the playwrite blog

1. Theme is important in what you write because it shows what the play is about and how the writer came to it. It's the main point of the story. If you didnt have a plot then you wouldnt know what the story is about. The theme gives the reader or audience member the moral of the story. A great piece of literature does need to express an idea or else it will go nowhere and just confuse the audience. Theme tells the whole story in a sentence. You can't have a story without a theme or it won't be a story. The series, Gossip Girl, does have a theme and its the lifestyle of the rich and famous teens.

2. What causes a great book to live forever is if people want to read it. Then if people want to read it they will go tell other people and those people will want to read it and then it will get around and it will become legendary. Books with good themes become like that a lot. A book that becomes legendary is a book with a good theme and tells a good story that people will tell on to the next generation and tell their friends.

3. If I could make an impact on the world I would love to find a cure for Aids or the common cold or some sort of deathly cancer. This would change the world forever and they would remember me for being the on who found it. It would be long-lasting because for the rest of the generations would have no aids, no colds and no cancer. And if I did find a cure more scientists can go off of my data and find new cures for other risks around the world.

I really don't want to comment anymore, i'm sleepy. But I read your blog, and I agree with the whole theme thingy being important and all that fun stuff. Keep it up Jamie?

A cure for AIDS would definitely be lasting and "impactful" (i don't know if that's even a word...). If I could cure any disease it would definitely be AIDS. However I disagree on why books have lated so long. I don't think all of the books that have stuck around since the stone age have been very desirable to read. Example, The Odessey.

You're right, that would be a great thing to fix in this world. That is killing off so many innocent people, well they may not be all innocent but still. Like a shot we could get to be immune to getting those diseases would make this world that much better.

As a writer, how could you make an impact on those things?

I like the story of Harriet Beecher Stowe. President Lincoln gave her credit for starting the Civil War because of her depiction of slavery in UNCLE TOM'S CABIN.
