An example from the story is when the brother brings Doodle to the barn and shows him what was his coffin and makes him touch it. He was nice though when he pulled Doodle around all the time even though he disliked it. This theme was important to the story because I think most readers can relate to a situation like this. An example from my life that is similar to this theme happened to me when I’d get mad and frustrated with my little cousin and yell at her. I’d also be nice sometimes though and get her a bowl of ice cream or something. This theme is also similar to a story I have read/ a movie I have seen/a television show I have seen/ a video game I have played because in Day of Defeat: Source I’ll be the captain of the team and I’ll be mean to the people that aren’t doing good but then I’ll help them out. The author probably used this theme in the story because even though you don’t know it you take part in this theme all the time.
