Ambition? Do you have to explain why ambition is a theme in each? What would you say for Macbeth? And I'm assuming from its inclusion, you can use plays?

Oedipus the King, Into the Wild, You Shall Know Our Velocity!, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time... these come to mind quickly.

Really, aren't most protagonists ambitious about accomplishing something?

I really don't know. She just said "Erin, you will be writing about the theme of ambition." I said "ok".

Streetcar Named Desire, Unbearable Lightness of Being, Zorba The Greek, American Psycho, Death of A Salesman, and Siddhartha.

Those are the easiest ones I could think of and that you could probably find in Sparknotes.com or wherever else.

I doubt you'll be expected to read 15 novels.

We don't have to read them, just discuss themes and take excerpts from them to illistrate the theme.

Thanks guys!

lol, that seems like a really stupid thing to do when you haven't read the books.

I'm guessing that nearly every fictional book has a theme of ambition in it though.
