6. Good theme Vs Bad Theme
Good theme: I think one theme for December is that young people tend to be very concerned about their social position. I think this because Holling is very nervous about what is performance in the play will do for his social status.
Bad theme: I think the theme is Holland is in a play and has tights on the but

7. Good theme vs. Bad theme
Bad theme: holing did not get his baseball signed. I think this because Mickey said I don’t sign baseballs for tites.
Good theme: One theme for December is to not put people on too high of a pedestal. Holling worshipped Mickey Mantle simply because of his baseball skill, even holding him in god-like status.
