Trapped by Marc Aronson is about how the world rescued thirty- three miners who were trapped 2000 feet below the surface. The book shows the perspective of miners who were set out to a desert, San Jose, and how they tolerated the time period.  The author includes physical and environmental factors and technologies which helped rescuing miners when they faced challenges. Along the way, we can learn about mining and what problem miners are suffered through the process.

I really enjoyed reading this book, and as you scroll the post, you would recognize plenty of central ideas and themes. ?

The first central idea that I came across in my notebook was: People in higher society should use their power in a responsible way. 

See my ideas here:

As I read further,  I saw many examples that people above the surface tried to help miners who were trapped below the Chilean Desert and I realized that If you have patience and trust to somebody, can get what you want.  For central idea, enduring tiredness is close to the goal. 

While I was reading chapter 11 (The Race Down), chapter 12 ( Phoenix Rising), I tried  hard to put themes together that I had been collected however the major two themes that I found were completely different, therefore I had difficulties through the process. However as I reread previous chapters, I soon realized that combination of two themes would be “You would never give up hope and lose patience even you feel powerless, uncontrolled”. Because I determined that the first theme I found was a part of the second theme. In addition, I assumed central idea as the way of rescuing and its backstory. 

To sum all this process, I took note about cause & effect, it made me thinking more about the themes, central idea of the book, however I ended my note-taking right here because I was pretty satisfied with my works that I had been done.
