This theme becomes evident near the end of the book, but first there needs to be some background. In the beginning of the book, a member of the flock named Dylan died in a volcanic eruption, and the only thing that the flock found was a smoking shoe. As talked of previously, there is a horseman hunting down the flock at this point in time. The Horseman is Dylan, a genetically altered Dylan, who is stronger, faster, and with more endurance. Through the book, he has killed all of the flock except for Max and Angel. Max wakes up next to Harry, and senses something wrong. She sees a kid with wings and recognizes him. He comes up to her and gives her an extended hug. She loves the contact of her old flock member: “When he folded me into a hug, I loved the way he squeezed me a little too tight, held on a little too long.” (261) As shown here, she is reunited with one of the people that she loves, and she is clearly happy. Then, she sees Angel, and Angel runs into her, knocking her over, “I was so relieved to be holding her like this, so grateful to have my littlest girl back with me that I didn’t want to speak.”(263) She also feels a great deal of relief and happiness at seeing Angel, as exemplified by the word grateful. Dylan had faked all of the deaths of the flock, because the …show more content…
Throughout the book, Patterson makes the flock grow closer together, tears them apart, and brings them back together in time for the final battle for the survival of the planet. This progression not only represents the plot of the book, it also serves as the progression of family throughout the book. Despite the fact that author does all of these things, the author also allows each of the characters to have or induct someone new into their own family, and to build or rebuild relationships with them. These relationships not only fit into the plotline leading up to the final battle, it also adds to the theme that your family might not always be immediate, or lab bred, or knowing one another enough so that everyone cares about each other, but also that sometime we may find a friend, and go through some experiences with them that lead to an incredible amount of trust between one another. The fact that they rejoin at the end of the book brings the theme full circle, and the fact that fate brought it about in the book shows that sometimes rejoining

When you think of family you might think of adults and their children, or kids who lost their parents but are still related to each other. The Outsiders by S.E Hinton tells otherwise. It shows that even if you are not related, you can still be family; you can still have love and affection for each other. In the book, there is a contradiction between the gang’s biological family and their “family”. There is connection shown between the greasers from the Socs in the blue Mustang to Johnny dying in the hospital not wanting to see his mother.

“Requiem For A Dream” tells the story of hope slowly and surely decaying in the lives of four distinct individuals, dealing with socialization, alienation, mores and even social class to create the scenarios each person faces. From wanting just happiness, down to desiring a better life, these were all corrupted towards the end. Although it is a film exemplifying poverty and everyday lives of the working poor with goals in life, much more sociological issues arise in the film relating to each and every character: Sara, Harry, Marion, and Tyrone.

Family, for most people, is defined as a sort of safe haven for people to go to. For others, families may be fragmented, split, or may have wrong ideals as a whole. Broken families, while they may have a long lasting effect on the spouses, can also have a detrimental, long-lasting effect on the children of these marriages which can lead to certain mental illnesses. For example, in the story of the Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, Deborah faces the emotional effects of her mother’s death.
