How much ambition is too much ambition? When do begin to forget just where you came from and who you are? Ambition is a great thing; it helps you get the places you want in life. But once you start focusing too much on the future and what might happen, you forget to live for today. The character in “Prodigal” is that type of person, he wants to leave the small town and take over the world, and he wants to do anything he can. But he begins to lose himself and the people around him because of this ambition. In “Prodigal” By Bob Hicok the reader should learn that having too much ambition can be a bad thing because you begin to separate yourself from your friends and family resulting in forgetting where you came from and losing yourself.
