Analysis Of Run Boy Run

Improved Essays
The book's theme song would be “Run Boy Run” which reflects how we do unimaginable or crazy things when being threatened. The song illustrates a boy running, in the book the boy would Robert or the Catholics doing things that seemed crazy. In the novel Robert does things he never would’ve thought he would do. Because of this “Run Boy Run” would best fit for a theme song. The eerie and dark song “Secret” by the Pierces reflects the book's sinister mood. Like the book, it has images of death and the grave. The word grave appears in the song about 6 times. The word death appears in the song multiple times. In the novel, multiple deaths occur because the Illuminati wants to scare the Catholic Church. Therefore “Secrets” would be the best song
