Abstract: The idea that art or literature is a mirror is revealed by the explanation of the Reflection Theory. Reality is an effective concept, with many expansions such as socialist realism, social realism, critical realism, observer realism. Opposing arguments arise as if literature reflects what is like a picture frame, it does not process its background, it just goes to the point of detection, and the essence of production is moved away from the sanctuary. It is important to know that what the literature is, what is its function and what is its relation to the reality. In this reality, the answer was found thanks to the Reflection Theory. In the sense of the explanations, objective of this study is to apply the Reflection Theory on Orhan Kemal’s story book called as “Bread Struggle” to provide a typical evaluation approach. At this point, examples from the stories included in the book were given in order to discuss about the signs regarding to the Reflection Theory.
