The book Trapped by Marc Aronson is about 33 miners trapped under the 2000 feet underground San José. Because San José is far away, there was no rescue room for the trapped miners, so the 33 miners had to face many challenges. They suffer from hunger, but the strong relationship among them did not let them lose hope. They decided to divide the food and water so they each have the same amount and to keep them alive. While the miners were trapped under, the people above also tried really hard to save them. This rescue plan was watched by the whole world, and everyone wanted to save them. After many days, they finally found the miners under San José, to help them to get out, the rescue team asked NASA for help. With the help from all around the world, the rescue team invented The Phoenix  and successfully saved the miners.

In the first 6 chapters, the first idea that came to my mind first was the strong relationship between the miners and their families. It must be really hard for their families to see the miners trapped underground. And they are the people who cared about the miners the most.

When the story came to chapter 8, more and more issues were going on with the miners and the rescue plan.  The main idea I found out here is everyone working together can overcome difficulties. Everyone wanted to save the miners so they has the same goal and they tried their best to save them. This world wide rescue was the main attention at that time.

After reading the whole book, I noticed that hope was something the miners and the people above always had. They kept trying so they can succeed, and no one is giving up. So one theme I found out here is to always keep hope.

This book might be interested to all people who wants to know more about rescuing and the nature. I doesn’t have that much storyline, however, it contains a lot of informational story happens in the real life.

Thank you for reading my blog post about the book Trapped.
