There would be no luck if it were not for bad luck. Scholars take a close look at the theme of adversity through multiple reads of Taggot, the Blacksmith’s Daughter. They place sticky notes on important details of the story and complete a Themes of Adversity graphic organizer. They then use what they learn and apply it to Mogg, the Villein’s Daughter.
