What is concrete examples?

Question

Ok, like I had to read a lot of stories. and it asked me What common theme did all of stories have? Explain why with concrete examples from the stories. But I don't know what concrete examples are.
I was gonna start telling the theme about the fall of the house of usher

Answer 1

Explain with concrete examples means to reference something from the story that shows what the theme is.

I haven't read The Fall of the House of Usher in many years, but let's say the story is Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. One theme might be "reindeer's inhumanity to reindeer". A concrete example would be the other reindeer wouldn't let Rudolph play their reindeer games because he was different.

I'm not trying to be facetious. I really hope that helps.

Answer 2

Concrete examples means 'specific' examples.

So compare specific examples form you stories that show common themes.

e.g If you read heaps of childrens stories, your common themes may be that each story had a 'moral'. Then your concrete evidence would be - what were the morals to each story and how do they relate to eacfh other.

Answer 3

You can't even "prove" that a member of the KKK is a racist. When it was founded, it was actually a social organization. Try the Congressional Black Caucus which won't admit white Congressmen who represent majority black districts. You can only make assumptions based on typical behavior patterns. Obama joined a church founded on the philosophy of James Cone's Black Liberation Theology, and which promotes that on its website. I consider Cone's philosophy to be racist. Obama attended that church for 20 years so he is either too dumb to be president or he agress with this philosphy. He is responsible for his campaign's actions and they have routinely accused those who do not agree with them of racism. This is race-baiting and a tactic used by racists. He has done nothing to stop this from being done on his behalf. Obama has had nothing to say about the use of the N-word by Jesse Jackson and various celebrities who support him. Nor has he don't more than mildly admonish celebrities who have made racist and sexist jokes at fund raisers and rallies. Are these things OK as long as they come from supporters? A lot of people in the US who don't support Obama for perfectly legitimate policy reasons are damned sick and tired of being accused of being racists. It's a cheap threat and a nasty weapon. It isn't going to work.
