The Blue Bead

Theme

Atmosphere

We believe the theme of the story "The Blue Bead" is that people often don't realize that risk taking can lead to unforeseen achievements. The setting, atmosphere, and mood helped us to understand the story's theme by explaining and analyzing the basic structure of life as it is lived. We experienced the feeling of anxiety and calmness, while having a visual description of various situations. This aided us in finding a general idea for the theme.

As the story began to express the array of sunshine, crystal water, golden shallows and forested hills, the atmosphere emitted a calm and serene vibe. When the crocodile was introduced the atmosphere became more tense and wary. As the story advanced to the climax, and Sibia rescued the women from the crocodile, the atmosphere changed from calm to erratic.

We believe that this would be an appropriate image relating to "The Blue Bead" because, it portrays an act of risk taking, or in other words taking a leap of faith. This was the act Sibia had taken as she gained the courage to rescue the woman from the ferocious crocodile.

Mood

Setting

In the beginning the mood of the story expressed an aura of fascination and curiosity. As the story continued the mood transitioned into unease and a sense of doubt. When Sibia had witnessed the attack against the women, she acted on adrenaline that pulsed through her. This made the reader feel suspense and hesitation for her survival.

The setting of the story took place somewhere in India, where deep in a wild forest lied a great Indian river. The story took place during the day time when the sun shone brightly. As well as during the evening as the sun set, and Sibia could see the pink ultraviolet shadows as she came down to the stepping-stones.
