Novel Project Q3 Step 3

I got together with my partner Mateo Osorio and we discussed, in a very in depth discussion, the possible themes in the book The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart. After a very long and intense discussion, we both agreed that Mateo's theme was the most complete and appropriate in this case. Mine was that "change can't always be good", but Mateo's was better: "all members of a group must participate and be valued as equals for the group to prevail". We decided that the second one was better because change doesn't really happen in the book. However, the second theme is better because it shows a true concept in the story which is teamwork. Without teamwork, the Mysterious Benedict Society would have failed their mission in Nomasan Island in the Learning Institute for the Very Enlightened. Although all the team members were tired of Constance, she turned out to be the seed for the success of the mission.
