if we’re asked to write about a theme from our mod c texts what’s a really general theme that’s easy to write about that i could choose from ‘a crafty feeling’ or ‘what time is it now where you are’ because both are about writing which isnt a general or easy theme to write about it that makes sense

I did McCann's "What time is it now where you are" last year and honestly, the biggest (and probably one of the only) themes in the poem is the contrast in setting. I believe one of the mothers is in war-torn Afghanistan, risking her life every day while protecting her home nation. On the other hand, the boy's second mother is living with him in America, a completely different life.
