Theme
My theme is "You can find a passion no matter where you are".This is the theme because the main character,Rudi,finds that weapons and things in war excite and entertain him.He finds this out when he gets in his first fire fight. The conflict in the story actually makes him want to keep going.I think this is the point that the author was trying to put in this book.
