In the book
,Tandem by Anna Jarzab (non-fiction), the theme is that sometimes in life you
do things that you really don't want to do to help others. Sasha doesn’t really
have a choice wither or not to help but she does have a choice wither or not to
tell them about her visions to help them find the princess. She tells them out
of the kindness of her heart and also by the fact that helping them may mean
that she is able to go back home sooner.
She at first is set on going away and not helping
these people in any way because they took her away form her home. But, when she
learns about the whole Universe thing and about how her visions weren’t just
random dreams shes been having all the time she wants to say and find out
why she can see these visions . She also
wants to make sure that Grant , the real grant, gets home with her safely and
that when she leaves they have the real princess back.
Sasha is a very strong and brave young women , she
takes this on without fighting back and putting up a fight with them and Thomas
really admires her for that. Thomas is very smart and helped the general plan
out this whole plan to get Sasha from her home and bring her to his universe to
make her act like the princess while they find her. He cares for her and feels
bad for her but he hopes she realizes that they did this because if they hadn’t
war would have become the only answer and they did not want that.
Sometimes in
life you do things that you really don't want to do to help others. Sort of
like what Sasha had to do to help them get their princess back and kind of like
what Thomas had to do by ripping Sasha away from her home and making her come
in and act as the princess to make sure order is kept and no war has to start.
