The Djinn Who lives Between Night and Day THEME- Ignorance is Bliss
In this crime filled, hectic, and quite frankly, confusing life we need morals and simple philosophies to live by, much like the wonderful stories we read. 'The Djinn Who Lives Between Night and Day' by Bruce Holland Rogers is a grand example of this. The theme was that sometimes ignorance is bliss if it was cause by good intent. You see, this pertains to the story because the main character, Al-faq (A djinn who lives in between worlds) goes to a man in woe and weary pain for he believes his entire family is dead, but Al-faq gives him a set of specific directions to follow and says if he never looks for his family or speaks again, he can bring his family back to like once more. In real life this theme can be relatable by give a child the gift of ignorance (never thought I'd say THAT in my life.) by telling them the classic 'Darling, your hamster didn't die...he just ran away.' speech.
