Themes of Loss in "The Shawl" and "Bone Black"

Losing a family is always difficult and it affects everyone in a variety of ways. Some people are tolerant of their feelings, and from the perspective of family relationships they are usually closest to the relationship between parents and children. If this relationship is shortened or does not exist due to loss, it may be particularly destructive. Losing a family does not necessarily mean actual physical loss, but it may also refer to the emotional distance between two people.

The repeated theme of "shawl" has been lost. When Aanakwad left her husband to look for another man, she left her son with her daughter. She took her baby with another man. Both my father and son were destroyed by Anakuwad 's departure. Indeed, the little boy really ran after having carried the mother and sister's carriage. Later that boy was told of her sister's death - his mother Anayawad threw the girl into the wolf on the day he left. That boy, "still", probably thought that his mother was doing something like his sister. At the moment, he says, "He knows that this broken place in your heart will not be repaired without some horrible means."

One of the themes of "shawl" is that trauma and trauma experiences are handed down among generations in family life. The narrator tells stories about his father. His father's mother fell in love with another man. Finally, she left and brought her daughter. When the horse-drawn carriage left, the boy (father) ran after the carriage till it could not run. It was a very painful experience to change him. The boy became my husband and father, and my father was a tale of the story. When the current father began drinking, the narrator and his brothers and sisters began to think that their father should be avoided. When the narrator feels strong enough he will fight his father. This shows a change in his father's behavior. Finally, the narrator persuaded the father to burn down the shawl. This suggests that the father may ultimately accept the fact that it is prudent to overcome or forgive trauma as childhood.

The stage of losing a loved one, feeling mourning or feeling sorrow is the most important theme of The Lovely Bones. Through the voice of a 14-year-old novel narrator, Susie Salmon, the reader can understand the process of sorrow more deeply. Susie is paying more attention to the influence and influence of killing and rape on his family, not the event itself. She saw parents and sisters experience five stages of sorrow, denial, anger, negotiation, frustration, and acceptance. However, Alice Sebold revealed that these categories are not necessarily strict, and that individuals deal with sorrow in various ways. For example, Susie's mother Abigail has given up her child.
