F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote, “That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you’re not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong.”   One of the many reasons to read and write literature is to make sense of and describe what it is like to be human. Thus, many great works of literature share universal themes that many of us can understand and connect with. There can be positive themes like love and friendship, and there are also negative themes like war and betrayal. Below is an image of 15 examples out of the hundreds of themes literature might cover. Write an essay of 400-500 words in which you define ONE of the themes below, explain what makes this theme (example: love) especially interesting to audiences, and tell how you see it expressed in your own life or others’ lives.
