Day Twenty-Two

The theme of my story is somewhat complex to explain, but not really when you think about it... It's a theme that you would have to think about to really get it. The theme is "Keeping faith in family no matter what", and "Family is the most important thing." I think those are good themes to use in the story because it's something kids need to learn about; wouldn't you agree?

Events in the Story:

• Angel goes on the trip to the states; forcing Ramon, and Benjie to bond.
• The trips get extended for more time.
• Benjie begins boxing training with his father... (The bond shared between the two.)
• Ramon passes down his legacy to Benjie (in the form of boxing gloves, and his life knowledge.)
• Ramon dies, and Andres comes into the picture. 
• The family (Angel, Benjie, and Andres) being able to overcome the obstacles, and become happy again!

I think the main focus to silently interject the theme into the book is by showing the relationship between Ramon, and Benjie growing each day. I think should be a big factor in showing off my main points, and themes. I don't really think I could explain it any better than I have on this blog, but I'm definitely going to shift more of the focus on the relationships within the family; also the family as a whole. If this blog wasn't helpful... Feel free to go back to my day thirteen, and read from there because I might have explained things a little better on there. I think another moral/message/theme could be, "You never know what you have until it's gone." That was one of the lessons Benjie had to learn the hard way... Continue to read my blogs, and my book (when it's done) to find out why!

That's all for now... I've posted a link to my day thirteen below if things aren't really clear to you on this blog. I personally think I explained things a lot better on day thirteen, but it's up to you if you want to read it again. Remember, the choice is yours.... May the force be with you! Enjoy :)
