  1. Fear one of the most important themes in the book which affecs characters of the book every type of character. We can see how it affects Willie throughout the novel diffrent examples would be 1) at the beggining when Mr. Tom talks about the bag, and he also points out that he looked stronger than mom. 2) He was scared to go back to london. 3) He fearead to loose the life in little wierworld. this is just one small characters part of fears there are many othersthroughout the novel

  3. Hi everyone!!!

    I think that the major theme in the story Good Night Mr. Tom is affection. This is found in the relationship between the two protagonists: Willie and Tom. An example can be found towards the end of the story were Tom, to save the little Willie, goes and kidnaps her in the hospital...

    Thanks

    I think the major theme in the Good Night Mr.Tom is affection, it is found between Mr.Tom and Willie because Mr. Tom kidnaps Willie from the hospital because he didn't want to loose him and he didn't want that Willie goes to a Children's house.

    Have a nice day!!!!

  5. I think the major theme in the book Godnight Mr Tom is friendship because is shown all the way until the book ends except in the first chapter and when Willie is at home with his mother. This theme is present between Tom and Willie, Zach and Willie.
