Eragon - Theme and Summary

Theme:

In the book, Eragon I believe that throughout the story the central theme is, "To continue to fight after being taken down."

This is the theme I found because in the beginning of Eragon you find that two marauders burn down Eragon's house along with his Uncle, Garrow, inside, who perishes not long after. Even after this crushing effect on his emotions he sets out with the story teller, Brom, and follows after the two hooded villains.

 I found this theme very similar to real life because you can see today that even if you lose a battle that doesn't mean you've lost the war, or if you lose someone close to you, you take time to grieve and fight on in life.

 I think the author wrote this story to show that even the most unlikely people have the courage to spread justice and are able to pick themselves off the ground in even the most difficult situations.
