Focal themes/concepts:
-Dealing with adversity at all stages of life and how literature reflects that as a universal struggle
-Changing perspective: how we change the way we view the world based on our environment, how and what we learn, and experience
-Influence of authority figures on our life experiences: How what we learn and know is affected by what we are told vs. what we see/do/experience

This is a basic set of guiding concepts.  It does not entail either the complete content or the literary specifics of the works.
