Ferris Bueller Themes

In the book Devil in the White City Larson’s use of themes greatly impacted the flow and message of the book. Themes such as evil, existing anywhere and everywhere in the world with those committing these acts of evil usually hiding behind a facade of goodwill and well meaning intentions. Another theme that was a key concept in the book, was that of delusions and the consequences of them. As the book progressed, the characters that represent the themes delved deeper into the depths of what these themes really represented until their whole essence is what they represented. The themes that Lason used are independent to one another but in their extremes they morph into a similar if not just one an over arching theme. This is the same for

In Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five he talks about many different themes. He quotes, makes fun of, and uses many different themes.

Ferris’ first stop is the school where he “breaks” his girlfriend out by creating a bogus story of her dead grandmother. He calls the antagonist of the movie, Principal Ed Rooney, and explains his girlfriend’s dire situation. Rooney, however, can tell that he is being played and vows vengeance on Ferris. Not surprising. At this point, it is clear to see how teenagers and their adult counterparts are stereotyped as being young and immature compared to cynical and evil, consecutively. The social and power barriers implemented by the school system create a division in the relationships that the students are able to

The film Bartleby represents the themes and characters of the story in numerous ways. Two major themes of the story include choices and morality. In regard to making choices, Bartleby continuously stated the phrase “I would prefer not to”, which shows that he took advantage of his right to make decisions even if they did not please everyone else. This theme was translated in the film because this is a phrase that Bartleby also stated countless times. The theme of mortality was displayed in the short story when the narrator had a difficult time deciding how long he should help Bartleby. Also, he wanted to decide if it would be right of him to give up on their work relationship. However, he did act immorally by firing Bartleby and moving offices

The film begins by introducing each of the five characters. John Hughes gives us five common archetypes with each of his characters including: a jock, a popular princess, a geek, a criminal, and basket case.

They realized that they are no different from the university students – they can achieve success just as the university students

Richard Adams’ keen implementation of theme throughout Watership Down remains to be a key reason as to exactly why this book receives the literary praise that it does. Richard Adams was able to take themes that were prevalent in modern society at the time, and find a way to place them within his story about a band of rabbits and their adventures throughout the English countryside. In fact, it is this reason alone as to why the book first gained any sort of popularity or recognition, as American and British audiences alike began to immediately connect with the novel. Not only did the themes presented in Watership Down connect with its readers on a more personal level, but they are also well crafted and interesting studies on their own right.
