My theme that I wrote down for question number five was "A small thing can turn out to be really important". I used this as a theme because there's many things that can be important but only a few things that can be EXTREMELY important. Such as in the book, what was really important was the orchard trees. Even though the old man grew the trees for the children, the Americans didn't like the fact that the children play on the trees after the house was sold.
I honestly don't remember much of any poems, novels, or stories with the similar themes. But one that I do remember is one novel that's called "How the Pops Stole Christmas" (I heard this a long time ago, and 'pops' means the popular people). It's about a girl named Jenny overreacting that her friend didn't invite her to the New Year's Eve party and she thinks that the popular kids have something to do with it. They both talk about how something small can be so important to a person's life. Like in this novel, Jenny disappointed and wondering why her friend won't invite her. And in the story that we were reading, the old man finds the orchard trees very important.
