ABOUT THEME STATEMENTS: First of all, a theme is not the same as a subject. A subject of TKMB is racism, but in order to talk about it as a theme, we must write a sentence that explains the book's take on racism. For example: Racism is a disease that interferes with the ability of people to deliver justice.
Here are some more examples of theme statements (unrelated to our book):
- True beauty comes from within.
- When torn between two worlds, individuals must come to their own conclusions about their beliefs.
- Poverty transforms honest people into criminals.
- Being alienated from society causes a person to become alienated from himself.
- Excessive ambition can cause a person's downfall.
- Reckless decisions lead to violence and destruction.
- The desire to acquire too much knowledge can be destructive.
