Theme
I think the theme of this story is that changing the past is
hard, but you can fix multiple things from the past if you
try hard enough.
How this theme is brought out in the book in this book is since
Joe decides to go back to the past and save Shoeless Shoe he has
to make big decisions and thinks really hard. He finds out some
things aren't very easy to change. Some things can't be changed at
all. Although, in the end, something great comes out of it.
