EXAMPLE ANSWER: PRE-WRITING NOTES STORY TITLE AND AUTHOR: DAY OF THE BUTTERFLY BY ALICE MUNRO SUMMARY: IN THIS STORY, THE NARRATOR HELEN EXPLAINS HOW A CLASSMATE NAMED MYRA IS ISOLATED AND APART FROM HER CLASSMATES. THE TEACHER DIRECTS THE STUDENTS TO ACT NICER TO MYRA. ONE DAY, HELEN INADVERTENTLY ENDS UP WALKING TO SCHOOL WITH MYRA AND BREAKS THE BARRIER TO BEFRIEND HER JUST BARELY BECAUSE SHE DOESN T WANT TO SEEM TOO FRIENDLY WITH MYRA IN FRONT OF HER OTHER CLASSMATES. THEME: IT TAKES AN ACT OF COURAGE TO STAND UP AND BE DIFFERENT FROM THE CROWD. HOW EVENTS AND/OR IDEAS IN THE STORY AND/OR POEM SUPPORT THE THEME: THE EVENTS SUPPORT THIS THEME BECAUSE NOBODY IN THE CLASS WANTS TO BE FRIENDLY TO MYRA. WHEN HELEN OFFERS HER SOME CRACKERJACKS AND THE PRIZE, SHE DEMONSTRATES COURAGE TO BE DIFFERENT FROM THE CROWD. THE BUTTERFLY MAY SYMBOLIZE THIS BECAUSE THE LIFE OF THE BUTTERFLY IS FLEETING & DELICATE. THIS NEW FRIENDSHIP IS VERY DELICATE BECAUSE OF HELEN S UNCERTAIN FEELINGS ABOUT BREAKING THE BARRIER AND THE FRIENDSHIP MAY BE DELICATE BECAUSE OF MYRA S SERIOUS ILLNESS WHICH WILL KEEP HER HOSPITALIZED AND ISOLATED FROM SCHOOL.
