As humans, it is alarming for sudden and unthought changes to happen. In the book Secret Agent 6th Grader by Marcus Emerson, Brody Valentine, the protagonist, learns that sometimes in life, things turn upside down in a matter of seconds, anything is possible and you just need to find a way to solve it. In the beginning of the book, Brody struggles to keep going on when difficult changes happen. By the middle, Brody starts to find out that with people around him he could be influenced to do the right things. As the story was coming to an end, Brody had figured out that he should put away all the negative thoughts and keep going no matter what. If gone by the right way, problems can turn around to become blessings. With the right idea in mind, …show more content…

The cookie had a secret code in it but Brody had no idea what to do with it because nothing like that had ever happened to him before. At that time Linus dropped it to Brody because he knew that he would be able to hide it well in case someone came looking for it.All that while LInus had been in a secret agent group. This goes against my claim because Brody was not thinking of anything like that happening to him because he just wanted someone to help him up after being shoved down. Most of all, he did not want the responsibility of having to solve unthinkable mysteries that go on at his school. Also, at the start of the story, pages 80-85 shows that Brody was “kidnapped” and interrogated by Colton and Sebastian because they thought he had something they wanted. When Brody and his fellow agent, Maddie, found the recording of …show more content…

He has faced trouble again. On page 5 of Part 3, the text states,”Valentine! My horse shoe yelled the soda jerk.” Brody is at the school dance. A missing “horse shoe" is his responsibility now.This supports my theme because he claims to have given it to one of the people that are looking for it and again, he always seems to be the center of all the problems in the school.As the story is coming to an end, Brody Valentine starts to get cold feet. On page 9 of part 3, Brody wants to give up because he has been through a lot in that school year. This goes against my theme because Brody’s main mission is to never give up, follow signs and lead to great choices.In the last parts of the book, Brody Valentine learns that having people around you always helps with problems and overcoming fears. On page 20, the text includes,”Funny how a little bit of kindness can go a long way, even with new people.” Brody learns that he can always count on someone even when things are going downhill. Maddie has helped him throughout his journey of becoming part of the secret agent group. They might keep disagreeing but keep coming back together. This all proves that Maddie is one of the reasons why Brody has kept through this journey and is grateful for

The theme off the story is successes of doing right and tragedy of doing wrong. The theme is oblivious after reading through the book. Wes Moore wrote in the introduction “our destinies can be determined by a single stumble down the wrong path, or a tentative step down the right one.” I believe this is what he is trying to teach us about humanity through his work. The book show both sides of humanity the dark side and when its at it best.

Themes are something present in everyone’s life. Some don’t apply to you, but others do. From the works we have studied this year, the themes I have chosen to include love has sacrifices, from Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare, the theme of grief in Red Cloud’s speech, and the role of gender in A Lamb to The Slaughter by Roald Dahl. First off, love has sacrifices is an easy theme and is stated in Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet are a pair of star-crossed lovers who are in a forbidden relationship by their warring families.

There were also double agents, or people who pretended to be spies for one country, but actually worked in favor of another country. Most of the people who became spies did so through a job that already gave them access to classified documents and other forms of possibly vital information. Some of the largest players in World War II had their own individual spy systems.

One theme of the book is that you must let go of the past to see and enjoy the future. I think that this is a theme in the book because Colin Singleton, the main character, was always thinking about K19, thinking about the Theorem, and writing the Theorem, that he couldn’t realize and see that he was having the probably the best summer of his life, that he had amazing friends, and that he might like a girl that wasn’t named Katherine. (No spoilers) While reading this book I, was sometimes laughing, because of Colin’s friends Hassan and Lindsey. There were sometimes though, that I felt like yelling into the book so that Colin could hear me and I could tell him to see that everything was fine around him and that he should get a little more involved.
