If I could think of one word that would describe Peter it would be survivor. I chose survivor because Peter goes through a lot of struggles especially his mom being dead. On page 47 the text states, “When Peter’s mother had died, he’d gone for a while to a therapist.” Peter had to get through it and work hard to be strong. He also had to deal with getting ride of pax. On page 7 the text states, “as the car sped away in a pelting spray of gravel, the father cried out the boys name, Peter! And the boy cried out the only other name the fox knew. Pax!” Peter didn’t want to get ride of pax but he had to do what his dad thought was right since there was a war. This is how I know Peter is a survivor.

I think the theme of the story is fight for what you love. I think this because Peter is going to find Pax and he has a rough journey ahead of him. On page 18 the text states “leaving Pax hadn’t been the right thing to do. He jumped to his feet- he’d already lost a lot of time.” This tells me Peter is getting up and ready to find his buddy. During Peter’s journey he had a struggle because he broke his leg and that didn’t stop him to go find Pax. On page 55 the text states, the pain was far broken thumb feel like a mosquito bite in comparison. He couldn’t walk.” This is why I think the theme of the story is fight for what you love.
