So many people have died from becoming lazy, doing nothing but go on their phones, devices, rather than doing everyday things.

Rules and order is another popular topic written into the book. It is stated that “All books can be beaten down with reason.” This was said by Captain Betty, a quote ironically coming from a book itself.
