When a war begins and a fight for survival ensues, many turn tail
and run but there are those few with courage and bravery that will stand their
ground and are willing to make any sacrifice.
Many of the sacrifices made were with their own life but for the ones
who survived the war the sacrifices of the deceased were not in vain. The theme in the Maelstrom is self sacrifice.
Max a hero who is part of an elite
fighting group/hit squad has lost many of his friends because of their
sacrifices. For example one of his favorite teachers, Mrs. Kraken, committed
suicide to keep the enemy at bay for a longer period of time and Nolan, one of
his friends, and the sanctuary keeper/animal protector died saving the animals
that were helpless or injured.
The place where the most self sacrifices
are made are on the battlefield where the wounded protect the strong to fight
another day. War, war is a very deadly and its sacrifices are always made in
blood of one or another. Why? Why are there so many sacrifices associated with
war all of them being in blood? To make a self sacrifice takes courage and
bravery especially one that costs you your life. There may be a time when you
just quit but you must always remember and recognize the ones who didn’t quit, and
stayed to complete the task at hand.
