2014 Summer Reading second post

Some things I have noticed  about the two main characters as I have read is that Nailer seems to have a soft side hidden underneath all of the dust and grime from hos work crawling through vents in light crew. Also that all he wants is to get away from the living hell of the beaches and their rusting giants. Pima has the same general plan except she doesn't want to leave she only wants to make it bog, or big enough to get off crew and pay off her debts. Another thing about the both of them that really separates them, it is that Pima will kill to acquire her dream while Nailer would risk it all to protect a human life even if he eternally damned himself into the work crews. Next up I have noticed two themes while reading that became mildly evident, the first being fear and the second is escape. Firstly I noticed the theme of fear in the form of Nailer, and Pima talking about scavenging the wrecks and how any day they could die and since they don't want to die and are desperately trying to survive it suggests a fear of death. The second theme escape is more simple, they are secretly attempting to make it big with a lucky strike and get off of light crew no matter what and this shows a desire to stop the repetitive deathly tasks required of them whilst they work in the crew. Finally the book I  structured in a many of chapters numbering to a total of 24 and the book has an epilogue with an addition to the story along with an intro that jumps immediately into the daily life of Nailer as he collects copper to survive in order to draw in readers to the amount of danger the main male character faces on a daily basis. If you have also read ship breaker please comment below on other themes you may have noticed while reading.
