The protagonist in Saint Iggy is trying to make people think he's not a bad person. The people in his school judge him for how he looks not for who he is. Iggy then tries to do something helpful for his community so people think of him as a good person. This theme compares to the real world because people are always trying to impress each other. They always care for what others think about them and try to be someone they're not an that only leads to more problems.People are always trying to be what others want them to be. Others are always judged on how they dress and act not for who they are .

1- Its trying to spread communism


2-Its trying to help out the Soviet Union, because it shows Russia's former communist flag


3-I think the most persuasive element is the people in the back, because they represent the working class and its saying that they're for the people

a) When Mr.Maloney says something to his wife that upsets her and drives her to kill her own husband ,I think the author did not include that pice of writing to keep us intrested in the story ,so we keep reading .

b)The title is symbolic of how she kill her husband with a frozen lamb leg

c)The protagonist is Mrs.Maloney , at first shes kind ,caring ,and loving but when her husband talks to her she becomes angry and upset and kill Mr. Maloney.

d)The theme is how quickly someone can change with a little bit of bad news because as soon as Mr.Maloney tells Mrs.Maloney something she becomes more serious and kills him with a leg of lamb.

1. Iggy gets suspended from school and is attempting to make something of himself so that he doesn't get expelled.It connects to the theme that anyone can accomplish anything if they put their mind to it and try hard, and that it doesn't matter if your poor or rich.

2. The most significant theme is that anyone no matter who they are can accomplish anything they put their mind to.The title connects to the theme "Saint Iggy" because it's calling him a saint and hes trying to do good so he can stay in school. Iggy supports the theme because he tries to do something helpful to the community and help others. The setting shows how it doesn't matter if your rich or poor you can help the community and others.

3. One of the themes that connects to the real world is what people think of you, Iggy spends most of his time thinking of a way to make people see him as a better person, like the real world most people care about what others care so they try to do things so others see them and consider them good people but to do it for fame is not truly a good deed.
