B. Elements
Directions: Identify the theme of each selection below. Limit the theme to one sentence.

SELECTION THEME
31. “First of all,” he said, “if you can learn a simple trick,
Scout, you’ll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. You
never really understand a person until you consider things from
his point of view… until you climb into his skin and walk around
it.”
-Harper Lee
32. “I began to see what people were capable of doing. Anyone
moved through those years without understanding that man
produces evil as a bee produces honey, must have been blind or
wrong in the head.”
-William Golding

33. A man, fueled by an urge for power and control due to his
own pride, builds a supercomputer. That supercomputer then
takes over the world, causing chaos and struggle galore.
-Unknown
34. A boy and a girl fall in love. The boy is forced to join the
army and fights to survive in a war-torn country as his
beloved waits at home. When he returns from war, the two
are united and married.
-Unknown
35. “From the very beginning - from the first moment, I may
almost say – of my acquaintance with you, your manners,
impressing me with the fullest belief of your arrogance, your
conceit, and your selfish disdain of the feelings of others, were
such as to form the groundwork of disapprobation on which
succeeding events have built so immovable a dislike; and I had
not known you a month before I felt that you were the last man
in the world whom I could ever be prevailed on to marry. ”
- Jane Austen
36. “I wish to Heaven I was married,” she said resentfully as she
attacked the yams with loathing. “I’m tired of everlastingly
being unnatural and never doing anything I want to do. I’m tired
of acting like I don’t eat more than a bird, and walking when I
want to run and saying I feel faint after a waltz, when I could
dance for two days and never get tired. I’m tired of saying, ‘How
wonderful you are!’ to fool men who haven’t got one-half the
sense I’ve got, and I’m tired of pretending I don’t anything, so
men can tell me things and feel important while they’re doing
it…I can’t eat another bite.”
-Margaret Mitchell
37. “They appear to take as little note of one another, as any two
people, enclosed within the same walls, could. But whether each
evermore watches and suspects the other, evermore mistrustful
of some great reservation; whether each is evermore prepared at
all points for the other, and never to be taken unawares; what
each would give to know how much the other knows- all this is
hidden, for the time, in their own hearts.”
-Charles Dickens
38. “ To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or too take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them?
To die: to sleep;
No more; and, by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, ‘tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there’s the rub.”
-William Shakespeare
 C.W.p.3
39. “You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I’ll rise.”
-Maya Angelou
40. “In the end the party would announce that two and
two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was
inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or
later: the logic of their position demanded it. Not
merely the validity of experience, but the very
existence of external reality was tacitly denied by their
philosophy”
-George Orwell

- John D. MacDonald
