Themes Of Red Kayak

There were three major themes that persisted throughout Priscilla Cummings' book, Red Kayak. The first theme was the endurance of loss and remorse. The second theme was that actions have consequences. The last theme was don't follow in someone else's shadow when they're doing something they shouldn't be.

The endurance of loss and remorse was the first of three themes. This subject runs throughout the book; Brady is the one who has demonstrated it because he believes he killed Ben and spends the entire novel blaming himself for his death and carrying the shame of his death with him. Another instance of this theme was when Brady's companions drilled holes in the boat, resulting in Ben's death, but he remained in their shadows despite the fact that they were doing something that they should not have. The last proof that was shown in the novel was that when Brandy's sister died, his entire family went into chaos, and they tried to act as if Amanda never existed, which they considered their method of "fixing" the problem; Brandy still regrets not spending a greater quantity of time alongside her and experiences an enormous surge of sorrow as a result of her death. This book's theme has taught me that no matter what happens or how guilty you feel, keep going.

When Brady discovered the drill, he began to realize it was the cause of the kayak sinking. He could've tried to stop J.T. and Digger, but Brady didn't, and this would later be the cause of Ben's death. When Digger and J.T. are caught by the police for tampering with the kayak, which resulted in a death, they are forced to face the consequences of their actions. They're charged with a crime, and they have to make amends through community service. This shows how actions can have consequences that can impact your life for a long
