Quote: We were all ranked together at the valuation. Men and women, old and young, married and single, were ranked with horses, sheep, and swine. There were horses and men, cattle and women, pigs and children, all holding the same rank in the scale of being, and were all subjected to the same narrow examination.
This quotes shows the theme because it says how people were ranked with horses and other animals. They were being treated like animals.
