In chapter 5 of Beka Lamb we see the theme of Beka being a fortunate black child in the community quoting Bill Lamb " Beka the money you've wasted could feed a poor family for 6 months" showing Beka isn't mature enough to know things are hard with her family and the opportunity she has been given is taken for granted because she constantly lies to her parents. Beka shows true remorse for her actions and causing hurt to her parents she tries to show she is maturing by doing the house work.
In chapter 6 we see the themes of mystery and racial discrmination coming out when a new character the maskman is revealed. The name came about when he was having an intimate relationship with a carib woman and some members of the carib tribe put a "spell" on him causing him to have spots on the places they touched. We also see friendship as a theme where Beka and Toycie although differ in age come to share a close and sister-like bond with each other and also how Beka can't stop the lying which Toycie doesn't understand.
