Evidence and Analysis
Directions: A theme is a concept or idea that an author explores in a
literary work. For each theme, collect 5-6 details from Born a Crime
(such as specific plot points, symbols, or quotes) that the author uses to
explore that theme and enter them in the Evidence section of the table.
Next, use the evidence you’ve collected to write a Theme Description that explains the
role of the theme in Born a Crime. Your Theme Description should be 1-2 paragraphs.
Here are some questions to consider as you write each Theme Description:
How do the ideas or actions of the main characters reflect different aspects of the
theme?
Does the theme develop or change over the course of Born a Crime? If so, how?
If your evidence includes symbols, explain how the author uses those symbols to
explore the theme.
If your evidence includes specific quotes from the text, explain how those quotes
provide examples of how the theme applies to Born a Crime?
