Question

Can someone please answer the following questions about the "Bat Poet" by Randall Jarrell.

What is the authors purpose?
What is the theme of this story?
How does the authors purpose differ from the theme of this story?
What views about what's important do most of the stories and poems in this unit share? How do the selections differ in their views of what's important?
Name two pieces that share a theme and explain how each story develops this theme?

Please note that I have already answered these questions I just am checking to see if they are accurate or not. Thanks

Answer 1

The author's purpose is to show how changing looking at things differently can change your life.
The theme of the story is perspective and social acceptance.
The purpose differs from the theme is such a way that the author wants to show his intent that changing your perspective opens different things while the theme reminds you of the challenges of having a different view than others.
