1- 127
(insert Symbols icon)
In this action-packed novel, there may not seem to be many symbols. However, it is actually chock full of symbol. The first symbol is Toshio sitting up on the rooftop throwing arrows at those running past when the game started. This symbolizes fear and the notion "eat before being eaten".
(insert Ethics icon)
This story is chock full of controversial topics. First, the major thing that the characters are divided about is to kill, or to work together and die together? Of course, many characters such as Kazuo just decide to kill and don't have any regrets. However, many students such as Toshio have mental battles on whether killing is the right thing to do or not.
