3rd Post of my First Book

Here is my third post on the Day of the Triffids... Today I'll talk about the theme of the book...

The main theme of this book is that people should be aware of their government and that humans can not use power properly when given to them. First of all, the reason why I said that the part of the theme is that people should be aware of their government because in the book, Mason, the main character of the book, says that the government was the one who used orbiting satellites to emit a light which blinds all people who sees it. If this was true, then the government was the one who was behind the death of millions of people as well as the loss of the position as the highest predator in the food chain.
As the for the reason for the second part of the theme, people just cannot handle power efficently is because the three major groups/parties that the main character's group meets in the book all end up becoming in ruins while the main character's group place was ruined because of one of the main parties that comes to take over the place. Thus this all comes down to the single fact that people just did not have the leadership to use the power that was given to them efficently.
Therefore this concludes my overview of the theme.
