A Pearl In The Storm Theme Analysis

Decent Essays
In the book A Pearl in the Storm by Tori Murden McClure there are many opportunities for the reader to relate to one or more themes. There are many themes Murden represents in the book, but there are two themes that I strongly agree Murden represents. Those themes are bravery and determination. Murden is one brave soul who shows bravery throughout the whole book. There are sections in the book where Tori shows more determination than others, but Murden mostly shows determination throughout the whole book as well.
