Sometimes a dream needs a push THEME
I think the theme of this story which Sometimes a dream needs a push is if you really try it, you can do it. I think this is the theme of the story because of two reasons in the story.
I think the theme of the story is if you really try it, you can do it because in the end of page 1 and in the beginning of page 2, the main character decided to do the wheelchair basketball team and this shows that my theme is correct because even though he can’t walk or run he still tried to join the basketball team and he did it. Therefore, the theme of the story is if you really try it, you can do it.
I think the theme of the story is if you really try it, you can do it because in the story Mr. Evan said “I happen to know that you played pro ball, and you’re good. But I think shooting from a wheelchair is a bit harder.” (paragraph 37, Walter Dean Myers) This shows that the theme is if you really try it, you can do it because even though Mr. Evan said “It will be a bit harder from a wheelchair” the main character still went to the basketball match. Therefore, the theme of the story is if you really try it, you can do it.
Therefore, I think the theme of the story is if you really try it, you can do it because of the two reasons.
