During the events of Ship
Breaker, Nailer always seems to be in a dilemma. He always needs to choose
between two things that he’d rather not. For example, he took this girl from one
oil tanker named Nita who apparently is part of another scavenging crew. Nailer’s
father lectured him about this and not to do this. Nailer’s father acts a lot
more differently than Nailer himself. He’s very violent towards his crew, just
not to Nailer. The only thing he may want is to just survive in the different
world they’re all living in.
One theme that may be developing in
the book is loyalty. When Nailer took Nita from the tanker, this caused so many
tensions that weren’t needed. So now, everyone is beginning to question who is
with whom so everyone feels uneasy towards each other, and I don’t know who is
trustworthy. Now they have to make decisions so there are no costly
consequences from the wrong decisions. At first when the book started, it
revolved around the main characters and getting to know them. Then it filled in
the blanks by telling us what is ahead for the characters and some background
information on what happened in the rest of the world. So now, all that happens
really just ties towards the end of the structured plot, which is what’s ahead
for them to encounter.
