Theme guide- Coraline

 Looks can be deceiving- In the movie Coraline it shows that at first the other mother looks nice loving and friendly but near the end she starts looking scratched up and evil and not the same and turns out shes trying to take Coraline's soul. The cat also seems scary and not nice but in the end it ends up helping her.

Be grateful for what you have- In the movie Coraline doesn't like her parents as much as a child should because they don't give her much attention and don't focus on her instead they focus on their jobs and don't normally care about what she does but then she meets her other mother and is so happy and starts to wish that it was her real family but then near the end her parents get captured and she has to free them  and the other mother starts to change then Coraline starts to think that she does like her old family and that she wants it back.

Don't be greedy- When Coraline meets the other mother she is happy and feels heard and starts to love it in the other world because shes now getting what she wants her new parents can cook and listen to her when she wants to be heard and she is also able to do more stuff and starts to be greedy but she doesn't realise the things her other parents/real parents do for her and she doesn't realise until they get captured and the other mother turns evil.
