There are billions of books in the world and all of them have some sort

of theme, but Kindred by Octavia Butler has a theme that makes you realize so many things. Kindred by Octavia Butler is a story of an 20th century woman named Dana . Dana and her husband Kevin have a n

ormal life until something happens that will change their lives forever.

The day Dana met Rufus, the son of a slave owner in the 1800’s. I

think that the main theme of this book is that the settings can affect a person in many ways, so we need to be open-minded.

                               

                             One reason I chose this thesis was because

many people don't know how easy they've got it, and I think this

book reminds us all that. People always whine but they would never

survive  a day doing what their ancestors did every single day.

                               Another reason I chose this thesis is that people’s

point of view changes throughout the setting. I think this book really

shows how we need to be open minded.It helps us realize many things and Octavia Butler found a great way to tell us that.By taking  modern day African-American woman and taking her back to the 1800’s and live the lives of her ancestors.It shows us the different perspectives by introducing us to Rufus, a slave owners son.

                              My last reason why I chose this thesis is that Octavia Butler really let us connect to the characters . We had both perspectives

of present and past that helped us understand her message better.

                               In conclusion Kindred by Octavia Butler is a great

book which was a very important and valuable theme. It has helped me

be more open-minded  and see and understand others opinions.
