Hammer and Margaret Task Prompt: Identify a theme shared by "The Inheritance of Tools" and "Margaret's Story." Explain how
each passage develops this theme. Use details from both passages to support your response

The theme of nostalgia over their respective fathers.

Explanation: These stories share the theme of nostalgia over the narrator's father. In "Margaret's Story." the narrator explains how well she knows her father's place, and nostalgically describes every detail about the things he did. We can see this in the lines: "My father walking along the shelves, me in his arms, explaining alphabetization at the same time as he taught me to spell.". Likewise, in "The Inheritance of Tools" the narrator reminisces about his father's teachings on how to use the hammer he got from him, before passing. We can see this in the lines; "It took the better part of a year for the scar to disappear, and every time I noticed it I thought of my father."
