There are many themes in this novel; one is facing your fears. From the beginning of the novel you can tell Juan has a lot of fears. When Juan and Rual get stopped by the G-2 agent Juan is so scared they would get caught that he is unable to move from the car. When Juan and the others started to load the inner tube every noise made Juan nervous that someone was going to see them and it also made him question if they should go. There are many more places Juan had to faces his fears such as Andres getting shot and Rual getting eaten. After they died Juan learned to face his fears by himself. He knew he had to; it was the only way to stay alive. By the end of the book I think Juan has faced all his fears and has become more confident.
