Title: The Theme of Four Words
Post by: Dogman15 on February 09, 2011, 06:44:54 AM

The series starts out with "My name is Jake."

The first book ends with "Until then, we fight."

The Last book ends with "Ram the Blade Ship." :bladeship:
And K.A.'s final message ends with "You may now demorph."

Can you think of any other significant uses of four words in the series?

That's good! I hadn't thought of that.

Let me think, um.... "Everyone to battle morphs"? I don't know if that was said verbatim, but I can't think of any more...

All the good ones are three words:
"Let's do it"
"This is insane"
"Marco stop whining"
"Marco. Shut up"

Wait here's one
"Please don't eat me"
also
"Please don't kill me"

     "Tobias, scout the area"...or something like that :P

     Jake's always making Tobias do it.

"Yeah, okay.... Okay, then."

"Was it worth it?"

"two hour time limit"

"Half hawk, half boy."

"The Andalites will come."

(Jake to Tom) "Don't ever give up."

"We kick Yeerk butt."

"Now I'm totally confused." (Marco's father, to Ax, who is answering only 'yes' and 'no')

(Erek) "Android. I can't forget."

(Jake to Ax, about luck and leaders) "Elfangor's luck ran out."

(about human wars, Andalite Chronicles) <Who do you fight?> "We fight each other."


(Ellimist) "OLDER EVEN THAN WE.... HOPE THAT WE WIN."

(Marco, about if he even wants to see his mother) "I don't know anymore."

(Dak Hamee, about monsters, when Hork-Bajir fought) "We had become them."

(Tobias, about Toby's reaction) "Get pushed, push back."

(Jake asks Marco what polar bears eat.) "Dumb kids playing hero."

Here, Rachel hangs a lampshade on it:
Rachel: (narrating) Unlike Cassie, unlike Tobias perhaps, I'm ruthless at times. But even I have enough sense to know the words "we have to win" are the first four steps on the road to hell.


As for me... I think there's one really defining theme, and it only takes one word... and that's good enough, as far as I'm concerned.

<Hope.>
