theme the effects of war

Author's note: This piece is about my theme in my book The people of Sparks. I wrote this to demonstrate my understanding of theme.

 How would you feel if your village caught on fire all because of the villagers? What if you had to move into the empty lands? The People of Sparks, by Jeanne DuPrau, is about the people form Ember living in a hotel at the edge of a village. The people of Sparks made them work for food, they also poisoned them with poison ivy. Then the people of Ember started a war with the Sparks people. The effects of war is the main theme in my book.

            Because of war the lives of the people of Sparks were changed. One way that the lives changed  is that their most powerful weapon exploded and that got a tree on fire. That small fire got on another tree. Then the fire got to the village and people tried to put it out but it spread too quickly. So the village burned down. Because of the fire the people of Sparks had to move to find another city to live in so there start over again.     


            The war not only affected the people of Sparks, but also the people of Ember. It affected the people of Ember because the war started a fire and the fire burned down the whole village. So all of the people have to move into the empty lands with nothing to feed them or for them to drink. That made all of the people angry at everyone. Even the people on their side.

                                 
             The effects of war have a huge impact on people and the results can be good event like getting rid of an enemy is a good thing. Sometimes a bad effect happens like your village is burned down because of your people. So the war affects everyone on both sides no matter what the outcome is.
