2 There are 8 Steps to Writing a Theme Statement There are 8 steps to follow when writing a theme statement!!!
3 Theme Statement Step 1: Write a theme statement. Theme Statement: This is a one sentence general statement about life or human nature which can be derived by interpreting a story’s overall message. It does not mention specifics from the story (i.e., specific names, settings, or events), but instead generalizes accurately and comprehensively about the story’s main meaning.
4 Rules for a Theme Statement – The theme is usually not stated directly in the story at all; it is the author’s underlying message. – A theme must always be a statement; it must always be something that can be expressed in at least one sentence. – The theme reveals a truth about human behavior. – A theme statement does not refer to a specific work; it is a general statement about life. – The second person pronoun “you”—or any of its forms: your, you’re—is never used in a theme statement. – A theme statement doesn’t jump off the page and talk directly to the reader; it does NOT sound like a moral. Subject+ Author’s Message = Theme
5 More about your Theme Statement: The theme statement is your own original statement about the main overall idea of the story. It should be worded as a generalization about life or human nature. It does not directly refer to specific characters or situations in the story.
6 More Sample “Theme Statements” In James Hurst’s short story “The Scarlet Ibis,” the author’s message is that a person’s pride in one’s own accomplishments may cause him or her to treat others cruelly. Hans Andersen’s short story “The Emperor’s New Clothes” exposes the pretensions and pomposity of those in power OR Hans Andersen’s short story “The Emperor’s New Clothes” demonstrates the ability of the innocent eye to expose them. Pls. note: This is not stated as a moral. It’s simply the message of the short story!
7 For example … Example of a Theme Statement: Jillan Wine’s short story “Jillian Giggs, A Teenage Perspective” portrays the positive effects that adversity has on the human spirit. * Pls. note: This is the theme statement that will be used for the class exemplar that we will present in this Power Point. Pls. note: Your theme statement must adopt a stance!!! Remember, a theme statement is the message of the short story!!!
No projects or trips the coming months
Traveling is my biggest passion and I mainly work with travel related companies and brands, so to me this whole situation is also very impactful and caused me to lose almost all projects and trips the coming months.
This saddens and troubles me of course, however I can’t tell you how happy I was to return healthy and well from my trip to Italy in February, just before the real outbreak started there! And to get back home safely from the Dominican Republic last week, feeling quite anxious on the airport in Madrid for our stopover, on the same day the infections there doubled!
Wearing a mask for the first time in my life
I wore a face mask for the first time ever, and can tell you that it felt quite scary and uncomfortable, as wearing it correctly comes with many restrictions. Once you put it on you cannot take it off anymore, can’t eat, drink or touch the outside, as this can contain the virus, is highly infectious, so needs to be disposed of carefully. I am however happy I did, as even though I’m healthy and think I would survive an infection, I would be terrified to infect any one else, even worse my loved ones!
Nobody could have expected how rapidly things would develop, only to see most countries in Europe go on lockdown just 1 week later! Even though the Netherlands is not on complete lockdown yet, currently all schools, bars, restaurants and gyms here had to be closed until the 6th of April, most airlines and travel agents are cancelling flights and trips, and travel is highly discouraged by the government as of yesterday.
This is the current overview of travel advice and safety risk per country, in which most of the world used to be green, and is now orange and red. Meaning the government does not advise going there, unless strictly necessary, and you will not be insured when traveling to those countries at the moment:
Corona pandemic restrictions in the Netherlands
Although we are still allowed to go outside in my homeland, I strongly feel I should stay in the coming weeks, maybe even months, until this situation is under control. We all have the responsibility to stop this disease from spreading to contain this pandemic!
To help you understand the importance of staying home, I want to share what I’ve learned about the virus so far by explaining what a pandemic even means. A disease outbreak that's infectious and widespread with over 115 countries detecting the virus and more than 10 confirming at least 500 cases, will get the label pandemic. Also defined by the World Health Organization as: "an outbreak of a new pathogen that spreads easily from person to person across the globe".
But although the outbreak has been labelled a pandemic it doesn't mean it can’t be contained.
Why you should stay in too
At first Corona was said to be a variation of the normal flu virus, but in reality it's much more serious, because of the following:
The transmission of this virus is much easier (some medical experts say that the virus can survive on surfaces for up to 3 days)
and most importantly it’s highly infectious; 1 person can infect up to 3 people, which again infect 3 people, and those all again 3, which can already mean more than 100 infections in 1 night out for example,
the virus can incubate up to 9 days, therefore most people might not even have symptoms, but can still transmit it.
Besides that it’s more like a pneumonia and very deadly for the elderly and people with diabetes, compromised immune systems or respiratory/lung problems etc. Therefore it’s very risky to go out and potentially expose them to the virus if you are not sure that you're not infected.
Because of all this containing the virus should be taken extremely serious, and it’s important NOT to give Corona “a ride” to its next destination!
That's why I believe that the only way to stop this virus from spreading is to NOT travel, but also to stay at home and inside as much as possible. Luckily while being able to cuddle my kitties even more now:)
Of course it breaks my heart to be restricted like this and it's easier said than done, as you have to be able to work from home for your job.
But as a freelancer, used to working at home, I’m happy to share some tips with you to stay productive, positive and keep you from going bananas, when you are able to stay at home these days and have more spare time now that you cannot go out with friends and family for a while.
Counting the days till I can dance in the streets of Italy again.
