Read the short story “Systems” by Charles Yu.  It can be found in the Short Stories folder in Unit 6.  Answer the prompt below.
A theme is a main idea, lesson or meaning that a story communicates.  There can be more than one theme and the theme can be conveyed using any of the literary elements – symbolism, setting, character, dialogue, imagery, etc. Themes often attempt to tell us something about human nature—to present some universal truth about our experience and place in the world.  
What is one of the themes of this story?  Use quotations from the story to support your claim about the theme.
Keep in mind that you are not being asked to summarize the story.  All of your classmates have read it as well.  Your job it to interpret the story–to explain what it means to you and how that meaning is conveyed.
