Crispin The Cross of Lead - Theme

After I finished the book, Crispin The Cross of Lead, by Avi, I learned a lot about what the author wanted to teach me. The author throughout the book taught me that even though you will face many hardships in your life, courage, love, and friendship will bring you success and positive inpact. For example, in the book, Crispin is accused as a wolf's head for stealing from the town's manor although he didn't do the crime. After this happens, many people are killed for helping him when they weren't supposed to. Crispin thinks that all hope is lost until he finds someone who becomes his master, then his friend who tries to help him. The book, Crispin The Cross of Lead, shows that without the friendship and love from Bear, Crispin would not have survived. He also shows that the courage of combined friendship brought Crispin and Bear far along their journey. The author also shows in a good way that you have to believe in the things that you know are right and must have positive thoughts. At the end of the book, Bear gets caught for helping Crispin and gets whipped and beat up badly. Crispin builds up his courage, learns what is right, and uses the facts of him being the manors son, and frees Bear. Crispin The Cross of Lead, is an outstanding book that you can not easily put down. The book is full of mysteries and fun, but also teaches you about life.
