Themes:
- All incidents are intertwined in some way. This means that there are no random acts in life. You can't separate one life from another.
- Forgiveness: Ruby taught Eddie to let go of his anger and forgive his dad. If you let anger build up inside of you, it will tear you up inside. Then you'll become a very mean person. Don't let things get to you.
- Sacrifice: Sometimes when you let go of things, you gain other things. You can't be selfish. Give up something and you'll benefit from it. You'll get something in the end. Put others first.
