The book consists of many compelling short stories that revolve around the major conflict, which allowed me to read the book without losing interest. However, the book was not just entertaining to read, but taught me many life lessons and allowed me to realize many important facts. For example, in the book, Denver and Ron are two opposite people that have virtually nothing in common and are actually a little bit scared of each other at first. However, after they decide to reach out to one another, they not only become best friends, but end up changing each others’ lives for the better. This reminded me that I could be a little bit more outgoing and friendly in life, reaching out to other people instead of seeing the same couple of faces every day. If I were to meet more people and get to know them, I could make a lot of new friends. Moreover, this shows that our society, myself included, should not be so stereotypical and judgemental, especially to those that are different than us. Initially, Denver and Ron stereotyped each other without even thinking about it, and placed thoughts in their heads that they would dislike the other. People do this every day and it is horribly wrong, as you cannot judge someone simply by the way they look. Much like Ron and Denver, you must get to know a person before you can judge them, and by doing this, many people that you thought badly of may turn out to be great

Love will triumph over hate. Both love and hatred are the strongest emotions that people can feel. In the novel Life Expectancy by Dean Koontz both of these emotions are expressed.

When the government is involved, who is really in charge? Is it the government? Or is it the people, who have the control. Many examples have been shown that the people rule over the government. This can be seen in the story Shooting an Elephant. Where a police officer has every right to shoot an elephant who killed a man, but morally has conflict against doing so. There are three main themes or messages in this story, those are peer pressure, morality and action.
