The importance of family is a big role and message in the novel The Running Man
1. "Josephbowed his head, unable to stop feeling more then guilty about his role in Tom's condition." (pg.182).
This quote relates to my theme as is shows how much Joseph cares about Tom and how he feels like he could've avoided that.
2. "Ever since then she's had to take care of him- ..... For all those years. And look what it has done to her- drained her dry. Her career, her fiancé, her future - all gone." (pg.10)
This quote relates to my theme as importance of family involves sacrifice and caring. Caroling, Toms sister has sacrificed her life to be with him and look after him.
3. ' that afternoon Joseph felt an overwhelming dread hardening inside him like ice. At first the headline Three Missing PNG Landslide failed to make a connection, but whe Bougainville leapt form the page and felt as if he had been kicked in the chest.' (pg. 233)
This quote shows the importance of family as Joseph reading the headlines in the newspaper started to worry him, as that was where his father was working. Importance of family have many emotions with it and worrying, sorrow and dreadfulness, shows that we care for one another and that we couldn't stand to see one another get hurt and that is what Joseph and his mother are feeling at this point in time in the book.
