In, "The Invention of Hugo Cabret" by Brian Selznick a boy named Hugo Cabret lives in a train station in Paris. His father died in a museum fire and the only thing that survived from the fire was a automaton or robot that can write and his uncle that was taking care of him had left him and he was alone at the train station. His whole goal was to fix the automaton to make it write.
I think the main theme of this book is to do what you want to do. I think this because even though he has barley any money and he lives in a secret room in a train station he still try's to finish the automaton and figure out what it writes.
I think that the theme of this book is to do what you want to do. This is because in the book Hugo has very little money he tries to fix the automaton that his father was trying to fix. He does this by stealing items from a toy booth and using a book that his father gave him that tells him how to build it. Also even though he has basically nothing and lives in a secret room in a train station with practically no money. He's living alone and getting no income while fixing clocks at the train station and he still does what he still try's to fix the automaton.
In conclusion, the main theme of this book is to do what you want to do. I think this because even though he has so many hard things in his life and then he still did what he wanted to do by trying to fix the automaton.
I've read this book and watched the entire movie. I felt that it was almost entirely the same. Hugo's goal was to figure out what the automaton means. Does it tell what Hugo's father's last words were? I thought about it and I found out that the anyone can go out to risks that are dangerous just to figure out a person's saying. It shows how much a person cares/loves someone. It made feel hopeful at the end when he lives with Mr. Melies when he despised him at first.
