The Theme in The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick

The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick is about a young boy named Hugo who has a goal of fixing the invention that his dad showed him. The machine is apparently supposed to write something once fully operational. Hugo was so interested in the machine that he got his dad to start trying to fix it. Hugo would always say, "don't you want to know what it will write." That is one thing that is keeping me into the book; I really want to know what the machine will write, maybe a code or message, or simply nothing! Anyway his dad was focused on fixing the machine that one day he was staying at work late drawing the parts in his notebook, the guard didn't know he was in the building and locked the door. Then a fire started and killed Hugo's dad. I think the overall theme in the story will be Hugo’s quest to fix the machine and find out what it says and possibly go on some sort of mission to find out what it means. Or maybe he will find out how to fix it and become famous because the invention is so cool and complex. It may be the second one because the books name in The Invention of Hugo Cabret. To sum it up the theme of the story is Hugo’s mission to fix the machine and find out what it will write and possibly go on a mission of some sort to find out what that message means.
