The book cover a range of themes. The one's that stood out for me would be: war, government brutality, racism and child traumatic experience of violence.

The themes contained in the book include racism, police brutality, war, betrayal and many more. The one I can relate to at this point is police brutality.

There are more themes in Wild World but let me pinpoint violence, brutality and determination as core themes for me. These have brought about deaths through the killings of innocent souls.

This book presents various themes such as corruption, racial tension, police work, violence, betrayal, and love. I am glad that I could not relate to social and political issues. Also, I liked that Peter S. Rush remarkably illustrated all the significant problems American society faces.

I find the theme of old versus the young, objectification of women, corruption of government, decadence in social structures, and idealism of the youth.

Wild World by Peter S. Rush covers a wide range of topics, but to mention some of the most important topics I'd say it covers war, police brutality, and violence as some interconnected topics, but also love

Though we are far from the war in Vietnam, we should not forget...The novel reminds us about the fragility of peace, the prevailing violence and racism. Women's rights and love also can be found among the themes.

The book had themes that were easy to relate to such as betrayal, police brutality, discrimination and racism. I have witnessed all this first-hand so I felt like I was in the book.

Police brutality is one of the themes in the book. It reflects what we hear on the news in various countries of the world. Such themes need to be discussed often to bring about awareness and a positive change in the society.

While I went into this story expecting a number of themes, love was not one of them, but it made for a pleasant surprise.

The story is mainly woven around war and the emotions of people who are either directly or indirectly involved in it. In addition to that the concepts of revolution are also taken into attention.
