Adams Final Post

The main theme of the book is life isn't perfect. There are many different examples through out the book about Juan's life being horrible: when his father is taken away and killed, when the hurricane just has to come during those few days they were at sea, when his two friends, his raft mates, are shot by the people on the boat and eaten by a shark, and his whole life being contained by the Communist Cuban government and not able to be let out and explored. Life isn't perfect is a good quality for this book and all books because it is so true. Life is not perfect no matter how hard you try because you will mess up once in a while and you can't go back in time to fix it and make it better. When people die to save some one else , like Alberto, it isn't perfect like life even though it is very heroic.
