Another common theme is changing the fate. Reincarnated characters usually try to change the original path of their new identities. They might prevent a disaster, or make a different choice in relationships, which can completely change the development of the story. This theme reflects the human desire to have control over one's destiny and the idea of second chances.
A common theme is self - improvement. Characters often use the knowledge from their past lives to better themselves in their new lives. For example, they might study harder, learn martial arts more efficiently, etc.
One common theme is power. Necromancy often gives the characters a great deal of power, which can be used for good or evil. Another theme is the afterlife. Since necromancy deals with the dead, there are often questions and exploration about what happens after death.
One common theme is stigma. Many HIV book fictions show how people with HIV are stigmatized by society, whether it's in the workplace, in relationships or in their families. For example, in some stories, characters with HIV are shunned or discriminated against.
Identity is a very common theme. Transgender characters in these fictions are often on a journey to discover who they really are, like in 'Middlesex'. Another theme is acceptance, both self - acceptance and acceptance from society and family. In 'Redefining Realness', Janet Mock struggles to be accepted for who she is. And then there's the theme of love. In 'The Argonauts', Maggie Nelson explores how love can exist and be redefined in the context of transgender identity.
One common theme is survival. Characters in these fictions are often fighting to stay alive in the face of a deadly plague. Another is the breakdown of society. Plagues can disrupt social order, and this is often explored. For example, in 'The Stand' by Stephen King, the plague causes chaos and the formation of new, often extreme social groups. Also, themes of hope and despair are common. Some characters may find hope in the darkest of times, while others are consumed by despair.
Destruction is a common theme. Tsunamis are extremely powerful and cause widespread damage, and this is often depicted vividly in these fictions. For example, the destruction of homes, buildings, and entire communities.
Family is also a big theme. In many Korean immigrant book fictions like 'Pachinko', family relationships are central. The family has to support each other through the difficulties of immigration, and they also pass on their cultural values and traditions while adapting to new ones. And they face the generational gaps and differences in views on the immigrant experience within the family.
One common theme is self - image. In these fictions, characters often struggle with how they see themselves in relation to society's beauty standards. For example, in 'Wintergirls', the main character's perception of her body is severely distorted by the ideals she feels pressured to meet.
One common theme is the ethical dilemma. Writers often explore whether it's right for a group or government to control population growth. Another theme is the impact on individual freedoms. For instance, if there are restrictions on having children, how does that affect a person's sense of self and family.
Family is also a significant theme. Families are often torn apart or held together by the trials of the Dust Bowl. In many of these fictions, family members rely on each other for emotional and physical support. They face the challenges together, and their relationships are tested and strengthened by the extreme circumstances of the Dust Bowl.
One common theme is adventure. The gold rush was a time of great exploration and danger, and many fictions focus on the exciting journeys of the characters, like trekking through difficult terrains to reach the gold fields.
