Theme

The Four Oxen and the Lion Theme The Four Oxen and the Lion A lion hunted for game in a large field. He found four oxen grazing together. He tried to attack several times. However, each time he came near, they turned their tails to one another. As a result, he was met by the horns of one ox no matter which side he approached. The next day, the lion returned to prowl the field. He found the four oxen quarrelling among themselves, and then each ox went alone to a separate corner of the field. Seeing his opportunity, the lion attacked them one by one until he had killed them all.

Guided Practice with Theme Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow. It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain. He had never wronged me. It was his eye! He had the eye of a vulture, a vile creature. I made up my mind to take the life of the ugly old man. I cautiously opened the door to his room where he lay asleep. The old man's hour had come! With a loud yell, I leaped into the room. Presently I heard a slight groan, the groan of mortal terror. He shrieked once––once only. And now an anxiety seized me––the sound would be heard by a neighbor! In an instant I dragged him to the floor, and pulled the heavy bed over him. But, for many minutes, his heart beat on with a muffled sound. At length it ceased. I worked hastily, but in silence. I then took up planks from the flooring, and deposited his body. I then replaced the boards perfectly. (continued on next slide) The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allen Poe abridged version

Guided Practice with Theme Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow. As the bell sounded the hour, there came a knocking at the front door. I went down to open it with a light heart, for what had I now to fear? There entered three officers of the law. A neighbor had heard a shriek and suspicion of foul play had been aroused. The shriek, I said, was my own in a dream. I smiled. The officers were satisfied. They sat, and while we talked, my head ached from a ringing. Louder and louder it rang. I paced with heavy strides as the noise steadily increased. Oh God! What could I do? And still the men chatted pleasantly, and smiled. Was it possible they heard not? No, no, they heard! They suspected! Anything was more tolerable than this noise! louder! louder! "Villains!" I shrieked, "I admit the deed! Tear up the planks! Here, here! It is the beating of his hideous heart!" (continued from previous slide)
