Theme for Liberty and Exile

The story " Liberty" and the narration poem " Exile" both present a very similar theme: One must give up something in order to change physically or mentally. In the story " Liberty", the main character's family were giving up their country which they loved, appreciated and knew so well to go to a foreign country where they accomplish freedom. The change here is obvious- the settlement differences. For the main character, in order for her to change her settlement along with her family, she must leave her beloved dog Liberty behind. In the story " Exile", the family also had to leave their home country which they love( you can tell by the way her parents's eyes were red)  to go to America. The main character, like her family, also had to give up the home she knew so well in order to change and leave for America. In conclusion, the theme for the story " Liberty" and the poem " Exile" both have a common theme: One must give up something in order to change.
Both stories of course have some separate themes:
" Liberty"  : change can be a difficult process
" Exile": Leaving everything you know behind can be hard.
