When was the last time you read a book about love or hate or maybe both? Many books have a lot to do with love and hate. Sometimes when the words love and hate mean the most in a story they're not said very much, but the sub-themes are so strong you know that they are there all over in the story. Love and hate are powerful words, and you can use them with meaning, but you can use these words carelessly too.
In the book A Tree Groes In Brooklyn, love and hate are very powerful sub-themes in the story. A lot of the people in the story share a love and hate relationship with eachother. What I mean is, they all have things that make them love eachother, but there's also a hatred that groes in between people as their lives go on. Francie loves her mother, because she's her mom, but Francie knows that Katie loves Neeley more than she loves Francie, so that makes it harder for Francie to love Katie. Katie loves Francie more out of pitty than truly loving her daughter, and she admits that in the story. In a way it's okay that Katie doesn't love Francie as much as she loves Neeley, because Katie needs Francie more than she needs Neeley, but she loves Neeley more.
In the story A Tree Groes In Brooklyn they use the words love and hate and sub-themes apropriatly and meaningfully. They incorporate love and hate into the story very strongly and this story is very touching. I think that this kind of situation happens in life all of the time and this stroy shows it's realism through the sub-themes very well. This story couldn't have been written any more powerfully than it is right now.
