My Side of the Mountain

THEMES

By Roma

THEMES Today I am going to talk about the themes

in My Side of the Mountain. There are a few themes, but I will only state 3.

Survival

Adventure

Environment

SURVIVAL The theme survival is a very important

theme. This is because there is a young boy aged 12 who is trying to survive in the Catskill mountains. He is attempting to live all by himself therefore he is surviving on his own.

EXAMPLE/S

-Sam is surviving on his own in the Catskills.

ADVENTURE The boy, Sam is having an adventure by

living and exploring by himself. He is also meeting new people/things and “adventursing.”

EXAMPLE/S

-Sam goes around “adventurising” the Catskills.

FRIENDSHIP Friendship is important in this book

because Sam makes lots of new friends. He also mentions in the book that making friends is important otherwise he’ll be very lonely.

EXAMPLE/S

-Sam makes friends with the Baron Weasel, and now he’s accompanying him.

-Her makes friends with the librarian, Miss Turner and she helps Sam.

THANKYOU!
