For example,“ My mom has told me the story many, many, MANY, times of how, when she confessed to my grandmother that she was pregnant with me, her mother beat her. BEAT HER! She was twenty-five. That story is the basis of my sexual education and has reiterated why it's important to wait until you're married to give it up.” Today, during these days especially during high school a lot of sex goes on. And a lot of diseases which can cause HIV, STDS, and Pregnancy. These kinda days all people care about is having sex with other people whether how many girls or guys can you sleep with. I also learned something that whatever you do in life whether good or bad it will come back at you in the future. For example, If you sleep with girls you will soon be a father in the future without you even knowing it, If you study hard in school you can accomplish anything you want in school. Whatever you do in life good or bad it will always come back at you in the future.

The author showed this theme through the glass snowdrop, a village shop called Monday and Brown’s stocking system, and Tristan’s character development. In my opinion, this theme is still relevant in today’s society.…
