Theme

Front

What would be a theme of this poem? I come with no wrapping or pretty pink bows. I am who I am, from my head to my toes. I tend to get loud when speaking my mind. Even a little crazy some of the time. I'm not a size 5 and don't care to be. You can be you and I can be me. I try to stay strong when pain knocks me down. And the times that I cry are when no one's around. To error is human or so that's what they say. Well, tell me who's perfect anyway.

What word best describes the mood of this passage? The climbers approached the top of the mountain. Some of them were doubled over with exhaustion, seeming to claw at the air to pull themselves forward. They brushed away the falling snow. One by one they slipped and fell on the ice. Yet, one by one they pulled themselves up and continued onward.
