__J ____ T ____ i ____ m ____ e ____ d ____ B ____ C ____ R ____ 2 ____J __ I think that the theme of the story “The ugly Duckling” I that you cant judge a book by its cover. In the beginning of the story, the Ugly Duckling is upset, for he feels unloved. His siblings won’t play with him, his Mother calls him the “Ugly Duckling”, and a farmer laughs at him. I think we all feel unloved at one point or another. This part of the story tells is that there always is someone who is having worse troubles. Later, when the Duckling realizes that he is a swan, and he joins his true siblings. The theme shows us that what may be true on the outside isn’t true within. We just need to wait for the moment when we can break free and show our inner swan! __ R ____ e ____ f ____ l ____ e ____ c ____ t ____ i ____ o ____ n __ I think that I could have made an inference to make the story a four out of four instead of a three out of four.
