The Silver Bowl  

 

 

 

 

           The theme of The silver bowl is bravery is the key to success. One reason why this is the theme is because Molly (the main character and hero) overcame her terrible family, survived her fathers beatings and his abandoning her. Another reason why this is the theme is because Molly can see visions of things that are going to happen in the future. That makes it easier for her to see when the royal family is in trouble. Lastly, the theme is bravery is the key to success because, at the end of the book Molly saved the king from 100 curses, with the help of two friends. She overcame the curses

and saved the last member of the royal family

          One reason why the theme of the book is bravery is the key to success is because Molly overcame her terrible family, survived her fathers beatings and his abandoning her. Not a regular seven year old could do all of that. After Molly was left at Dethemere's castle, she became a maid. The staff wasn't an nicer to her there than at home. The cook beat her and made Molly and the other maids do endless work for the king and queen. Instead of Molly getting down, it  made her work harder. 

         Another reason why the theme of the book is bravery is the key to success is because Molly can see visions of things that are going to say in the future. this made it easier for Molly to know when the royal family was in trouble. Molly's mother wasn't as bad as her father. The mother was just like Molly, she could see visions too. So before Molly went to Dethemere's castle the Mother told Molly to not let anyone know about her ability. In the middle of the book wolfs attack the castle. Molly already knows this is going to happen because she saw it in a vision. Molly couldn't save king Edmund, the Queen or the poor princess, but molly and her friend Tobias bravely killed a wolf and saved prince Alaric.

         Lastly, the theme of the book is bravery is the key to success because at the end of the book Molly saved the last member of the royal family. Prince Alaric had been injured on the shoulder by the bite of a wolf. Tobias and Molly sheltered Alaric from whatever came their way and finally when the day came that Alaric was all better he reclaimed his thrown from his cousin. This wouldn't be possible if it weren't for Molly's quick thinking.
