.... the many themes offered. The theme that this quote portrays is shown throughout the book, but goes unrecognized until the end of the book is reached.

Either school letting out last week or just one of those giddy days, he didn’t know. It is a wonderful day to be alive. After looking into the sky for a few minutes he saw a falling star.
