YOUR QUESTION:How does one find a motif in a novel? Specifically the novels Lord of the Flies, Of Mice and Men, and Romeo and Juliet. Also, what is the difference between a motif and a theme or symbol? Thank you!

Is this not something you have in your notes? I feel like it's something a teacher definitely should have gone over. D:

This is a good site that explains a motif, theme, and symbol with some examples: http://literarydevices.net/motif/
Here's one with more explanation broken down: http://homeworktips.about.com/od/writin ... rature.htm
And here's a video if you learn better by listening than by reading: http://study.com/academy/lesson/motif-i ... -quiz.html

To find one, if it doesn't come naturally to you, you gotta be kinda observant while reading a book or spend some time afterwards thinking about what you read and flipping through the book to remind yourself of things. When you have to look for these things for a class, as annoying as it is, I find it helpful to take notes while reading the book. Depending on how long the chapters are, read a chapter or a few, then take some notes. Jot down a summary of the pages. Take some time to think about symbols you read and jot them down. Jot down the main attitude or feeling of the pages you read/that you felt while reading. Writing these things down will help you find and remember patterns. Not only will your notes be something you can go back to look at and look for patterns in but also taking notes forces you to think about it a bit and you may notice yourself writing down repeated things, making it easier to recognize the continued theme or motif as you continue reading the book because you're now aware of a possible pattern that is forming.

Thank you! And unfortunately, my teacher didn't bring up motifs until yesterday and the final is tomorrow. And I won't have notes or anything as it is a test, but I'll study my annotations tonight. Also those links really helped my understanding, thanks again.

Ah, frustrating! Good luck on your test!

Noic topic, btw, marking! ^^ PS: I'm very bad at maths lel and currently, I finished all my hw!

TYPE OF QUESTION: Science (Energy)
YOUR QUESTION: If a bus moves, does the passengers inside have kinetic energy?

So I would say that, no, the passengers have a moment of inertia but not kinetic energy, since the bus is what is moving. However, if you consider from the perspective of outside the bus, they would have kinetic energy. So I would just answer the question and make sure you explain your answer.

@ryunosuke akutagawa - completing @WastedSpace 's answer, if that's okay:

According to kinetic energy's formula KE = 1/2 . m . v^2 , we can conclude that it varies with mass and speed. Speed, on the other hand, varies with dislocation and time. Dislocation depends on the referential: for instance, if the referential is the bus, there is no dislocation on the passengers' part; if the referential is the road there is dislocation. The former implies that there is no speed and therefore no kinetic energy; the latter implies that there is indeed speed and consequently kinetic energy.
