Identites

Identites The theme of mistaken identity is shown in the story by the man mistaking the people for gangsters, and the police mistaking the man for a person who stole a car. While the man was driving down the road, he started to become more and more lost, while he was driving he noticed these people standing around. To him they looked like bad people and he became nervous, he started thinking to himself that they were going to rob him. While this was going on the man did not realize there was a inexperienced police man following him. As the man got out of hisb grey Mercedes Benz, the police man got out of the car aswell. The man felt more secure knowing there was a police around, because he knew his identity and knew he was a good person. The officer told the man to put his hands in the air, he did not follow through with that order. Instead he went to grab his identity to show the officer, it was to late though and the officer shot him. In my conclusion this is the theme of mistaken identity in the story.

Kiana, This is a good summary of the story, however, it is not a paragraph analysing the theme and proving your point. If you need some help with that let me know.
