Theme of Lost Names
The theme of Lost Names is how the peristence to live a better life in a horrible environment will pay off. In Lost Names, the main character's family always try to be optomistic and think that everything will be fine. The grandmother gives the main charcter white rice and pork even though they are scarce. Father is also very calm and thinking about the future. He supports the family like nothing is different. He makes skates for his children and goes on daily walks with his son, the main character. It seems like they always have hope and make the best out of what they have. They don't cry with despair that everything is lost. Even though they are in a bad situation, they are happy.

I kind of disagree, i think that the theme is this: if you endure fools who control you, you will eventually be able to kick their butts. And also, they aren't that optimistic and they are only optimistic because they are sort of rich. But i do agree that they try to make the most of the difficult situation that they are in. And by the way, in chapter 'Lost Names' they do cry out in dispair and shame
I think that you described how the main character and his family are feeling really good. I think that maybe you might have over-exaggerated a little bit about how good they were feeling about their situation, but I do think that they were feeling pretty optimistic about their lives. I also agree with Anthony though in that it is easier for them to be optimistic about their situation because they are richer than most of the other families in the village. Great work though!! =P
i would like some people not to make inappropriate comments
