A major theme in Twilight is love. It is shown when Bella and Edward are constantly together, and also when Bella sacrifices her own life to protect her family and friends.

A major theme of the novel is how drugs can completely ruin your life. The book explains how using drugs will lead to addiction and ruin your life.

I'd say that the major theme of the novel Twilight would be that you can't control love. I'd say this because Bella falls in love with Edward, even though he's a vampire. And once she finds that out, she still sticks by his side and loves him anyway, even if he could harm her.

A major thing in the novel could be: things aren't always what they seem. Edward is a vampire and you would think he would be mean but he is amazingly nice. ANother example is Laurent seemed like the leader of the other coven, but it was actually James

A major theme in Maximum Ride is the horror of scientific experiments on humans. Two specific examples include the main characters themselves and how unhappy they are with their lives, and later on in the institute when the flock uncovers more human experiments, many of which are horribly deformed and suffering a painful death.

A major theme of The Burn Journals, I guess, is that there is always something to live for. Brent thought he wanted to die, but over the course of the novel he really began to regret ever thinking of doing such a thing. He also noticed how much he'd taken things for granted when he was alive, like how much his family cared about him, and being able to use his hands. Therefore, I think the message of the book really is that no matter how rough things get, there's always a reason to keep going on.

A Rip in Heaven

The major theme in courage and understanding.

One of the major themes is probably that love is undying. Edward can't die, because he is a vampire, and he loves Bella. Another example is that when Bella dies, she sees Edward in her heavene as an angel, so even though she dies physically, their love will always be eternal.

A major theme of high heat was overcoming dispair. Shane looks to baseball to overcome the dispair caused by his sudden losses, his sister looks to her pets.

***Twilight***
One theme from this book would be love is never your choice. Bella and Edward fall in love against Eward's wishes, because he is a vampire. Edward falls for Bella and does not want to turn her into a vampire. You can not choose to fall in love with a person if it is true love.

a major theme in Max ride is being yourself. Accept yourself and fight what you believe in.

Twilight.

The major theme of this book is love. Edward and Bella fall in love with each other accidently, and even though he could harm her, she still sticks by his side. That's love.
