The following are tips concerning the themes of this time of year and how they reflect in the stories we hear:

A theme is the main idea present in a literary work. It is the message, the lesson, or simply the subject of the story.

When we pay attention to Christmas/winter time stories, we notice they have some common themes, such as gratitude, solidarity, or love.

Most stories seem to be about reuniting with one's family, or helping others during a difficult time, or simply about realizing how one should be grateful for everything one has.

Even news reflect such themes during winter. It is common to hear or watch news about people giving away food, clothes, or even a shelter to those in need.

Read the passage. The Ornithopter Many people know Leonardo da Vinci today as an artist, and it is true that he was indeed a great painter and sculptor, but he was also an inventor and one of the first individuals in recorded history to draft detailed plans for a flying machine. In order to make a living, Leonardo often depended upon wealthy individuals who would commission work from him. That means they would hire him and pay him to create specific work they wanted. In 1482, when he was 30 years old, Leonardo heard of an opportunity to work for Ludovico Sforza, the Duke of Milan. The duke, however, did not want a painter; he wanted a military engineer to help him defend the city against its enemies. This was an excellent opportunity that would pay Leonardo well, but Leonardo was a peaceful man. He considered war to be "a beastly madness. " He preferred to make things of beauty. Leonardo made the decision that he could tolerate making weapons if the resources the duke could provide would also allow him to create things he loved. He sent a letter to the duke detailing his skills in designing and building weapons. "I will assemble catapults, mangonels, trebuchets and other instruments of wonderful efficiency…I will make an infinite number of items for attack and defense," he wrote. Leonardo’s letter convinced the duke of his talents, and he got the job. He set about designing the weapons that the duke desired. But Leonardo was infinitely creative, always thinking of new things, new ideasâ€"he could not be limited to weapons alone. One idea that he had not mentioned in his application was the ornithopter. It was not a weapon of war, and it was not something that the duke had asked for, but Leonardo went ahead and designed it anyway. Leonardo was fascinated by the idea of flight. The word "ornithopter" comes from two words meaning "bird" and "wings. " And on first inspection, his plans resembled a bird’s wings attached to a human being’s arms. He concluded that a human being’s arms were neither strong enough nor li.

Bearing in mind that those two tissue samples removed from Henrietta were not removed in an attempt to
treat her cancer, but rather purely for purposes of research, was it wrong for the doctor to remove the
sample tissue in the first place? Was it wrong for Dr. Gey to collect those samples for the purpose of
trying to grow them in controlled conditions? Does the end - i.e., the immeasurable benefit to humankind
resulting from those tissue samples - justify the means - i.e., removing tissue from a person without their
consent or knowledge?

In this unit, you read excerpts from naturalist and realist literary works. One such work is the novel Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton. As you read the story, write about the topics in the table. The information you add to the table will help you complete Task 2. As you enter information in the table, consider the following questions:

How do literary elements and rhetorical devices, such as foreshadowing, imagery, and symbolism affect your understanding of the story?
Where do you notice the theme of naturalism?
How does the author develop the characters in the story?
Use these strategies while reading the text. Then, use your notes to complete the table.

Guidelines
Use a highlighter
Read the story carefully and use a highlighter to call out important passages, phrases, or twists in the story.
Do not overuse the highlighter. It would defeat the purpose of emphasizing a part of the text if the majority of text is highlighted.
Add notes to the margin
In addition to highlighting the text, add comments or questions to the margin of the page.
Use a notebook
For answers that require a larger area to make notes, use a separate notebook instead of the margin.
You can also use the following link for reference:
