The theme throughout this story is growing up and facing fears. The author expresses this, albeit painstakingly slow and boring, through Isaac's confrontation with the Bear.“Courage, and honor, and pride,” his father said, “and pity, and love of justice and of liberty. They all touch the heart, and what the heart holds to becomes truth, as far as we know the truth. Do you see now?”I think this is the moment that we find out what it means to grow up.
