Rick Yancey conveys multiple themes through The 5th Wave, including of which is “Survival depends on being dedicated to others, not one’s self.” Two other themes are “Love can drive people beyond their limits” along with “To win a war you must know how your enemy thinks.” These three central elements had been clearly expressed throughout the book and became very prominent messages by my completion of The 5th Wave. “Survival depends on being dedicated to others, not one’s self” has a different meaning to different people, including some of the characters in the book.
