It provides examples of both and an exercise to create sentences using the given words.

2) Examples of abstract nouns include greed, unhappiness, fear, anger, delivery, embarrassment, intelligence, beauty, courage, victory, activity, conclusion, imagination, appointment, happiness, friendship, disturbance, beginning, removal, ability, clumsiness, invasion, and pride.

Abstract Noun Powerpoint Game

Point Of View
The document discusses different points of view (POV) that can be used in fiction writing, including first person, second person, third person limited, and third person omniscient. It provides examples of each POV and discusses the advantages and limitations of each. It also encourages readers to think about how the POV affects their response to characters in a story.
Theme Lesson
The document discusses the concept of theme in fiction. It states that theme is the author's view of life or human nature communicated through the story rather than directly. Readers must analyze characters, events, and settings to infer the theme themselves. Effective themes connect with readers by addressing underlying human truths despite different experiences. When identifying themes, it is important to look for patterns, symbols, allusions, and deeper meanings in details and consider how theme, plot, and structure influence each other. The identified theme also does not fully explain the story but is one element of the whole. The document then prompts discussion of possible themes in the poem "To a Mouse" regarding comments on community and society or revelations of universal themes about the nature

Every culture has an origin story that is important for defining its identity and shared values. While stories differ in details, they often explore common themes of where a people came from and where they are going.

Myths typically use supernatural settings and characters to convey cultural lessons and values that unite a community.
