidents help become a better person and make you feel better according to the text" frowning,she thought a minute, and then her face shone as though a torch were fired inside her."alyce" she breathed." It also says"what day.she had been winked at ,complimented,given a gift,and now mistaken for mysterious alyce who could read." this shows that it gave her confident to make her on name and give her cat a name too it made her gain confidence when things kept making feel good.

The author is developing about these two events is that they both are to people who are people who had a hard life in never had the courage to change there name because they both got courage.In the text it state she had been winked at, complimented ,given a gift,and now mistaken for a mysterious alyce who could read. Did she then look like someone who could read

I think the theme the author is trying to tell the reader is that you can make a name for your self and prove other wrongs according to the text it says"Beetle was no name for a person,no name for someone who looked like she could read"purr the cat reponded.and that was it

The theme that the author could be developing is that you can be who you want to be According to the text is states"Alyce, she breathed. Alyce sounded clean and friendly and smart. You could love someone named Alyce. She looked back at the face in the water. This then is me, Alyce. It was right."

The cat chose the name Purr because you can be who you want to be.
