Theme analysis in Orientation by Daniel Orozco Human beings inherently seek answers to different phenomenon, and authors use themes to convey messages to readers. Nonetheless, there is no single way to interpret such messages, and hence readers attach meaning to texts based on their understanding and experiences. In Orientation, the narrator and listener are the two major characters, with the monologue revolving around the lives of the workers in the workplace. The listener is a new employee being taken though an office tour, and the worker is merely an observer. Worker interactions influence workplace culture, and the exaggerations in the story seek to highlight on alienating office culture (McAlpin).
