    Spare Parts is the story about how four young boys who came together, with the help of their teachers, accomplish something amazing. Throughout Joshua Davis’ story of Spare Parts, there are hints and allusions that combine to form the bigger picture.

One of these major themes is the idea of whether it is worth it to put effort into anything, even when the chances of success seem rather slim. This is the driving force of the main plot regarding the robotics competition.…

Looking back, I had no idea it would have impacted me as much as it did, but even now I still wouldn’t have changed that decision. Everything that came after that decision, no matter how difficult, shaped me into who I am today, and I was able to meet some pretty amazing people and do a few things only a handful of people can say they’ve done. In elementary school, I was in the S.C.O.P.E. (Spotsylvania County Program of Enrichment) program, my county’s way of separating out students who they considered gifted and a distraction in the classroom.…
