Perseverance
Perseverance: steady persistence in a course of action, a purpose, a state, etc., especially in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement.
This theme can be found all throughout my novel. It is found mainly though, in the middle of the story when Ray is travelling around the country fufilling the requests of the mysterious voice.
From my novel, I think that it is saying that persevering through the toughest of times in your own journey will eventually lead to a sucessful ending. Ray Kinsella stuggled through many obstacles in his journey such as financial dept, building and tending to a baseball park and travelling across the country. He did all of this in pursuit of his goal of having his father play with the 1919 Chicago White Sox. Ray persevered and stuck to his goal, in dispite of nearly losing his farm several times, and eventually achived a sucessful end to his journey.
