The theme of a story is the moral message or lesson of a story. There are many themes in Home Alone and Ransom of Red Chief but the one that stood out to me the most was that the looks of people can be extremely different from their actions. In the story Ransom of Red Chief the story states “The kid was a freckle-faced boy of ten with freckles that stood out. His hair was the color of the cover of the magazine you buy at the newsstand when you want to catch a train. Hey little boy! Says Bill Would
In the story The Ransom of The Red Chief and the movie Home Alone, I believe that the theme is that no matter how big or small someone is, you should never underestimate them. One example to support my theme is in the story. The author wrote, “I jumped up to see what the matter was. Red Chief was sitting on Bill’s chest, with one hand tangled in Bill’s hair. In the other he had the sharp knife we used for slicing bacon.”(O. Henry 65). This is a prime example that shows that Red Chief is not scared
Theme is the moral or lesson of the story. The theme that stands out in both Ransom of Red Chief and Home Alone is that looks can be deceiving.

In Home Alone, Kevin comes across as harmless and looks as though he can’t
Ebenezer was an easy target, but what really happened was, “I should have been taking fifteen hundred dollars from the boy underneath the tree. Instead, Bill was counting out two hundred and fifty dollars into Dorset’s hand. ” In the movie, Home Alone, Marv and Harry think it will be easy to rob the house even if Kevin’s there cause he’s a kid, but Kevin outsmarted them and set traps around the house to keep them at bay. This shows that the two criminals thought Kevin wouldn’t be a threat, but Kevin was
his home. Kevin outsmarts the criminals and sets traps that they fall into. In a scene in Home Alone the two criminals that are robbing Kevin’s house are surprised when he set traps for them. This shows how the theme related to the story by Harry and Marv thought Kevin was a harmless kid when in actuality he was really smart. Characters both in Ransom of Red Chief and Home Alone share some of the same traits. One character trait that is shared is in the two criminals in each story. In Ransom of Red
The mind through the pen of writers They say that the mind is the most power and valuable thing that humanity possesses: It can create places, scenarios, and being that have unlimited power. Though it may be fun to have all this power in our heads one must ask what happens if one’s mental stability starts to cave in on itself and effects might it have on somebody, what grand delusions Might come from the confines of a deranged mind; one might also ask what this might do to the appearance of the
On a farm near the state of Oklahoma, there lived a little duck named Dobbles. Dobbles was the most energetic, loud, and crazy duck on the farm. The pond near the farm was his favorite place to play.
