Mr Terupt Analysis

451 Words2 Pages

The theme of Because of Mr.Terupt can be many things but I personally think that it is acceptance . Acceptance because in the book the students learned to accept the fact that Mr. Terupt is hurt. For example, In page 135 peter said,”I didn’t know that Mr.T was going to be right there.” In that line peter is accepting that he threw the snowball and accidently hit Mr.Terupt. According to the text on page 133 Jessica said ,”It was the sudden onslaught that made him throw that snowball.We didn’t know.And I started it. The things Jessica said stood out to me because Jessica is understanding the fact that it was so sudden that Mr.T got hurt and she thinks that it is her fault that Mr.Terupt got hurt just because she started the snowball fight and she is accepting that.

Here’s what Alexia said,”I was like,I have a new guy for a teacher that’s so cool.” You can see that the author made the character’s mood/tone very clear to the reader. Know do you have the answer to who’s point of view the book Because of Mr.Terupt is
