Both texts share the theme of how major disasters can traumatize survivors.
We can arrive at this answer because:
- The theme of a text refers to the message that the text wants to convey to the reader.
- “The Great Chicago Fire” shows the terrors of the fire that nearly decimated the entire city of Chicago in 1871, leaving many people dead, injured, homeless, and traumatized.
- “Fanny Bogs Lester” shows how this event impacted a family, as the narrator is a grown man who witnessed the Chicago fire when he was a child and was never able to forget.
- The narrator shows how he remembers the despair, the wounded and how his family was not able to act normally around the fire, from that day forward.
In this case, we can infer that the two texts have as their theme the impact that a major disaster can trigger on survivors, leaving people with a lot of trauma.
