Literary Convention Personal Preferences of Themes or Concepts Themes form the underlying messages that the writers or artists would like to get across. The primary themes I consider fundamental are courage, love, loyalty, honesty, and perseverance. I prefer the subjects such as courage because it helps explore the difficult moments that life presents to the individuals that must be surmounted and thus help individuals draw inspiration from the fictional and the non-fictional characters in a piece of literature (Torell, Örjan 379). The other concepts, such as love that can always help enhance the relationship between individuals and for families, it creates immense unity. Meaning of Literary Convention Literary convention refers to the defining features of a given genre, for instance, the play, novel, short story, sonnet, and poetry.

Maker Movement One of the emerging trends in the realm of learning is the Maker Movement. This is a movement that seeks to encourage creativity and imagination in communities and the use of digital and physical forums to promote innovations. This paper reviews articles that have explored the Maker Movement from various perspectives. In its article, WE ARE TEACHERS STAFF (2013) explores how the Maker Movement applies in the education sector. It states that new technologies, such as robotics, 3D printing, e-textile, and microprocessors, have a special place in schools. The Maker Movement ensures that these tools are affordable either freely or cheaply, in addition to offering platforms for sharing the resulting knowledge and inventions.
