What is the THEME of the narrative below? Betsy’s mom had gotten her a new outfit for school pictures. Betsy grimaced the first time she saw it. It was hideous. She looked like a kindergartner. However, she also knew that money was tight at home and her mom was most likely very excited about the surprise purchase for her daughter. Betsy knew what she had to do. The morning of school pictures, she got up and got dressed. Her mom smiled widely as she walked out of her bedroom waring the new outfit. Her mom fixed her hair and Betsy left for school. When she arrived at the school building, classmates stared at her. A few snickered. Some made sarcastic comments about her going into the Kindergarten building. Betsy just kept thinking of her Mom’s huge, proud smile earlier that morning. When she saw her best friend, Becca, she explained the situation. “Well, I am proud of you, Betsy. What you did today takes a lot of guts.”

It often takes strength to do what is right.

Stand by your friends no matter what.

What is the THEME of the narrative below? Sam and Kate had organized an event in which a group of 20 kids would come together to make 80 frozen egg casseroles to donate to the Salvation Army Free Breakfast Program. They had received food donations from two local grocery stores, and they had received permission from the Community center to use their large kitchen to make the egg casseroles on a Saturday morning. When everyone arrived on that Saturday morning, kids got a recipe and started working on their own egg casserole. Kids were waiting on one another to get to their needed ingredients, and found themselves bumping into one another as they worked on their own recipes. “Hey everyone,” Kate said. “Let’s try setting up an assembly line.” Everyone agreed that was a great idea. They took a few minutes to develop the assembly line, but once they got going, it was so much more efficient. Before long, all 80 egg casseroles were assembled, baked, wrapped up, and ready to be delivered.
