Describe the relationship between the title and the theme. The title is ‘The Portable Phonograph’ I think it sort of means freedom in a sense. Often people think music=freedom, often you can’t trust freedom because it comes with lots of consequences. So the title (The Portable Phonograph) and the theme (You can’t trust everyone) coralate.

How does the main conflict help to illustrate the theme? The musician wants to steal the Phonograph and the theme is (You can’t trust everyone) so the conflict helps ilistrate the theme by the slealing idea

How does the climax help to illustrate the theme? Dr.Jenkins is hiding all his valuables things so it doesn't get stolen, he doesn't trust the cough in the woods
