Enchantress From The Stars Theme Analysis

When people sacrifice they are giving up something they love to obey their own morals. In the novel Ethan Frome, the main character, Ethan Frome, has to sacrifice his passion in order to fulfill his duty to his wife.

In the novel, Memory Keeper’s daughter by Kim Edwards sacrifice is a huge component to the story. Caroline Gill had to change all her motives due to sacrifices. David Henry stated, “There’s a place, I would like you to take her there.”(Edwards 18). David had to send away his child to a foster care because she was not “normal.” Phoebe was born with an extra chromosome, which was not very known in this time period. Therefore, Mr. Henry did not want to keep the new born. Caroline Gill was a nurse at the clinic in Morgantown. David went to her and asked her to take his daughter to a foster home. This was unbelievable and awful especially to the mother, Norah.

Sacrifice does not always require death. It can be any type of loss, varying from loss of integrity, to freedom or pride. In DBC Pierre’s novel, Vernon God Little, and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s poem, “The Wreck of the Hesperus,” the theme of sacrifice is communicated through the protagonists’ actions. The theme of the two texts, are demonstrated specifically through the character’s sacrifice of life, integrity, and dignity.

The novel demonstrated sacrifice by elaborating how relationships between the characters changed throughout. Bodega was blinded by his childhood love, Vera, and he was willing to sacrifice his reputation by

Even though some sacrafices are not neccesary, they hardest ones are made for those who you love. Sacrifice plays a major role as one of the main themes in the Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan. Sacrifices were made for the mothers and daughters which were fueled by love and honor, such as when An-Mei sacrificed her own flesh and blood for her dying mother, Suyuan giving up her children so they could live a happy life, and An-Mei risking her life and sacrificing a sapphire ring from her mother. These were all made for the sake of somebody else's good and for love of somebody else.

In the book Enchantress from the Stars there are many themes. One of the themes was sacrifice for love. Many of the characters in the book sacrificed something for someone or something they loved.

In Sophocles’ Antigone, Antigone deliberately sacrifices her life for the gods. She fully believes in the gods’ control over the people of Thebes’ life and death. Antigone’s sacrifices help to demonstrate that the gods are more powerful than man. By disobeying Creon, Antigone proves her loyalty to the gods. For example, when Antigone buries her brother, her main motivation to the action is that the gods are superior to all of mankind, even Creon, and how following Greek religious beliefs is important.

An example of this is shown when the text says, “Then, in unison, the monsters moved forward… the grievers steadily charged toward them. Alby’s sacrifice had failed miserably” (Dashner 335). This proves that, despite contrary belief, sacrifice is not always a good thing. Before the Gladers left the Glade to escape, they were being attacked one person a night by grievers. This had led to the Gladers, including Alby, to believe a falsehood the creators pushed onto them. However, this was soon proven wrong when the grievers charged the Gladers and killed several of the boys. This shows how sacrifice can be wasted and even harm others. While Alby thought he was doing good for his peers, he actually left them less organized and weaker, an act of harmful sacrifice. Another example of illogical sacrifice in The Maze Runner is shown when Ava Paige says, “By all reckoning, I think we’d all agree that the Trials were a success” (Dashner 373). This shows how the maze in general was an illogical sacrifice. In this section, Ava reveals how the Trials were a plan that ‘succeeded’, and also reveals later on there was another separate group. This means that over fifty teens died for Ava’s cause; to try to save humanity from the flare. However, this was an illogical sacrifice as she ‘successfully’ killed over half of the kids in the

Finally, Alyss returns to the queendom and redeemed her throne as princess. This novel has many important themes throughout it.

Sacrifices are made in everyday life, some are considered modest and some substantial. In other words, something as simple as offering your seat to someone and then having to stand, or a mother giving her life for her child would be a sacrifice. Any way that an individual abdicates an entity that may be valuable to them for someone else’s sake would be a sufficient definition of the word sacrifice. As an illustration, in The Scarlet Letter Hester Prynne makes a sacrifice that would be contemplated as admirable. Particularly, she sacrifices her happiness in order to preserve a secret, to ensure her daughter’s high spirits, and to protect her own pride.

Renewal through Sacrifice In modern life persons of all beliefs make sacrifices. Sacrifice is seen as a major developing theme in The King Must Die. Throughout, The King Must die, Theseus is shown in many cases where a sacrifice has been taken place or where he must make one himself. What makes the sacrifice isn’t the action; it is the willingness to do so.

What do I sacrifice? Famine for food, expectation for convent to be privileged to put my arms round what I value-to press my lips to what I love-to repose on what I trust: Is that to make a sacrifice? If so, then certainly I delight in sacrifice.”’

Sacrifice is a hard concept to grasp within oneself because some people only think of themselves or just like how everything is already and would rather not change anything. Authors Shirley Jackson who wrote “The Lottery” and Ursula LeGuin who wrote “The Ones Who Walked Away from Omelas” both focused on the idea of sacrifice in their short stories. Both authors came to a sense where change is inevitable but whether you take change and make the best of it or lie in the shadows determines what your outcome will be. There are some differences and similarities between these short stories including immorality, tradition, the sense of right and wrong, and anti-utopian.

Sacrifice is giving up something you like, in order to help someone else, without expecting anything in return. Some things that you can sacrifice are: belongings, comfort, or even just time. These can be used to help the needy, or just give comfort to someone who needs it. A sacrifice is a way to show that you care about someone or something, and that you want to help them. It could be something small, like going to see a friend who needs your help instead of going to an activity you really want to do, or something big, like giving your life to serve in the military.
