But instead they are giving us tickets for riding a bike. In some places the

I believe the themes between my two books, The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer and Atherton by Patrick Carman, can be compared. Both of my books have a similar theme that relates to someone having too much power and because of this it results in that person becoming corrupt and selfish.
