Every book has a theme. The theme of Heaven is for Real is what life is after death. Some people believe that there is a place we go to after we die called Heaven. Others believe in stuff like reincarnation or that we just disappear after we die and become a star or something like that. The theme in this story strengthens the story because it pretty much is the story. Like I have said, this book is about a boy visiting afterlife. He describes what Heaven is like. In my opinion, I think he really did visit Heaven. I believe this because he said things that the average 3-4 year old wouldn't know. He described things like hearing the angels singing. He even described what his parents were doing when he visited Heaven and looked down at his family. Maybe this story is a scam but I think and hope it isn't.
Another theme of this story could be looking through the eyes of a child. Children have big imaginations and see things and believe things that teenagers and older people grow out of seeing and believing. If more people used their imagination like kids, we would be able to see or believe things that would be hard to believe as an older person.
I just started reading this book and I love it so far! Do you like it? I saw the movie last weekend and it was awesome.
ReplyDeleteThis book looks very interesting and I will have to add it to my list. I like how you describe the theme of the book and apply it to our lives. I also like how you include evidence in your blog.
