The theme: The main theme is about a teenage research of self-discovery. In this book, the hero searched for his mother who separated him at his early age. It also focuses on love, getting on with others, being courageous and trying to deal with doubts, troubles and worries. As the book moves to a close, James swimming coach says to him: “You are not like a kid obeying instructions any more. You are swimming like a young man who knows where he is going.”The characters: James is the hero of the story. He is a top swimmer, and has a comfortable life with his foster parents (养父母).

The turning point: The turning point in the story comes while James foster parents are away in London, and he wonders who his birth mother is. The only thing he has is a fossil(化石) “the snake stone”. His birth mother left it behind along with a note on which she had written: “Take good care of James”. The journey: Instead of going to London, James decides to find his birth mother. With the help of his geography teacher, James sets off for the village where his mother might be found. James has painful, challenging, but also humorous and happy travels. The mother he finally meets, Anne, has a low but powerful voice in the novel. He comes to understand why she left him at a strangers door fifteen years before.

Everybody does it sometimes. And we didnt make you do it. She said nothing, but Linda knew she wouldnt have done that on her own. She was just experiencing huge peer(同伴)pressure. Sometimes, though, the stresses in your life can actually come from your peers. They may pressure you into doing something youre uncomfortable with, such as shoplifting(入店行窃), drinking or taking dangerous risks when driving a car. The peer pressure can be powerful and hard to resist(抵制). A person might feel pressure to do something just because others are doing it. Peer pressure can influence a person to do something that is relatively harmless or something that has more serious results. Giving in（屈从） to the pressure to dress a certain way is one thing going along with the crowd to drink or smoke is another. The people who are most easily influenced will follow someones lead first. Then others may go along, too so it can be easy to think, It must be OK. Everyone else is doing it. They must know what theyre doing. Before you know it, many people are going along with the crowd perhaps on something they might not do. Responding(做出反应) to peer pressure is part of human nature but some people are more possibly to give in, and others are better able to resist. People who are low on confidenceand those who easily follow others could be more possibly to give in to a risky challenge or suggestion. People who are unsure of themselves, new to the group, or inexperienced with peer pressure may also be more possibly to give in, too.( ) 42.
