II. Based on the details of the character map, what is the dominant 21 st century literary theme of the text
entitled Armor by John Bengan. Explain your answer. (5 points)
I can consider fracturing as the 21st century literary theme of “Armor” by John Bengan. The story
narrates different perspectives between a scenario of the experience of Ronnie witnessing the death of Biboy
and the threat of “death squad” as they considered him as one of the drug pushers. It also depicts how the
readers know biboy as the cheerful, kind, and helpful guy but as to the Death Squad they think that he is a
bad person.
