Themes of a Small Good Thing

The story "A Small Good Thing" contained a good whole of themes. I specifically wanted to emphasize on the idea of compassion, simply because it is an act that unites and defines human well-being. I believe that life can be very fickle, one moment you're having the time of your life and the next, you lose everything. This was presented early on in the story when the author described the life of the house as being happy, and fulfilled.

Their lives suddenly changed, when Scotty got into an accident. The story presented 3 situations that all had similar ordeals- Ann and Howard, the black man and Franklin and the baker. As the story moved on, it can be seen that the 3 groups all sympathized with one other because they were all undergoing difficult times. We turn to one other for ease and it even strengthened out association as friends. I think it's gorgeous when compassion brings out true human feelings and shields out any bad vigor that inhibits our capability to reach out to other people.

This excerpt from the story, "Although they were tired and in anguish, they listened to what the baker had to say", would fit my situation well because it exemplifies how compassion brings habitancy together. Sometimes in life, we have to go straight through trials. In essence, it is these trials that make us stronger and having the ease of man else makes bonds in the middle of habitancy more fortified. With this statement, i guess it is safe to say that compassion played a big role.
