The joys, powers, and possibilities of creativity is the third theme in Frindle. What may be most interesting about this is theme is how many different sources there are for creativity/ When Nick transform his third grade classroom to a sandy beach, he is responding at least in part to outside pressures, like the snow. When he starts chirping like a red-winged blackbird, he does so because he synthesizes information from the mass media (a TV show) with direct observation (what Mrs. Avery's nose looks like). And when he generates frindle, Nick does so from an innate desire to have his own way, combined with Mrs. Granger's direct instruction on the nature of language. What is more, the idea develops from that initial spark to a more realized trend through enlisting social support, through Bud Lawrence's merchandizing, and through Mrs. Granger playing an oppositional role to flesh out the development narrative. Taken together, these elements of Frindle demonstrate a complex perspective on creativity.
