Summary

Theme Building offers a comprehensive exploration of how narrative components work together to create impactful themes in storytelling. It argues that theme isn't merely an abstract idea but a carefully constructed element arising from the dynamic interaction of character development, plot structure, and setting. By examining these elements, readers can deepen their understanding of literary works and enhance their own storytelling abilities.

 
The book systematically progresses through key narrative components. It begins by distinguishing theme from plot and moral, then explores how character arcs contribute to theme through choices and motivations. The analysis extends to plot, revealing how narrative structure and conflict amplify thematic concerns, and setting, demonstrating how environments symbolize thematic elements.

 
The approach blends academic rigor with practical guidance, supported by diverse examples from literature, film, and television. Ultimately, Theme Building equips readers with the tools to identify, analyze, and intentionally build themes into their own work. It addresses ongoing discussions about authorial intent versus reader interpretation, providing a balanced perspective valuable for students, educators, and anyone passionate about literature and the art of storytelling, empowering them to craft narratives with depth and resonance.

    Rushdoony's study tells us an important part of American history: exactly what has public education been trying to accomplish? Before the 1830s and Horace Mann, no schools in the U.S. were state supported or state controlled. They were local, parent-teacher enterprises, supported without taxes, and taking care of all children. They were remarkably high in standard and were Christian. From Mann to the present, the state has used education to socialize the child. The school's basic purpose, according to its own philosophers, is not education in the traditional sense of the 3 R's. Instead, it is to promote "democracy" and "equality," not in their legal or civic sense, but in terms of the engineering of a socialized citizenry. Public education became the means of creating a social order of the educators design. Such men saw themselves and the school in messianic terms. This book was instrumental in launching the Christian school and homeschool movements.
