The Sub-Deb: A Theme Written And Submitted In Literature Class By BarbaraPutnam Archibald, 1917.Definition Of A Theme:A theme is a piece of writing, either true or made up by the author, and consistingof Introduction, Body and Conclusion. It should contain Unity, Coherence,Emphasis, Perspecuity, Vivacity, and Presision. It may be ornamented withdialogue, discription and choice quotations.SUBJECT OF THEME:An interesting Incident of My Christmas Holadays.Introduction:"A tyrant's power in rigor is exprest."--DRYDEN.I HAVE decided to relate with Presision what occurred during my recentChristmas holaday. Although I was away from this school only four days,returning unexpectedly the day after Christmas, a number of Incidents occurredwhich I believe I should narate.It is only just and fair that the Upper House, at least, should know of the injusticeof my exile, and that it is all the result of Circumstances over which I had nocontroll.For I make this apeal, and with good reason. Is it any fault of mine that my sisterLeila is 20 months older than I am? Naturaly, no.Is it fair also, I ask, that in the best society, a girl is a Sub-Deb the year beforeshe comes out, and although mature in mind, and even maturer in many waysthan her older sister, the latter is treated as a young lady, enjoying manyprivileges, while the former is treated as a mere child, in spite, as I haveobserved, of only 20 months difference? I wish to place myself on record that it isNOT fair.
