"Finding Nemo" is a very heart-pulling book. It tells the story of a child fish who gets taken away by some divers and a fathers dedication to get him back; even if that means swimming in the open ocean, partying with sharks, and being swallowed by a whale.
In this story there a few main characters one of which being Nemo, who is the child fish that gets taken from the reef. He has one gimp fin and it often hinders his ability to swim and keeps his father, Marlin, worried all the time. Marlin lost his wife (if you can call it that in a fish relationship) early on in the book, shortly after laying their eggs. Dory is a huge part of the story who often points out various life lessons such as pushing through life with her, "just keep swimming" lines. A few other minor characters are the Dentist who took Nemo, his neice Darla, the Pelican who is friends with the fish in the Dentist's office, and also all the fish in the Dentist's office who are trying to help Nemo escape.
The whole story takes place in the Indian Ocean and also some parts are in Australia while Nemo is sitting in a dentist's office. This story takes place in the modern time, early 2000's, and the fish seem to enjoy being in the ocean since I don't think they'd last very long on land.
The theme of this story is perseverance; being able to push through any obstacle to get what you want. If Marlin had given up on his search during the many obstacles he had, he would have never found his son and Nemo would have most likely died by the hands of Darla. I really find this story to be a heart-pulling one and very motivational.
I would recommend this story to anyone that has seen the movie and also anyone who enjoys a tale that involves perseverance and a father's undying love for his son. As I previously mentioned this story is a very motivational story and also would recommend it to anyone looking for a little bit of mushy motivation.
