Ideas about theme for The Last Plague...
Sadly, the white board was erased last night before I had a chance to copy down all of your fabulous ideas about the primary theme of Mwangi's The Last Plague! Here are a few examples that I am drawing from memory...
1. Change is inevitable and sometimes traditional beliefs and customs must give way to new practices, particularly in the face of a major crisis such as the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
2. Emotional and physical healing can only take place in a community if everyone works together to determine the root causes of a crisis/tragedy, and then responds in ways that result in positive change.

Theme statements for F.D.
Based on our investigation of the 4 checkpoints to find theme, here are two working theme statements for Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave:
1) Slavery, in its many complex forms and guises, produces an insatiable desire for freedom and liberation within the individual human spirit.
2) Slavery, in whatever form it takes, murders autonomy and creates a deep yearning for liberation and freedom.
