What's the big idea anyway?
“Does that kind of make sense?” My mentor asked. I sat there thinking over what he said. It seemed simple enough. So it's just like a theme? Like in a movie” I asked. “Well yes and no. It's

"Got him!" I said to my friend. I pointed to Waldo on the page. "Yeah, I think you're right." She said. I put my face closer to the page. "Oh yeah, it's definitely him.
