At the beginning of the novel the author expresses the main theme, which is never giving up and finding a way to keep striving forward. She expresses this theme by using literary devices such as flashbacks, foreshadowing, and irony. Hillenbrand uses a distinctive structure of elements to express how Louie fights his way through the struggles of getting what you strive for. Examples of this would be fulfilling a dream of becoming one of the best runners in the world, staying alive in the middle of the ocean on a raft, or becoming the person who you have always wanted to be.
