What is the theme of story he living or dead by mark twin?

There isn't a story called "He Living or Dead" by Mark Twain. Perhaps you're thinking of a different story or author?

It's possible you're misremembering the title or author. If you can provide more details about the story, like the plot or characters, I might be able to help you identify it.

For example, you could say:

* "It's a story about a man who is thought to be dead but is actually alive."

* "The story takes place in the American West."

* "The main character is a mischievous prankster."
