Long Answer

1. Multiple characters sacrifice their own wants and needs for the good of others, including Hiroto, Jack’s mother, and Evan Wei. Each believes in a goal bigger than themselves, whether this is on a small scale—like Jack’s mother doing the best for her son—or on a wider scale, like Hiroto sacrificing himself to save his ship. These present a broader idea to the reader of honoring the big picture over the everyday. (Various stories)

2. Many of the book’s stories use multiple generations to convey their ideas, including the relationship between Lilly and Mr. Kan, Maggie and her descendants, and Lily and Logan.
