The Bone Cage- Turning point

          The theme of this story is still passion. Sadie and Digger show their love strongly for everything in life; for their training and even for each other. For my essay I think the three major points can be shown through: 1. Passion for their sport, 2. Passion for friends and family, 3. the passion in both Sadie and Digger’s relationship. But for the climax of the story, it is defiantly when Sadie is badly injured in a car accident with Digger. This is the major turning point because the entire story has so far been centered on Sadie training for the Olympics and how she defeats the obstacles that get in the way. Now, there is simply nothing she can do and this really changes what was expected. Her back was almost broken and she had to wear a full brace for 3 months. This gave her no chance for even stepping into the pool to train and left her with no time to recover before the Olympics. With this being the climax it was almost a disappointment for me. I was really looking forward to seeing a triumphant win or at least a medal at the Olympics. This book is still one of my favourite books, although I do normally like an unexpected ending, for some reason with this book I wished it was a happy ending. I really love when athletes who work hard get their goals granted in the end because they deserve it. So it almost seems like her life was wasted because Sadie put it on hold to accomplish her Olympic dream yet she will never have the chance to reach it.
