My three main characters Standish Treadwell, Gramps and Hector who all want different things which are very similar. I think what Standish really wants is to see his mother, father and Hector again. I would say that gramps also wants this but not for his own sake, for Standish's. I think what Hector really wanted was to please everyone and to stop all of the inequality between the different zones and that was why he was beginning to rebel against the higher groups rules, for example, when he crossed the wall out of his own zone to get a ball instead of obeying the rules of his own zone.
Throughout this novel there seems to be a lot of themes growing as you read. Out of the many themes friendship seems to be one of if not the strongest theme touched upon during this novel.one of the smaller but very crucial to the development of the story is danger, another of equal value to the story is rebellion, as I said these may be smaller than friendship but they are huge in the long run because without them the story wouldn't be as attention grabbing and exciting for the reader. So far this book has been a lot about breaching the rules and standing up for what you believe in.
The story is told in first person, I feel like there is always something else hidden beneath the surface of what is actually written on the page, so it really makes you stop and think "well what was meant by that" and think about what you are reading about and helps develop a better understanding.
