Theme

In the book The Power of Nine written by Pitticus Lore John and some of the other nine kids left from a planet called Lorian are on a mission to find a evil ruler called Senkturas Ra. Senkturas is the ruler of a evil planet that destroyed Johns home planet. The main theme of this book would be determination because of the fact that every one of the nine kids want to kill Senkturas Ra. Not only is determination main theme in the book The Power of Nine it is one of the biggest themes in the book Mocking Jay too.

Some quotes from the story that support this theme are when John says to Six
"I would rather take my life than let my planet suffer any more."
Because of that statement that would also state that John is determined to get to what he needs to get to.

My biggest reason that I think that determination is the main theme in the book The Power of Nine is because in one of the battles that is taking place in the book John says
"I am determined to catch Senkturas La and when I do I don't know what will happen then."
It states right there that John is determined to catch him.

In the book Mocking Jay Katniss is on a mission to what everyone thinks to kill president Snow for creating the Hunger Games and wont stop until her mission is done. This shows a big amount of determination because she states that she wont stop until her mission is done.

In conclusion I think that both books themes are determination. I support my idea because there are so many quotes and lines from the book that state what there goal is and they will not stop until they meet there goal.
